Overall the first film was IMO the best and the third was the weakest but I think the real problem is that these films were all written as films. Books allow scope to really flesh out characters and give them depth. Brilliant books can be adapted into brilliant films (a process that never seems possible in reverse). These films suffer from simply not having the same breadth & depth that you get in the original HP books. Although my head is full of HP knowledge, it doesn't compensate for weak characterization. The original HP set a very high bar. Also, despite that the screenplays were written by JK Rowling, there seemed to be more than a few instances of things happening which contradicted 'canon' in the HP-verse. Colin Farrell made a menacing Graves and Dan Fogler was superb as Jacob. I also enjoyed Zoe Kravitz.
