I'm borrowing the Harry Potter blu-ray set from one of my sister's friends. I'm watching the eight films for the first time. Watched the first and second and to me, they're good, but they don't exactly measure up to my favorite fantasy movie series: The Lord of the Rings. The characters are in no way as memorable as characters in LOTR, but for what it's worth I think the acting is decent. I think Emma Watson did a great job in the HP films. The visual effects are pretty good. Overall I rate the HP movies 6/10
