I can understand why people don't like LotR, the books, and might prefer the films. They're condensed and tell generally the same story as the books in a pleasing package. The books are a commitment that takes effort to enjoy.
 
LotR books > LotR films > Harry Potter films > Harry Potter books > Narnia books > Narnia films

The only reason I'm putting Harry Potter films ahead of Harry Potter books is the presence of one Emma Watson.

Haven't read Narnia books since childhood, but I don't recall especially loving them. I got through them. I also first read Hobbit/LotR at that age too, but those inspired yearly re-reads.

"LotR movies" means LotR. Not Hobbit. I only left Hobbit off the list because I've never seen a complete Narnia movie, so I can't compare... but Hobbit movies are in the same area, I think.

Actually, I'd say the Narnia movies are slightly better than the Hobbit films.
