I think they're getting worse simply because of the sheer volume of material that has to be left out of them. What I wish is that these films had gotten the LOTR treatment and been allowed to run 3 hours long so that more of the books could be realized on screen.

neither.
i think they're consistantly great as of right now.
they're all amazing.
there's no amazement or downfall, if you know what i mean.
they're all great!
however, i do prefer the first two movies..
as movies, though, they haven't been getting worse or better.

Well, the 4th is my favorite book and so its my favorite movie too and I think its the one they did the best job on. I would say that the movies are getting better because the actors are as well and improving with each movie.

BETTER dude ok you try fitting a 800+ book in an about 3 hour time period and still get the main plot it is hard if they followed everything in the book it would take like 8+ hours and tons and tons of money

It depends on who you're asking, I would say the movies are getting better entertainment wise. They're more enjoyable and entertaining to watch from a HP movies fans' view.

Opposed to the die hard fan who love the HP books would say they're getting worse as they move further and further away from the story line.

But my answer is that the movies are getting worse. I hate how they cut some scenes and parts from the books.

The movies are indeed getting worse.

Film 6 spoiler.

Spoiler:

They cut the Gaunts out of HBP!! That was my favorite part, and I was so excited to see it come to life on the big screen. How rude.

I think they are getting better. The Order Of The Phoenix was pretty good.

Personally, I think they're getting worse.
Why did they get rid of the old director? The first and second movies were wonderful.

In my opinion, worse.

Much worse.

As the movies get longer, more things will be left out.

And they've abused Ron's character thus far.

Pushed him into the background, they make him seem like he's stupid, and they've given a lot of HIS lines to Hermione.
