I've never read the first nor felt any lack from this. The second is really good. So is the fourth, which I read first, and which stood alone just fine. I'm not sure what I think of the third. I liked the fifth, more or less, though I have issues with not the ending per se, but the way it's presented. There was a lot I liked about the sixth -- but that's also where I decided to get off. It wasn't just the power escalation. It was the B-plot, where Harry decides to get proactive so the author can have a B-plot, but at the end, accomplishes nothing. Oh, but, fans assure me, it is set up for book 7. In that case, I contend, it should be in book 7.
So, why are you thinking of reading them? I don't think there's anything especially new there, from your point of view.
