I haven't read this right this minute, but I noticed it on a list I'm reading my way through, and given that I did a reread of this series this year I'm just adding in the whole thing now for completeness. Anyway, I read and reviewed each volume separately, and the average rating comes to four stars for the set. Philosopher's Stone and Azkaban earned five stars each, Order of the Phoenix four, and the rest of them three.

For me, the high point of this series was Azkaban, and it sort of meandered it's way downhill from there. Don't get me wrong - I really enjoy this series, and have read it quite a few times now, and I do find the later books enjoyable. I also find them bloated. The length kept creeping up, and the story didn't always justify that, I think. Didn't stop them being entertaining, though.
