Another non-Harry reader here. But I am a HP (and TdF) widow.
I tried slogging my way through the first book. No wait. Maybe it was the second. I have seen all of the movies - they are harmless, but the books I find impossible to read. Plus, they're all the same. Here's a summary of just about every book to date (last one excepted - but I have no reason to believe it won't be more of the same):
"Boy, that was some awful summer. My aunt and uncle are nasty" says Harry.
"Don't look now, Harry." says someone. "He-who-must not be named is after you - again." [Convenient how he always shows up during the school year, isn't it? - ed.]
The school administration either (a) looks the other way, or (b) actively enables star athlete's breaking the rules.
Bang! Crash! A miraculous spell conjured up just in the nick of time!
Yay!!! Harry! Boy wizard - you beat the baddies again!!!
The end. Have a great summer!
