My book preference go by this order: PoA, GoF, SS/PS, and CoS.

I love PoA because we experience character development;  we learn more about what happened the night of James and Lily's death;  we are introduced to Lupin and Sirius; we find out one reason out of my many reasons, I'm sure, for Snape to be a jerk; Hermione's "Bad Day" in which she slaps Malfoy (classic moment); all of the Shrieking Shrack scene; all of the Time Turner scene; and for those subtle H/H moments ;-).

My least favorite is CoS because I don't know.  I just don't feel as though there is much going on even though there is.  I feel like there are parts that can be skipped.  Which sucks because according to JKR CoS has clues to the rest of the series!  It drives me crazy because I can't find anything!
