The 3rd Harry Potter movie deviates the farthest from the book, but does it in intelligent ways. ( Unlike the 2nd which did it in unintelligent ways ) However a couple of gripes continue from the first and second movies.

The absence of Peeves is sorely felt. He is the comic relief of the book.
Quidditch is an illogical game in the book. In the movies with no penalties and no rules its absolutely ludicrous.

A few things in the third I wish they had though....

Neville Longbottom screws up majorly.
Harry casting the patronus at Malfoy ( dressed as a dementor ) in the second quiditch match.
Snape's reaction and subsequent hissy fit upon learning that Black escaped.

As for the fourth movie, I expect the series to go PG-13. The murder and the rather vicious fight that follows at the end ( which is important to the plot ) will be quite hard to sugar-coat to a PG rating.
