I loved the 3rd book because it brings about an inner and outer connectedness between Harry and his family. He finally discovers Sirius and his connection to him and he channels his father through his stag patronus.
Sirius aside we are also introduced to some very great characters as well--Professor Lupin, a most interesting combination of a sweet paternal person and a hideous ferocious werewolf. And dementors must be one of the vilest fictional characters ever written into a young adult book.
I just feel the 3rd book was pivitol both in advancing the plot and Harry's magical development and emotional maturity.
That said I did enjoy the 7th book for the its sense of continuous journey/quest/adventure. I'm a fan of all the books. :D
