The series is by Susan Cooper, and the books go like this, I think:
Over Sea, Under Stone
The Dark is Rising
Greenwich
The Grey King
Silver on the Tree
Although I might have the first and last books mixed up...
The movie is a TRAVESTY. It is horrid, horrid, horrid.
You have them in perfect order..
Auuugh... I so am never never never seeing that movie. EVER EVER EVER
God...it needs boycotted >_<
Seriously...it was -worse- than the barbarism of Howls moving castle...whom could have in its own right stood as a movie of its own accord if one dissasociated from the most excelent book.
"the Skeeker" can't even do that...its one of the saddes excuses for special effects and poor acting with WORSE directirs I have ever -heard- of. And -thats- just from the people whom were either staff or had the misfortune of going to SEE it.

Howl's Moving Castle.
Absolutely TERRIBLE.
I sometimes ask myself what Ms. Jones was thinking when she let them do that to her novel. They took a wonderfully imaginative, humorous story, butchered and Frankenstein's Monster-ed it, and then ended up with huge popularity.
I was terribly upset over the movie because when I was in middle school and read HMC, my first thought was, "Wow, this would be such a great movie!" And then they made it a movie...

Well, if you want a funny little adventure/comedy/romance(ish) story about a semi-pessimistic firey young woman who doesn't really mind all that much that a witch aged her about 60-70 years, a "heartless" wizard who is a huge coward, a sarcastic fire demon, and loads of intrigue, read the book.
If you want a young-woman-turned-old who constantly fluxes in age and never suffers physically from her condition, an aristocratic-styled pacifistic young man who changes into a creepy bird-creature, a semi-sarcastic whiny fire demon, and weird vehicles in a time that you wouldn't expect to see them in, watch the movie.
