I tried HH once and it didn't grab my interest (hmm, so two people are chatting in front of a fire about someone and there's a talking cat, ahh ). You say it has great battle scenes, hmm maybe I'll try again. This time leafing though to the actual good bits.
You must have started with one of the later books. I highly recommend reading them in order, starting with On Basilisk Station. That conversation will probably be much more interesting when you actually know the background involved, and I think the earlier books put more effort into pulling the reader in right off the bat.
