Which means the video quality in 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 part 1 and 7 part 2 is a smaller improvement over the 1080p Blu-ray's, instead of a larger improvement as seen in movies 1 & 2, because apparently the original film negatives were scanned at native 4K and then color corrected for HDR.
If you really want more information about 2K Digital Intermediaries, what goes into them, and why it's likely some movies will likely not get a native 4K rescan, I'd check out this Reddit thread from a few years ago:

"Warner's 2160p, HEVC/H.265-encoded UHD of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone derives from a new 4K scan of the film's original camera negative, followed by extensive color correction and HDR encoding. The result is an image of exceptional detail and clarity, with new intensity in the many shadings of color in the environs in and around Hogwarts."
"Switching to the old Blu-ray after watching the UHD makes you realize just how badly dated it is, with its soft image and murky texture. The 4K presentation of Sorcerer's Stone instantly supplants the Blu-ray as the definitive visual presentation of the film that launched the franchise."
On some of the later movies, it sounds like they had to use the 2K source, but there are still some improvements.
"According to the best available information, Warner's 2160p, HEVC/H.265-encoded UHD presentation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 has been sourced from a 2K digital intermediate, which limits the prospect that the format's superior resolution will reveal additional detail. Still, the HDR encoding provides subtle but noticeable improvements over the standard Blu-ray, courtesy of enhanced contrast, black levels and highlights."

supermanrob is expressing the opinion that the video quality of the movie on Blu-ray disks is not as good as it could have been. The original movie was filmed with 35mm film. It is not unusual for different digital versions to be if higher or lower quality based on how the digitization is performed and how carefully the work is done. Sometimes transfers are not as clear and clean as they could be or introduce noise or artifacts. I do not know specifically what problems three might be with this specific set of movies... I am not saying any complaints about it at the linked fan site, so most people might have trouble seeing any problem with this version.

Are they better than the BD sure(they weren't that good though).
As far as what is possible on a UHD transfer no not in my opinion.
The last two are the better ones but that's not saying much.
Just my personal opinion from comparison.
