Okay, I was so against Harry Potter when the movies first started coming out. I thought it looked like some really dumb little kid movie. Well, here I am twenty five years old and totally addicted to Harry Potter. I can not get enough of the movies and am now starting to get the books. I even play an interactive RPG Harry Potter online game. So, I guess it isn't dumb after all. Tell me your thoughts.

They are really good. I really want to start getting the books! I heard the new movie is coming out July 13th. I'm excited! Thanks for the response!

July seems so terribly far away! I heard an interview with JK that said she hasn't decided yet who will live and die in the final book. I so don't want Dumbledore to be dead.

I love the HP series, the books are the best. I took HP in college over the summer, I am just finishing reading book 6 now. Great series

They have Harry Potter courses in college? That is crazy! It is a good series! Thanks for the response!

I like the harry potter movies. I think the books are much better though. They just have more detail. But they did a great job with the movies.


myLot reputation of 91/100. mfrancq (1006)   ranked 131 out of 1,378 in harry potter  4 years ago

Books are alway better in my opinion. I don't think they can put that much detail into a movie like they do a book. Otherwise the movie would last forever, and more then likely lose the attention of it's viewers. Thanks for the response!


myLot reputation of 99/100. Trace86 (3407)  4 years ago

With the books, you need more details because you have to use your imagination to set the scenario. The movie requires no imagination on your part. Also, I was disappointed to see some of the bits of the books they left out. They cut some good stuff.

Yes, i have never thought of harry potter series to be stupid. I think its purely the direction and cinematography that can make the same script look dull or like heaven. These movies are made by a great team of dedicated people.

It took forever for my husband to talk me into giving the movie a chance. I finally gave in and now I watch it and keep up with everything way more then he does! Thanks for the response!

myLot reputation of 91/100. mfrancq (1006)   ranked 131 out of 1,378 in harry potter  4 years ago

How cute! And very true at that. Kind of like that Don't judge a book by it's cover type of things huh? Thanks for the response!

I love the movies too. I especially like it when Hermione does something exceptional and earns the respect and admiration of the boys. I liked when she was coming down the stairs wearing a dress for the Yule ball and the boys really saw her for the first time. I hated when they made her cry. Hagrid is priceless!

I love the Harry Potter movies. I'm a big kid at heart. The first one looked good so I went to see it. I'm not hooked but I really love the movies a lot. I've seen a preview for the next one. It looks intense.

I had never read any of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter books until I saw Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, and while I'm not a big fan of either the movies or the books (I only have Books 1 and 5), I really was surprised that neither falls into the category of "Just for Kids" fare.

Indeed, I wouldn't be surprised if someday Rowling isn't hailed as one of the most important and influential storytellers in English-language literature. (I'm also, by the way, for anyone who can get kids excited about reading; I happen to think that if textbook authors/editors would make an attempt to make history and other subjects' textbooks more interesting, our educational system would be better off.)

Harry Potter ..dumb..??? NO WAY! I love him. i enjoy the books more than the movies though. i can just imagine the whole thing in my mind...My imagination is so vivid that when i see the movies i think i've already seen them even if i have only read the book. LOL.

 
10. myLot reputation of 96/100. Shaun72 (11895)   ranked 95 out of 1,378 in harry potter   3 years ago

i am the same way. i thought they were stupid kids movies untill I happened to see one of the movies on t.v. and after I read on of the books I became addicted also. I am 34 so I agree once you get started reading her books you don't want to start I hope after the harry Potter books are done she writes books about somethings simalar to harry Potter or that she writes more.
