Yep, have read all the books, and enjoyed the movies. Had a coworker who was also passionate about the books. She refused to see the movies because they might conflict with the mental image she had acquired from the books and did not want to release that imagery.
yeppers...I'm a fan. Admittedly though, I couldn't get into the books until after the 3rd movie came out. Part of that had to do with the names! Just couldn't get past them. My kids kept telling me to read them, saying that the books were so much better than the movies. Finally, after not being able to sleep one night, I picked up the first one. The later ones I think are much better, with more detail and imagination. So glad I listened to the kids---the books are better by a landslide!
I like the books and the movies.
They are sort of different but each are good in thier own right.
The movies sort of remind me of 60's early 70's Disney, the last
good era before they went MTV/Pixar
I love the books, the movies didn't have that extra bit of magic for me though( I thought the actor who played Harry was one of the worst child actor ever!). Half of the movies were filmed around where I live and they even Harry Potter tours now ! Eagerly awaiting "the Deathly Hallows" and have pre-ordered my copy. They get bigger each time and I'm not sure I can cope with the weight anymore....
I do think JK Rowling has managed to create an entire universe which all the readers can visualize so well and her writing really is wonderful.
Yes, I read all of the Harry Potter books (I'm telling you I DID buy them for the boys!). I have filched them from the bedside of whichever boy was lucky enough to have a copy lying next to his bed in the middle of the night. They didn't need them until the following afternoon, at which time I could always claim that since it (they) were left out, they were fair game. (As a father, I have learned that any excuse is better than none, or even better than the truth).
I've read them all...twice! I am very excited about the next book, but will be sad when it's over. I had just finished reading Lord of the Rings, and my friend recommended reading the Harry Potter series next, so I did. I got into the books around the time the 6th one came out.
My friend that got me into HP books is re-reading the series right now getting ready for the book release in July.
