I thought the first two movies were fairly close to the books, but the third one strays a bit too much. I haven't seen the fourth one yet. I really enjoy the books, and I like the movies (although I agree the books are better) but I've never gone to the theatre to watch them. For one reason or another I never catch them while they're playing, I wait for them to come out on DVD. As an aspiring writer, I think the way J.K. Rowling weaves the details of the whole story together is fascinating. The most insignificant detail in one book turns into a major component of the next. I would love to learn how to do that!

I think people who get mad at the movies (not saying its you) are expecting way too much. Of course they are going to have to leave stuff out, otherwise the movies would be hours long. I think you should keep the books and movies separate, I know many people who love the movies but havent read the books, so there's a completely different market for the movies.

I completely understand why they have to cut things out and I really do try to keep them seperate. I just would like to see a little more of some things. I was disappointed in the Quiddich (sp?) match as I think they could have done more with that whole thing, but the movie was long enough as it was.

Same for me.I like the movies a lot but still I'd prefer books as they let us imagine in our own way.

I am the #1 Harry Potter Fan! I am excited right now because on Nov 19, Harry Potter is coming to HBO! Everyone of the movies will be on Demand and I am very excited about it. I have read almost all of the books and cant wait to see the next movie. I am sure they will just get better and better... I wish they would go on past his school years though..
