yeah, they're good books. well, I didn't like Sourcerer's Stone (the book or the movie), but I've enjoyed the rest of them and look forward to the next one. as far as the movies go, well both directors have their problems, but both in different areas. I must say the decision to make GoF 1 movie instead of 2 is stupid. PoA was chopped to shreads enough. I don't think I want to see how much they have to cut out of GoF.

I'm going nuts! I am a big Harry Potter fan. Whenever I'm not here, I'm probably on Mugglenet. I'm finally reading the WWP Ultimate Unoffcial guide to the mysteries of harry Potter. I've read teh Fifth one, but never this one. I'm aslo reading the fifth book again (for the 8th time) before HBP comes out.

Yes...I'm kinda nuts...

Woot for HP, but I'm not an uber fan or anything. I just know a few things from back when I was excited for five to come out. I can't wait for this one, but I'm too busy to go nutso for books.

I haven't read the books in about a year. I'll probably start reading em again. The only reason I stopped was because I started say "expiraliummis" whenever I wanted to zap something.

People think I look like Harry Potter too. I have a scar on my forehead (Regular kind) and have very messy hair that never lies flat...

You do look like Harry Potter, but I don't think that's a "bring on the women" worthy thing...lol especially when "Harry Potter" goes to OFW and plays DDR with rolling shoes and a plastic sword...:)

I've seen the trailer. I've also seen the leaked script. all I can say is its not how I would have written it. what I read looked okay, but it lacked emotional build up. then again, a lot could happen from the version of the script that leak came from to the final edit.

yes, that's right. Hermione, Ron, and even Harry himself, all of your favorite characters cut out of half their scenes in an effort to turn a massive literary work into a 2 hour movie.

damn, I'm being really cynical in this thread. I need to cut that out.

I read all of Sorcerer's Stone last night and got about 3/4 through Chamber of Secrets today (I'm up to the Valentine's Day thing). So far I'm liking this series quite a bit.

just wait until PoA. its a huge improvement over the first 2 books, in my opinion.

Just finished CoS a couple minutes ago. I can't believe it took me so long to actually decide to read these. I'll start (and probably finish) PoA tomorrow.
