Fucking brilliant so it was.

I thought it would be shit and boring because it had been slagged off so much, but I thought the acting from the leads was excellent and it whizzed along with great pace and excitement. Even after a couple of hours I would have been quite happy to sit and watch the final installment.

Yep, the core story is told properly despite the necessary conflation of the plot. The mood and tone are faithful to the book, IMNSHO.

I think I saw the first one many years ago. Haven´t seen another one since and have never read the books!
I´m just a delicate little flower!

I had motivation to read them. Brenda as a children's librarian and read the books for her courses. And naturally, she had to have someone to argue about them with. For that reason, but not solely that reason, I have read them all and seen all the movies. And I'm not insecure enough in my adulthood to pretend they're "beneath me." :biggrin:

Okay, OGBs, your turn.

You really think that's what's making us snooty about Harry Potter?

lol... it's just meant for kids and it kind of shows, and some of us get bored by that sort of thing. Hardly a mystery, and that's why the "book for children" argument crops up.

Far be it from me to say I'm superior because of this, 'tis simply my taste and, sure, I might bully someone a bit by tossing in a snide remark about that :biggrin: but that's how things go, I'm afraid :)

Hehe, I´ve heard they are quite entertaining so I wouldn´t mind reading them. I just haven´t had the opportuninty yet (so many things I want to read etc.) :dunno:

I said nothing about "snooty". This is not the only forum I'm on where HP is being discussed, and the OGBs come out of the woodwork at the mention of Harry.

Weird to think that after another 145 minutes or so of film there will be no more Harry pending. Books done. Movies done. And slim fuckin' chance for a reality TV show. :funny:

I have no time for books and a long list I want to read. Anything my sister gushes about is barred from the list for all eternity, that includes Harry Potter and Twilight.
Men! They're all beasts!
Yeah. But isn't it wonderful?
