I agree.

I've always thought the books were much better than the movies, and I've never really thought the movies were that great (except for Deathly Hallows part 1, which I actually enjoyed a lot). I can see why people think they are great, but in my mind people who only see the films and don't read the books miss out on a whole lot.

But yeah, the movie was good, but not anything special. I'm sure if I hadn't read the book I'd think otherwise.
