    I enjoyed the books, and will sometimes read through them again from time to time, but other than that, I am not what one would consider a fanatic. I like them, as they are fun to read, but I don't much care for the movies, the extrenous stuff concerning that of Harry Potter and his magical world, and any other hype/merchandise/etc...

    So, kind of, but not entirely...

    Discussion of books goes in the Lounge!

    And I'm a fan, yeah, although I haven't read a Harry Potter book in sometime now. I've liked each and every one, though. The way Rowling writes is just...well, I usually can't ever bring myself to read hundreds of pages a day, but I can read that much of Harry Potter. So exciting.

    Yay, more HP discussion.

    I like the books, and I adore the way Rowling writes, but I only read the books once as they come out. When they are released, I buy them and spend any and all of my free time reading them until I finish them. (Usually 100s of pages, like kikimm said, I'm hardly motivated to do that with normal books.) I think the entire story she's written is very well-done, and I can't wait to see what happens in the seventh and final book in the series. (There's quite a bit of speculation regarding that, and I think there was a thread on it a long time ago...)

    Either way, I definitely want to know what happens next.

    Sure, I love Harry Potter! I'm super excited to see what comes next. I predict Harry's death myself...but nobody ever wants my morbid death predictions for some reason!

    I love the books but the movies... Goblet of Fire was just crap. I mean I expected some things to be left out to cut down on the longevity, like they did in the other movies, but they practially changed the entire plot! Dobby was supposed to give Harry the gillyweed, not Mad-Eye (Crouch), the skrewts were completely left out and the maze was just completely screwed up. Did they have the spinx? No. Did they have the Acromantula? No. What did they have? A freaking wind!!! Who the hell is scared of a wind!?!

    I pray to god that they don't stuff up Order of the Phoenix because that ones my favourite book so far.

    You are aware that all of those things that you mentioned they left out were meaningless to the core plot, right? Just let them make the movies - it's a very hard task to do, and you cannot simply rehash the book and expect it to be successful (see the first two movies - pieces of trash because they were identical to the books, scene by scene).

    I am an HP fan, however, I do not to much other than read/study the books and see the movies. As far as reading and studying the books, I find myself to be particularly good. I am anxious for next July 13th for OOTP, and then whatever time next year Book 7 comes out.

    I like the books enough (Goblet of Fire is the best) but the films don't really do it for me. Daniel Radcliffe acted terribly in the first two films, he wasn't particularly good in the third, and he was ALRIGHT in the fourth. The fourth film is the only one that's really watchable in my opinion. Emma Watson royally pisses me off, but I like Rupert Grint.

    Harry Potter isn't the same since she killed two of my favourite characters.

    Other than the fact that these Satanic books are tainting the children of today and turning them into devil worshippers and they're all going to kill us in our sleep and sacrifice our animals to Satan because of these books
    I THINK THEY'RE OKAY.
