Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix came out yesterday, and I'm going to see it this weekend!! Hooray! I am currently reading book six in preparation for book seven's delivery to my doorstep in a few weeks. Here's the extra nerdy part: when I see people display their HP love, I feel a kinship with them. I've been known to smile at people on the highway with HP bumper stickers, my favorite being Republicans for Voldemort. I also tend to be a snob about the "bandwagoners". If they started reading the books AFTER the movies came out as part of the mania, they're not real fans, and worse yet it they only like the movies and dare call themselves Harry Potter fans, it is truly unacceptable!! The characters are so much richer in the books, and so many details and funny/sad/telling parts of the tales are missing from the films it is sad that you are missing out. On the whole, the movies are great adaptations (lets not talk about The Prisoner of Azkaban) but are just that, adaptations. I need help.

Hey! I started reading the books after the movies came out...but not BECAUSE of the movies - because you forced me to do it. For this I thank you, but I feel that it should give me a reprive from your hatred.
Yes, but you didn't read them because you thought the movie was "neat" so you are exempt. Also, I remember that you saw the movies after reading the book? Which also puts you in the good.
