| Harry Potter OH MY! SO Ok July 13th Craigb and I went to see the 5th Harry Potter movie. FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC! I'm an avid reader of the books. Though I've found the previous movies to be trite. The most recent was very well done. It took very few silver screen sacrifices. And the cast as usual is fantastic. July 21st Heralded the final book in the series. I got mine at 12 after midnight. Following my return home I promptly read the firs three chapters. Continued reading it till I finished at 5pm-ish this most recent Sunday last. Emotionally gripping. Dramatically engrossing. I can honestly not a single bit of the book dissappointed me. Both worth a watch and/or a read in my book. Can't wait till they make the last two movies. YWS

| I thought movie #5 was O.K. at best. I'm a big fan of the books and the movies lose SO MUCH. This movie had it's moments but it was slow starting. The ending was pretty good but again so much was left out for the sake of making it to a movie. I will agree the final HP book is great reading. JKR will definitely not ever want for anything again in her life....$$$

| Too bad for those poor, unfortunate souls (about 100) that bought the book with 33 pages missing!! There's always gotta be a controversy somewhere.

| ha.. i've never picked up a HP book before... Until Saturday at Target in Garden... I had to open it up just to read the last page, and see for myself. While the whole HP series doesn't exactly interest me.. All the damn hype did. I wonder how much of that 'leaking' was purposely done for the sake of getting extra free press over it.
