I just borrowed the first two HP books from Kristen, as Z has sparked my interest in actually reading them. My philosophy on books is usually "don't read 'em", but since the movies are so kickass I believe I'll actually try this one. It's been so long since I actually picked up a series that just the idea is making me feel great. Hope it lasts.
Here's my standpoint on the HP books/movies debate. The movies are rock solid, the books are rock solid. Two different mediums but they both work. People that read the books say that the movies disappoint because stuff is left out, so I say that people who watch the movies FIRST and then read the books have the advantage. This way you can enjoy the remarkable story without thinking or hesitation, and then have the added joy of exploring the fleshed-out adventures contained within the books. My idea is to read the books so slowly that by the time I get to book seven, I'll have already watched the final movie. Thanks to my naturally slow pace (10 pages a day), I'll have time to spare.

2nd book I didn't like so much, then the movie came out and was much better. This whole potter thing is more prompting me to try and get back into the roahl dahl books I dug as a kid. Feels like spite...but I like potter. Whatever. SPITE AND MALICE>>>

I totally agree with you as the experience of reading the third book before watching the third movie took away all the enjoyment of watching the movie. I will not stand for that! I've made a solemn vow not to read another Harry Potter book before seeing its corresponding movie. And I need to watch the third movie again, because I'm sure it's good.

Prisoner of Azkaban was amazing! My only regret is that they left out any DVD-extras explaining Harry's dad and his connection with the other 3 shape-shifters. Other than that, it was a stupendous film.
