haha this book/series is the reason i now browse the 'young adults' book section as well nowadays. Even found some other good titles as well.

And what's the problem even if it's childish? We are all children/young once and i doubt ppl forget that xD

Because a great read is still a great read tongue.gif

The biggest problem with the movies is that there is no real flow to the narrative and that they are merely a montage of 'best of' scenes.

Also, since the first movies were directed by Chris Colombus who was pretty well known for working with children and family orientated comedies. So basically in the first 2 movies where you had Harry Potter and gang mimicking Macaulay Caulkin from the home alone movies.

While the movies do get progressively darker, in line with the books, they are limited by the cast who were selected based on their cuteness in the first movie.

I find the first 2 movies much more enjoyable than the others, though they are still a little bit too short and too fast.

This is so true!
Not to mention that Harry Potter book get thicker with every new book...
The movies on the other hand, won't be able to extend their scene....
So its a totally different experience... sweat.gif
