Harry Potter

Well, I'm finally breaking down and reading the Harry Potter books. Seems like everyone I know has read them. My wife and her sister are obsessed with them. And with the recent movie craze about them, I figure, might as well... right?

So, I'm starting off with the first book. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I must admit when I first saw the movie I thought it was pretty good. And the second movie was even better I thought. However, the third movie... was somewhat dissapointing. I really think the director messed things up when he did it. My wife and her sister both thought it wasn't that good at all either, they complained that ALOT was left out, alot of important stuff (for the future books and all). But since I haven't read the books I can't speak on that, but I did notice that the movie moved really fast and didn't really develop any characters, no more than what the previous 2 had... just introduced more characters without much of a history or their own development. We'll wait and see how the forth movie handles this.
