Love the books, hate the films. Most films made out of good books suck, and sucky books make good films. The irony.

I didn't read any books or see any of the movies until after "Order of the Phoenix" came out. I finally couldn't resist, as I was hearing that adults were enjoying the books and they love how their kids were eating them up.
I'm a huge fan. I do like the books better, but films are a different medium and can't really do a book justice. My favorite book and movie is "Prisoner of Azkaban".
I found HP quite late - think it was when there was all the hysteria on the news about the new book coming out then I wondered what this Harry Potter was that everyone was going mad for - think it was about the 4th one. I went to the library and borrowed them. I enjoyed the books quite a lot and was surprised how much they cut out for the films. I enjoy the films if I can seperate them from the books (otherwise it's just annoying how much they did chop) Looking forward to seeing how they turn the last two books into the films.
Twilight is now getting the same critisism about the writing but I thoroughly enjoyed the first one and can't wait to see the film and read the rest of the books. Personally I can't stand book snobs! Read what you like and be done with - let the rest of us do the same
