somewhat  in the way Jackson did LOTR.  sure, those weren't perfect  for
everything, but in general, he did a wonderful job because he wanted  to
honor Tolkien's work.  Maybe, someday, someone will feel like that  about the
Potter books and we might get some truly fine movies.  POA  movie was so
disappointing to me, and I actually fell asleep during the  DVD!  I think
I'll skip GOF so as not to feel so  disappointed.

You know JKR might still be alive in the 30 years or so you're  looking
toward, and she might have something to say about whether the movies
are remade again. Just noting that fact, as she's expressed  satisfaction 
with the current movies and actors. We all have a right to like or  not
like how the movies have turned out, but it's not really our opinion  that
matters so much as JKR's, at least during her lifetime. 
 
That said, whether they are ever remade (and probably will be at some
point), I still like the experience of seeing places and characters  realized
on the screen, even if I like some of the realizations better than  others.
I'm going full tilt and seeing it on IMAX--got the tickets already! I  hope
I'm not too overwhelmed by the special effects, especially during the 
graveyard scene :-0
