Dear pam

Thanks for sharing your previous experiences. I think they will prove
helpful. I disagree with you on the  Movie issue, though.

The reason why a movie only list would be a better alternative would be
because there will more than likely be people who would otherwise join
our list who simply are not interested in a mature discussion of the
books. That's why we have this list. If there are fans of the film who
want to use netspeak, let them disuss the film where they can tap in
netspeak until their hearts content. But I don't think HPfGU is the
right place for it. Also bear in mind just how much realtion the film
and the book will have to each other. No film will ever convey what we
know Harry et al feel throughout PS/SS. And that is all the film fans
will know until or unless they pick up the books. Which may not happen.
Therefore the discussion will become limited and quite frankly,
tiresome.


That is my view.
