I'd never let a movie ruin a book for me.  It's one person's take on the 
book.

I find the books extremely funny.  I think JKR writes wonderful jokes.  Way 
funnier than say Drawn Together (comedy central) yeah it's not Chappelle 
Show but it makes me laugh.

Everyone has a different sense of humour..

I didn't care that much for the first two movies but it didn't ruin the 
books for me.
There is only so many ingredients one can put in a burrito before it won't 
close...hence all those details that are excluded.

LOTR, believe it or not left out details and changed what major characters 
did (for example Liv Tyler showing up in the first book/movie) and the 
changes..added things to the love story (I know some of them are from other 
Tolken stories but still).

I love the story with the Sheild Maiden getting together with the brother in 
the end of the last book..but it's not in the film...there was just not 
enough room.
God knows those movies are already sooo freakin long.

These directors have to pick and choose what works for the story they are 
telling...for film not for the page.  Just cause it works visually in your 
mind doesn't mean it does on film..

I am quite happy they finally got a brit to direct..it makes sense.  We will 
see.
