Funny parts and HP Movies

[bbkkyy55]

My favorite funny part is in COS when the trio visit Hagrid, and 
Hagrid starts teasing Harry about not giving him an autograph.  Then 
mentions that Ginny would probably want one too.  That part makes me 
chuckle every time.

Regarding the movies.  I saw Movie 1 and 2 before I read the books.  
When I finally read the books I was, of course, more impressed.  
That's how I became an avid fan.  IMO the ideal is to see the movie 
first, then get the REAL thing by reading the book.  Of course you 
can't do that when your pacing the floor waiting for the next book to 
come out.  Sigh.  

I have to convince myself that the movie is the movie and the BOOK is 
the BOOK.  They may have the same title, but otherwise they will be 
different.  If I don't expect a lot maybe I won't be dissapointed.

If I see the movie several times, I can get used to their 
interpretations.  I saw Movie 3 of LOTR 8 times in the theaters.  
Everyone I know thinks I'm a total nut.  Of course, the book was and 
is a whole lot better.
