be wise to combine the movie group and the main group. I never quite
understood the reason for this segregation; the Cross-Pollenization
could lead to better discussions of both the books and the movies. 

Carol responds:

I'm not so sure that's a good idea. There's lots of cross-talk (Movies
vs. books) on the Movie list already. I'd rather keep the focus of the
main group on the books, the canon established by JKR herself, rather
than their offshoot, the films, in which characters, events, and
dialogue are eliminated or altered.

We do need some sort of new discussion to bring new life to the main
group, but I don't think that combining groups is the answer.

Carol, who has a modest proposal of her own but is posting it to the
main group
