> Steve now,
 
> As to this holier than thou thing that Harry Potter book fans 
think, think mind you that they have over the movie goers the phrase 
fits perfectly. There are countless examples of where you have no 
advantage in reading the books prior to seeing the movies. The 
Godfather, Gone with the Wind, The Sound of Music, The Bourne 
Trilogy, etc,etc,etc. While you may love your precious books the 
movies are outstanding and I would venture to say you get as much of 
the storyline as from the books just in a different medium.


Potioncat:
I don't know, Steve, I've read a lot of posts that point out movies 
that are better than the books they were founded on.

Speaking of the movies. One of my favorite scenes in SS/PS is the 
Troll battle in the girls' restroom. 

"Troll bogies! yech."
