HIya

just wanted to introduce myself and comment on some of the messages. I'm
MissNorbert(allthough I'm called Inge aswell) age 28 from the netherlands,
who only just got into the books thanks to a lovely collegue who said they
where great and I agreed. I've only just read book 4 and it's my fave sofar.
I got it from the library, but next week GoF will come out in paperback so
I'm going to get that. I've also enrolled myself in Virtual Hogwarts on
HPgalleries and wonder what it will be like.

About the film, I do read quite a few books and sometimes see the film. It
also happens the other way around, that I've become so interested in the
film that I want to read the book aswell. Because of that, I think I can
safely say according to some other films, the HP films are indeed very close
to the book, if you want to see something different read and watch Forrest
Gump for instance, though I liked them both. Sometimes things in books are
hard to film, and somethings just wouldn't look as good on film, so it's
necessary sometimes to change it. I know this thing also happened with the
Diary of Bridget Jones(with the perhaps Lockhart playing Hugh Grant),
allthough I didn't read the book some people I know did, and loved the film
aswell as the book.

I would also like to say I also like it that there will be english actors
playing, and that it will be an english film. Not that all american films
are bad(btw that guy from Starship Troopers is called Verhoeven and I can't
comment on it because I havent' read the book), but I still remember Pippi
Longstocking, and laugh if you wanna but I grew up with the origional lovely
swedish films, and the american version was just awful, artificial comes to
mind.

bye!

MissNorbert
