Sueeeyqbong again :

Gosh, do you really think so? That sounds like you think this group 
should exclude any posts making references to the movies. I would 
hate that - I've had a lot of fun from reading many posts which 
reference the film, where relevant to the books. I would have missed 
Kara Baer's post if that were the case, and many others which have 
fuelled my speculation about the books.  I always thought that this 
group was first and foremost about developing our understanding of 
the books, and Kara Baer's post did that for me.
