Well, it was all our preacher's fault...he gave Art and me Sorcerer's Stone
for Christmas in 1999.  This was a really good diversion for two people who
ended up very sick with flu and respiratory infections.  Art and I inhaled
that taped book in three days and I ordered the next two from Amazon in Feb
of 2000.

Then we were at the local B&N for the Midnight GOF release, have so far very
much enjoyed the movies, and the rest is history.

I have yet to see POA; I know there are going to be differences, and I'm
sure there are a lot of things I'd want to see done or redone.  As it is,
Art and I have talked about how neat it would have been to see the HP stuff
done as TV mini-series so the whole story could be told. <Sigh> We can
dream, can't we??? :-)

Look, I have yet to see a movie made from a book that is truly perfect.
Some may be a bit more true than others, but there are always liberties
taken.  So, my intent is to view the movies as just that...movies.  The
truth, to me, is in the books which I love dearly.

And I'm awfully glad I found this list! :-)

Cheers,

Lee :-)

but simple pattern for a Hogwarts robe.) :-)

P.S.--any seamstresses, write me off list.
