i remember when they first came out (the movies) the girl i was dating at the time wanted to go see the first one, so we went and saw it. i was pissed. i hate watching movies of books that i have read, totally ruins the book. i saw the first one and i havent seen any of them since.

i am a fan of the harry potter books though, but i think ol JK got a lot of her ideas from the Lord of the Rings. for instance, the dementors and the nazgul are pretty similar. the mirror that harrry looks in and sees his parents, there is something similar in the LOTR. i was talking about that with my sister, there are a few more examples that i cant remember at the moment.
