well im glad to see there are hp fans on this board. I too feel that the books are better than the movies, have you ever seen a movie that was better than the book that preceeded(is this even a word?) it. THe third movie was by far the best, the visual style that cuaron brought to the series was great. I dont know who is doin the fourth movie, but it seems as though it will follow suit and be the best thus far as each movie was better than the one before it. Anybody goin to the midnight sale in a month for the 6th book?
