It was fun but...Keneth Branagh, Peter Gallagher, Kristen Davis (a female!), John Denver, ...[lots of guys after that]. I have to go down to 57% to get to Reese Witherspoon. I wasn't planing on a modeling career, but I will now have to go out and buy pink ribbons so people will know I'm a girl. *sigh*

I was saying that on general principle, though I rather lost respect for JK Rowling for selling out to the movie producers. It was... fun to watch at first, but ultimately a disappointment. I found Daniel Radcliffe's attempt at being Harry Potter painful to watch. The soundtrack was amazing though.

i disagree, daniel radcliffe is amazing!!!!!!! and i loved the harry potter movies and it stuck mostly to the storyline.

I think there is some correlation between how much you love a book, and how much you will hate the movie. I have never liked the movies of books I really love. Lord of the Rings was ok, but the books are so much better. I liked, but didn't love, the Harry Potter books, so I really don't mind the movies at all.

I don't know... even with some books that I disliked, I hated the movies worse, and with some books that I love (narnia and LotR for example), I love the movie versions as well. It really depends on how well it is made and how much respect they give to the original spirit and flow of the story.

Not that the LotR or Narnia movies were as good as the book, but they were very good nevertheless.

i think it helps me understand the books more if they make a film of it,you also get to see it in action. if that makes sense

I like both the Harry Potter movies and books, but I didn't read the books until after I'd seen the first two movies. *shrugs*

I will say that Goblet of Fire the movie was no where near as good as the book, mainly because it needed to be about two hours longer to include all the interesting plot elements.

The LotR movies were very well done. I have a few minor quibbles, but it would be hard to do a better job.

I guess if you're a visual person you get more from the movies than the books. I'm more of a... I don't know what it would be considered. I read the book and am completely immersed in it, with none of the distance or disconnection I feel when just watching it on the screen. It's like tasting a food and feeling your teeth sink into it, as opposed to just looking at a picture of it. The only thing that can really drag me into a movie completely is the music.

So true about the music! A great movie score is priceless.

That's so true! After I saw the Matrix, I went STRAIGHT to the local music store to pick up the soundtrack.
