I know what you mean, I was very strong on some one who tried to tell me they were huge HP fans and they only had seen the movies, I was like their is no way you are not a huge fan if you have not read the books, You can not get a full enough understanding with out them, I was talking to my sis and she just started to read book one and she calls me up asking me to explain peeves and other things ALLL DAY, it confused her to work backwards. sh was like WOW why did they not put that in the movie ect ect, I can only imagine what it will be like for book 3 <_<
