Loudly Silent: I love yuor Avatar!! Where did you get it ? I've tried to import one but I'm too techno-dumb I think (well obviously I don't think if I'm dumb. Maybe I don't tech!?) Anyway, any info would be great.
SeriousPadfoot: I totally agree that books draw the reader in; you are part of the creation; your imagination becomes not just the screen that the story is played onto, more, you become all the characters - that is if it's done well. The fact that there are so many of us HP fans out there who really care/ feel personally about the story, speaks to brillance of the world Jo's let us be a part of. I reckon Jo knows what she's done and how important we all our to her world as much as she has been to the creation of our HP world. But, we all create our own HP worlds just as the director created theirs. Lucky bastards!
Zonko: Dunno if I totally agree. I watch the films 'cause they are about Harry and I'm interested in knowing how someone else sees Harry's world. I kinda resent the fact that someone else's vision has now taken over my own. I can no longer read Harry without picturing the directors' creation; I can't remember my own. I read HArry with those characters' voices saying the lines. AND i now pronounce 'Hermione' 'properly' (which is still a REALLY bad name - at least that hasn't changed!). I know the films had to happen, but... I dunno, it's kinda like this whole globalisation thing, you kinda wished they'd leave something that's all yours, alone.
I do agree with you Zonko that the films have started me thinking about stuff that I never would have thought of by myself - another's interpretation (kinda like this site) leads to places you never would have got to on your own. For example the whole 'Lupin loved Lily> lupin is a spy thing'. Now the world would surely be a sadder place without THAT kinda brillant and original thought!! :P   ...??? And we ALL have the movies to thank for THAT!! *read with deep sarcasim*
I still WAY prefer the books - the humour and depth opf characters are the most obvious eg.'s of where the films are weak. I like the 2nd Dumb. I think he's way quirkier and nuttier than richard Harris- More nutty than Dick ! (This is by far the least rude version of this pun. I hope you realise the kind of sacrifices I am making for Ms Manners!!??)

Oh BuffyBuff, where have you gone. I definetly think the new dumbledore is nuttier than RHarris, a little too crazy.
Oh I miss this rambling kind of dialogue where nothing of any real import is said and we air all our thoughts for everyone. Now that she's gone and its 1 1/2 years later....I probably really did love her, this internet Aussy who would talk to me for hours about children and travel and Harry Potter. She couldn't pronounce Hermione's name and I found that cute. She showed me a different side to Mike Gambon that I never saw before. At least there is a Dumbledore, right? At least there was once a BuffyBuff, too. OH - whoever said that thing about how its better to've loved and lost is a real
winner in my book. As I'm reminded of all this i can see the sort of mood that must grip Tom Riddle on those lonely steps of power climbing to the top. Also - we know that Michael Gambon dies in the sixth movie.
