Anyone in Wallingford?

An Oxfordshire town has been named as the most Potter-mad place in the UK.

Wallingford tops the list for pre-orders of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, according to Amazon.

The films are good but the books are better - much more humour in them.

i started reading Goblet Of Fire simply because one of the kids bought it home, and it lead me to to believe this: Harry Potter is some of the most overrated crap i have ever read. (and the films aren't much better either.)
 

honestly: a kids film that lasts nearly 3 hours... what genius came up with that? (obviously someone who's never taken a brat to the cinema for a standard 90 minute flick.)

 

want some fantasy? read some Tolkien or Pratchett.

I've never read Harry Potter or seen the movies either.
They just don't interest me at all.

When I was a kid, one of my favourite books was The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.  i still like to read it periodically.

Old but spicey!

My favourite film is Tales of Narnia. I've seen it 4 times this year.

I love that film too, especially on the big screen.  They really did it well.
