I watched the 2 movies but have never read, or ever intend to read the books.

I\'m with Kurt. I\'ve seen the 2 movies but I\'ve never tried to read the books, and I\'m a big reader... but dunno... I think they\'re for children of sth like that.

Adults always are trying to make there kids think they are cool!  This is a GREAT book and I mean GREAT!!! If your 9-14 years old. Imagination is a powerfull thing and finally a series that makes kids use it. But as an Adult I woudlnt take the time to read it. My 7 year old and Just finished the 1st only so I could epxlpain to him what the hell a Mage was or an Orge. So whu would anybody in the mind stand in line at mindnight to by a freaking book? Can we say the world is filled with spoiled little brats!!

^^^Would you prefer they stood in line to buy the latest video game system or see the latest movie?

Personally I think waiting in line for days on end for anything is rather foolish; but if it involves kids waiting in line for books, I\'m all for it.

I could see if it was an expensive book or something(even then I don\'t know why you would call them spoiled). Parents just want to be supportive of their kids doing something besides watch Ed, Edd, and Eddy all summer.

I agree with Gohan; I think its great that its sparked many kids around the globe to turn off the tube and actually educate themselves with a book.

it seems i\'m one of the the few who tought the book and movies were boring as hell, i got the first book from a friend  read the first 30 pages  then lost all interest in it (all i did was flip thru pages after that).

Nope...not yet anyway.  Draco doesn\'t have what it takes to be another Voldimort.

Just an update...me and about 300 other people were in line last night to get the 5th book at our local Barnes and Noble.  As I expected, there was a good varying crowd..a good mix of anyone between the ages of 5-70, it was alot of fun.

Very exciting...I\'m currently 135 pages in and will probably be to 300 by the end of the day.  

I\'m LOVIN\' IT!!

Not mages or ogres...there are wizards, witches, and a troll though;)

Why do people stand in line for highly anticipated movies?  I\'m sure most of us here have done it for one film or another...it\'s the same high pitch fever for people who enjoy reading...and it\'s awesome there is such a series to draw in such a large amount of kids.

Before the 5th books\' release...over 192 million Harry Potter books have been sold worldwide.  8.5 million copies of the 5th book were pre-ordered in the U.S. alone...that\'s phenomenal.

If you\'ve seen the first 2 movies, do yourself a favor and read the 3rd book, Prisoner of Azkaban...I would be completely floored if you came back saying you didn\'t like it.

I agree.  Why bother.  I saw star wars a couple days after the losers who waited in line for over a week did.

As far as I know, no scenes were cut between when they saw the movie and when I did.
I wear a necklace now because I like to know when I\'m upside down.
