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.
