ing LOTR.
I am a huuuge fan of the books, and I really like the first three movies. While they have to chop it up some to keep a movie around two hours, they did a good job of keeping the details of first three films intact. However, I felt they did a little too much trimming on the fourth film. They definately did not do Rita Skeeter justice, they let almost everything out. :wondering

Yeah, they really took a bunch of stuff out. I wish it could be reasonable for them to do longer versions of the films for the hardcore fans. I remember whe GoF was being made and it was said that it would only be around 2 hours long, all the fans were saying that they would happily sit through a 4 or more hour film, just as long as they got intermissions
.And yeah, There wasn't enough of Rita in the film to show how horrible she is. Also, they turned Dumbledore into a raving lunatic ("HARRY! DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE?!"):blink:
Love love love Harry Potter! I can't wait for the 7th book and the 5th movie!
Have you read Sorcery and Cecelia? It's sort of like a combination of Harry Potter & Pride and Prejudice. Completely terrific.

Ooohhh! Over here too. I was totally obsessed with LOTR in college. I had the biggest crush on Faramir. My hubby thinks that I was just crazy, but now he's a fan too!
i've been reading Harry Potter for the last 5 years, and i'm a HUGE fan. i've ready the books many times and can remember every important detail :shame:. i pre-ordered the 5th and 6th books nearly half a year before they were launched because i was afraid i wouldn't be able to get them if i waited. now i'm just dying for the 7th book!
the movies are a bit of a disappointment :cry:, probably because i knew the books back to front. so many significant parts were cut out :evil:, and i'm surprised jk rowling didn't put her foot down and tell the producers which parts should be in the movies.

OMG!!! I can't believe there're so many of you who like it!!! I LOVE it and all my friends think that I'm a geek. 
I personally think the books are much better though -- and I have to confess, the 5th and 6th books... I bought in hard cover because I couldn't wait till the paper back came out.

Yeah, If I were JK Rowling, I would be totally freaking out about how much is left out of the movies. She seems to be a really easygoing person though, and she gives the moviemakers some freedom.
I still can't believe she liked the talking shrunken heads in PoA though...those things drove me nuts.
