It's about as influential as Star Wars, which I guess depends on how influential you think SW is.

I stopped reading the books because they were too geared toward children, but everyone keeps telling me that changes as the books progress. If so, I may, at some point, begin again and read all of them back-to-back, then watch the movies.
They do get more mature, but not incredibly so. People start dying, though.

I figure it's fair. I mean, the universe has to make up for you being you sometimes, right?

Sorry, I can't hear you over everyone in the theater talking before the film.

Yeah, but unfortunately it just comes off as being really out of nowhere.

I am sooooo over HP. I'll probably wait a week for the fan-storm to blow over, or wait 'till dvd.

I'm thinking you'd be really, really, really confused. It might be a bit like surrealist art.

But the 7th book relies so heavily on the 6th, it would be pretty impossible.

You ought to read or watch them just for their cultural relevance.

That seems a bit early to say - wait till twenty years have passed, then check again. *NM*

Fair enough, but I think we're already seeing its influence on children's literature. *NM*

I'm glad it's 2 films, but the total run time could be 4 hours instead of 5 hours *NM*

i guess even with severe editing one film would have ran for 4 hours

it wasn't characterisation, it was horribly awkward and clumsily crowbarred in

*shrug* I liked the scene. It was something lighthearted in the middle of a lot of bleakness
