Can't help it. I really like the movies. There is something very appealing about the assemble cast, the fact they've stayed together for most of the films. I like the friendship angle between Hermoine, Ron and Harry. And the visuals are excellent. It has its flaws, but it's very good fantasy, IMO. I like the <em>Narnia</em> pictures, too. As for the books. I never read much children's literature when I was young. Read mostly classic mythology instead. But going back as an adult to read some has been interesting. I especially like the Philip Pullman <em>His Dark Materials</em> series, and really liked the first movie. I hope they complete the series, but there seems to be a holdup of some sort.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('523','Cuchulain'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('523','Cuchulain','Hey, John.
