AIBU to think that all this Harry Potter hype is

[M0naLisa]

well....ermmmmm

Boring!

All i hear is harry potter this harry potter that [condused]

So what???

whats all the hype about?

I love the books as escapist comfort reading, much like Noel Streafeild, as does DD (8) for whom they are deeply serious thrillers.

JKR is clearly a lovely person with her heart in the right place and not a cynical bone in her body. She's done great things for charity, and her insistence on keeping the films British has done wonder for the UK film industry.

And they're infinitely better written than Dan Brown.

YABU.

The books might not be exactly high literature, but they're well written enough to be entertaining. The films aren't as good as the books (very common) but if you don't like them, don't watch them

Personally I consider myself lucky to have come to the HP books when they were still being written, and therefore had all the excitement of a new one coming out.

I will cry when I go to see the last film - not only because of what happens in it, but because I'll never have another Potter film to look forward to.
