Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - - (Spoiler zone)

[Alex]

If I have ever given any sense that I am condemming the books because of the movies I apologize. I have no opinion on the books at all.

I don't generally care for juvenile literature so I'm not much interested (whereas I do generally enjoy juvenile movies) in reading them and the movies through their lack of charisma have done nothing to change my mind.

So while I have no expectation that the Harry Potter books are something I would enjoy, I'm completely willing to work on the assumption that the books are good while the movies are bad.

Steve, trust me, I gave up on the Harry Potter movies after the third one (I liked the first one, was bored by the second and the third confirmed which opinion I should go with). However, Lani wanted to see it and since most of the time it is me dragging her to movies we have an open agreement that I will go along without complaint whenever she actually says "I would like to see X." So, I have no desire to see the next movie, but if Lani again says she wants to, I'll be there. Hopefully whoever is directing/writing that one will give some priority to making a movie rather than just annotating a book.
