Current Events > I've never watched or read a Harry Potter book/movie

(+) Yeah! (+)

I guess it was kinda after my time like Pokemon and I'm an old head.

That game does look pretty sweet though, and I don't mean that I a trollish way. I like GOW style combat and the Infamous style of going evil or good.

But anyway as a person in my mid 30s would I even like a Harry Potter movie? I also read a decent amount too, should I go checkout a HP book at the library? Are the books significantly better than the movies for an adult(my sister is a huge fan on Harry Potter and she's 7 years older than me but she's also an English teacher).

Anyway thanks for any advice/suggestions. Btw I've never been TOO big into fantasy like stuff like Lord of The Rings but I do like Sci Fi stuff, but as long a the story is good I don't get too hung up on the setting

Another 3 Karma alt to the ignore list.

They're good popcorn movies for the most part. If anything they manage to make a fantasy world as believable as possible. Now as an adult you probably won't love them. First few movies are a bit of a thriller/detective story trying to figure whos behind the bad stuff happening that class year.

before bed because it will make me have nightmares.

Ok thanks. So not really worth reading the long books? I try to read for the last 2 hours of the night instead of staring at a phone or monitor because it helps my insomnia, and I don't like reading disturbing things before bed because it will make me have nightmares.

....are you old enough to post here?

Depends on what you mean by disturbing.

Never read the books either, but I did enjoy a few of the movies.

First 2 HP movies feel like Home Alone movies thanks to Chris Columbus and John Williams. 3rd movie is actually a really amazing film thanks to Alfonso Cuarn and easily the best one. The 4th movie is decent, but unless you read the books there's little reason to watch the rest.

I love how these s*** posters can't help themselves but to think I'm lying about never seeing a Harry Potter movie

It's not so much having never seen a HP movie as it is having a brand new account on a board where pretty much every single brand new account is an alt of someone that wants to troll or got banned for trolling/posting offensive things.
Add that your topic is about the current hottest issue here and it's easy to see why people are reacting the way they are.

Just tell me your main

Wow you take CE pretty seriously don't you? Like I forced you to comment or something. You could just be like acab or whatever and ignore me if you don't like me.

Anyway I'm not gonna make it too easy for you. Google my user name and put 2+2 together, it really shouldn't be that hard.

Ahhhhh you're Duncanwii

The books really don't take a long time to read. Not even the ones that have a pretty high page count. They're written for children, after all.

Goblet of Fire (the fourth in the series) is really the only one where I would say the movie is vastly inferior to the book.

This is the problem with CE nowadays. People are instant to judge new accounts these days and don't give em a chance. You can never tell who's legit new or who's an alt.

As someone that was a pretty big fan of the books years ago, you're not really missing much. The movies are alright, but they're not mind blowing and as they go along (when the books start getting huge), they tend to feel a bit rushed (movie 4 on particularly.)
