My forum of choice before joining Af.org was Chamber of Secrets (cosforums.com); I wasted many an hour discussing HP there until it closed.
It was over moderated, though, and all the interesting discussions were banned (anything to do with Snape versus the Marauders/James) because the posters would get so rabidly out of line defending their favorite character and couldn't have a reasoned, calm discussion about it. The mods were major sticklers for keeping the forum "nice and friendly", so, needless to say, there were a lot of warnings given, a lot of "friendliness" policing, and I was banned three or four times.
FYI, I was sorted into Ravenclaw on Pottermore, then promptly lost interest. My Mormon penpal (who has joined AF.org) was sorted into Slytherin, which, upon reflection (and Pottermore's descriptions of Slytherins), totally makes sense. :p

The film are shitty. The first two are cute and reasonable close to the books - I slept through both; the third was the most creative, though a lot was cut in terms of Harry's motivations and was the movie that got me to read the books; the rest of them are total shit.
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
