The remake? Haven't seen it so can't say objectively but my friend saw it and hated it and it got appalling reviews, so much so that I decided to give it a miss.

My brother saw it, he said that it was pretty much crap.

RE: Movies
So, OK ... I've been reading (for the first time ever), J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter books, I started 2 weeks ago and I've just finished book 5. At the same time I have started to rewatch the movies and I thought that they wouldn't be as good as the first time I saw them but they really, really are ... in fact, having read the first 5 books and the first 2 movies, I have to say they're actually better, allowing for the limitations of film over books they have done a truly remarkable job transferring the stories to film (Jason Isaacs was awesome as Lucius Malfoy).

I'm looking forward to seeing HP & The Prisoner of Azkaban and, once I've watched all 5 we have on DVD (and hopefully by then having read all the books), I am very much looking forward to seeing HP & The Half-Blood Prince"

RE: Movies
The films are a lot worse then the books. Also I stopped reading HP after the 4th book, which were a very long time ago. Think I perahaps where 12 or something.

Quite many books. Many pages too. My brother did read them all and see some of the movies. BUt as me he also thought they where bad. The later books where also not nearly as good as the first ones he said.

Actually I think the later books are mind-blowing and totally addictive ... granted I haven't read "Deathly Halllows" yet. I'm loving them and now it looks like Snape is actually a double agent for Voldemort it's looking like it's going to be better still.

I am sooo going to see the film.

Everyone have their own taste, some like it some don't.

The last book atleast wouldn't been that good what I've heared. The others before that is probably ok, I can't say I haven't read any beyong the 4th one.
