I think the movies really ruined the books. It just cut off the point to reading the books... to use ones imagination. Damned corporate world just had to make some more money, selling out a pretty good series (a little overated). I've enjoyed all four of the books... its easy, light hearted reading. Thats the way I look at the books, that way I won't be too critical of them. I want to kick Umbridge in the face... she was sooo irritating. I also agree with Harry Potter being egocentric.
