I don't think that most movies can do their book counter parts any real justice. For the reason I didn't even watch any more than the glimpses I got off from flipping through my stolen HBO.

Except for Jurassic park, I was ALL about Jurassic park.

I'll have to agree with Dao on this one because I am living proof that the Harry Potter series encourages children to read. I was never a big fan of reading when I was younger but when my 8th grade teacher suggested that we read the books (along with my parents' and brother's persistent tries to make reading a habit instead of a chore), I decided to give the first book a shot. I was hooked, I ended up making short order of the first three books while I impatiently waited for the fourth book to hit the shelves.

While inbetween the releases of the Potter books, I started picking up other titles that had that same sort of magic (pun intended) about them. I had developed a taste (with my brother's help) for the fantasy genre, with perhaps a little sci-fi sprinkled in.

Because of the Harry Potter books, I am now a strong advocate for reading. Not only does it expand upon your vocabulary and provide you with ways of expressing yourself that you would have never known had you not picked up a book before, it also kills time. I travel a lot using public transportation (not out of choice, but out of necessity) for hours at a time and reading a book to pass the time sure beats just sitting there and listening to music.

As for those who base the Harry Potter series solely on the movies, I have some insight for you: the movies plain suck. They leave so much out that it would be difficult to get more than a vague idea as to what's going on without having first read the books.
