comforter,
Knuckles read Harry Potter series in attempt to regain full use of vocabulary after pedantry collapse. No luck, but enjoyed treatment.
Knuckles also agree that Harry Potter movies suck. In books, Harry struggle valiantly against great forces of evil, even if adult wizards miss important clues and not support Harry. Harry also take unnecessary risks because not tell adults what going on. Just like life. Verisimilitude make books more exciting.
Hollywood reduce Harry Potter to cardboard hero. In movies, anything Harry does is right. Not quite true to books.
Also, spiritism badly done in movies -- reduced to artsy-fartsiness. No actual spiritism in books -- all these creatures natural. Their world just inaccessible to humans, that all.
Comforter correct: books better than movie razzle-dazzle.
Hairy kisses,
Knuckles the Thug
