Interesting. I was
so disappointed in the last
HP movie. Not that I'm arguing with you; we can after all have different tastes.
Actually, I think it points up a fundamental problem. I'd agree that the later
HP movies perhaps work better as movies. Movies present a very different style of story-telling from books. Movies that slavishly adhere to a book often don't work too well. When you're talking about books like
Harry Potter or
Percy Jackson, it's no small challenge to make a movie that is reasonably faithful to the book and that still stands on its own and works well as a movie.
How are your kids liking the book?
