I watched the trilogy showing of these movies on Family channel this weekend. This caused me to wonder how many movies are there. Plus the last one they showed Globlet of Fire, that was darn scarey, hard for me to believe that was okay for kids! It also seemed to end on a downer, which was sad, I had always been happy at the end of these movies, but not that one, LOL.

So are there more I need to see, I can't remember the last book I read, I thought I had done the first 3-4 books, but I don't remember them being that dark.

Also there are 7 books total in the series. I just saw Order of the Phoenix last night. Good movie. I loved the fighting scenes at the end.

Thanks guys, I must have stopped reading at 3, lol. I have them all but got side tracked. Have all the books been turned into movies? Even as I was watching I kept wondering who they could possibly cast as dumbledor now.

Not yet Dipo but the new Dumbledor took over in Book 3s movie. Can't remember his name though. I think they're filming Book 6 or already filmed it.

The guy that took over the Dumbledore role is: Michael GambonMichael Gambon and I gotta be honest... I adored Richard Harris but I like Gambon in this role a bit more. Harris always seemed a bit frail for Dumbledore IMHO.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (book #6) is done filming and will be hitting theatres late this fall (Nov. 21). Book #7 (Deathly Hallows) is in preproduction, the rumour is that it will a two-part film release: part 1 in 2010 and part 2 in 2011.

I watched those Harry Potter movies on ABC family all weekend, Dipo. Over and over. It was a little obsessive. But when a Harry Potter movie is on, I never want to watch anything else.

I haven't read the books and probably won't because I don't have the patience for reading that I once did.

Looking forward to Order of the Phoenix coming to ABC Family cable, lol.

Nyheat - give the books a try! I waited until the 7th one came out and then started reading...finished all 7 in five months...had a very difficult time putting them down,

watched the marathon of movies over the weekend also - now watching the 5th one with DD who loves Harry Potter!

Nyheat - I've not read any of the books after book 2, but I've listened to all of them! Jim Dale is a FANTASTIC narrator, and I enjoy the storylines - as long as I'm trapped in a car or doing exercise! LOL

Or find a child to read them to. My son was a good age when the first 3 books were all out. (at least that's when I noticed them) Got all three for Christmas. Bought the 4th book the day it came out...and took it on our camping holiday that year ( a week later) Every afternoon of our vacation..DS and my nephew sat in the shade of the trees while I read out loud to them. Finished the book in the first week. ( I read for almost an hour everyday)

They loved it, and so did I...other campers came by to listen too...It's such a nice memory now...that DS is living on the other side of the country, and nephew is away at McMasters.

It looks great. I'm a little surprised they didn't show more action scenes in the trailer, since action seems to drive Hollywood these days. Great atmosphere and very spooky. Almost more of a horror story feel to it.

I gotta wonder -- did they wait to see the fan reaction to the trailer before they made up their minds!!!

I'm not a happy camper -- release in November -- the economy and die hard fans need it!!!

My 16 yr old is convinced that they made this move to avoid going head to head with the Twilight movie and it had nothing to do with rescheduling after the writer's strike as was claimed. Not sure how accurate this is since there was supposed to be 3 wks between the two.

LOL Looks like my dd could have been right, both blockbusters blinked. HP moved to summer 2009, Twilight was supposed to be on the same day but moved itself up to Nov. 21st. It's so hard finding good movies that a whole family that see together.... bummer that it will be another 8 months past expectation.

The Harry Potter series is an interesting phenomoenon. When the series first came out the kids that started reading it were mostly young. As the books came out, the storylines got more adult and darker, as the kids got older and more able to understand the darker sides of a story. It is hard to recreate that scenerio now because the books are all out, but it really worked for the first group of kids who read the books. The kids sort of grew with the books so to speak.

When you consider the series as a whole, it is almost like one giant novel. Starts off lighthearted, gets more complicated, the characters go through bad (dark) times, the climax arrives and then characters emerge to the ending. I won't say how it ends because some of you may not have read them all and I would not want to ruin it for you.

Some people are disturbed by the way the series got darker, but it does not seem to bother the kids. As one eight year old kid said about the magic in the story, when a lot of grownups were freaking out about it, "Grownups just don't get it. It's just a story." I thought that was so mature and it fits with the dark side of the series as well.

Death in a children's book is always a touchy subject, but it is nothing new. How many of us cried in Old Yeller? Writers, even of children's books know that death is part of life. amd stramgely enough, it is somehing that kids seem to instinctly understand.
