I'm now up to speed on all the movies. The first ones were pretty solid and enjoyable much to my surprise. The fifth one was by far the worst in the series. I don't know if I will ever get around to reading the books since I have a stack of baseball books on my nightstand which have been neglected as it is since I am up so late most nights writing. Then again, I am a little curious to at least read the first once since I spent about 16 hours over the last couple days watching the movies. All of that merits yet another ... Damn you Harry Potter. This site will be returning to its regularly scheduled baseball content shortly ... Mike,
Hope you’re bouncing back from your bout with the flu! I’m now up to speed on all the movies. The first ones were pretty solid and enjoyable much to my surprise.

I worked in a bookstore for more than three years, and I'll admit to being a bit of a snob, book-wise. My eyes nearly rolled out of my head when a gentleman ordered 15 different James Patterson hardcover titles...to use as decoration for a cabinet he was installing in his home. I missed the Da Vinci code craze, but caught the last Harry Potter book's release as well as all the Twilight hullabaloo. So I get it. I've read the first Harry Potter book because I lost a bet with a die-hard fan and it was innocuous enough. But I can't not watch the movies. Being laid up with the flu all weekend, I was too busy watching my Jayhawks get schooled to catch the early films, but saw the 4th and 5th (for the second time in both cases) and enjoyed them. It bothers me. Damn you Harry Potter. And you as well Yuniesky Betancourt.

Maybe not the first two since they follow the books pretty well, but don't blame the series if you don't like the movies. If you DO like the movies, though, you'd like the books; just sayin I didn't read the rest of the post/links because I don't like baseball anymore (I was a Pirates fan) :/ Yes, agree that the books are MUCH better than the movies… Maybe not the first two since they follow the books pretty well, but don’t blame the series if you don’t like the movies.
