Movie Talk

I just try to see them as two separate things, because the film and the book are so different in so many places (like where was Peeves?! He could have been such a great humour factor but he was just missed out entirely in so many places where he would have been great) that it's easier to just enjoy them as two different series. I think it must be hard to follow the story if you haven't read the books, though, because the films are very fast-paced and don't really explain things a lot. At least if you know the books well, you can say "well that was stupid, they missed out such and such a thing" but if you don't, you will just be confused!
