I'm so sorry, but I have read them.<br /><br /><b>Uncle Joe,</b> Note that I used the term "extremist". I don't even have problems with fundamentalists, usually. But I use the word extremist as in "Muslim extremist". This is someone who uses Christianity as a club. <br /><br />And certainly you can dislike Harry Potter for other reasons - but this is Sonosaur's father's reason for hating Harry Potter. Some people don't like the author's writing style which, at the beginning at least, is very puerile.Saur♥Krauthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01160101729455178399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687945.post-58420796989556801952009-07-27T19:06:59.951-04:002009-07-27T19:06:59.951-04:00I have to say that I didn't enjoy this latest ...I have to say that I didn't enjoy this latest Potter movie as much as the others, which I loved. I agree that Radcliffe has proven himself not much of an actor. I guess the bleakness of the movie really turned me off.

I have no idea which books were made into movies - but if the movie is based on the last book then that is it. <br /><br />I would retire too. How many billions do you need?

I understand the actors are getting too old to play the parts, but I can't believe the movie company will let the opportunity go. <br /><br />This series is a money-maker for sure, and there are at least 2 more movies that could be made out of this. If this is truly the last movie, the Harry Potter series is going out with a whimper, not a bang.<br /><br />I find it odd that some religious zealots cannot tell the difference between fantasy and reality. And before someone quickly points out that anyone who believes the Bible MUST believe in fantasy or be a childlike idiot, I beg to differ.<br /><br />But I do believe that most people are not very bright, and many people (on both sides) are threatened by ideas that make them uncomfortable in some way.<br /><br /><b>Ed,</b> Why you elitist snob, you. ;o)<br /><br /><b>Angela,</b> Some people enjoy it, some don't.

I find them entertaining and imaginative, and I wish I had written them (I could REALLY use the money ). AS for Damiel Radcliffe, there are two movies to go, and he has already made enough money that depression is unlikely to be a factor.

The actor that plays Harry might have just been depressed for the shoot. <br /><br />Now he has to look for a real job. Hell I would be depressed too. <br /><br />As for the fundies, they make me laugh. I asked one who was going on and on and on about how Harry Potter is evil and of the devil and all that crap if they thought there was really such a thing as wizards, magic, potions, and if it was possible to fly around on a broom. <br /><br />Yes. <br /><br />I could not contain myself. I laughed then said "well if you believe all that crap, I can see why would would believe anything - including what stone age men on the TV say".The Lazy Iguanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12826083852416577162noreply@blogger.com
