Harry potter is one of the most engrossing tales I've read or watched. I have read the whole series about 6-7 times and I own them as well. But some of the motion pictures didn't exactly do "justice" to the book. Such as the 5th and 6th books were excellent and the films failed to bring that same feeling that I received while I was reading the book. I don't know what spoiled it the acting or the bad direction. Although other than that all the films were great and I enjoyed them. And I loved the ending how they didn't celebrate Voldemort's death despite he causing them so much distress. Also how when Harry Potter broke the elder wand and his friends didn't question him why. It just shows despite how much pain the hero's in the film/book have they weren't after power nor they did want Voldemort's death. They just wanted to do what's right. That's what separates the hero's from the villain's. And believe it or not that's what I liked best about the film/book. And if you haven't read Star Wars, or Lord of the Rings I would recommend you to do so. The books and films are excellent. |
I tried to read The Lord of the Rings, but found it a really dull and slow read. I think I just about got to weathertop, which was almost 200 pages in... admitedly after that it's a quick trip to Rivendell (or it is in the films, maybe it's longer in the book) where I presume it starts to get interesting, so maybe I quit a little early... Also I think I was 13 or 14, so perhaps my age affected my interest in it somehow (though I don't think I am much more competant at reading now as then, perhaps faster, but I don't think I had any trouble with sentence structure of complicated words at 14)

The earlier parts, namely Part I, tend to feel less mythic and more real, but i find that to be one of their more endearing qualities. The Shire always felt more realistic than any of the kingdoms of Men in that series
