and what do you mean "what do they think of..."? in what sense? books or films? literary merit? appropriateness for frum children? harry himself as a character?

I also love the harry potter books. own all six and hubby thinks I'm out of my mind Tongue Out

Harry Potter must be destroyed forever as he is a threat to the one true master.

Just my 2 cents.

You're not missing anything! A while ago I saw one of the movies and it was nowhere near as good as the book. I just kept watching out of curiousity to see how they would portray different things. (Also there wasn't anything really better to do - it was on a plane.)

I'm curious wether the books stayed clean once Harry became more mature?

waiting with bated breath and terror for next volume to see exactly that. he's definitely discovered girls, and is becoming more aware and active with each volume, so I'm concerned about where this is leading. so far it's clean unless you consider kissing to be dirty. then again, there's some british slang that means nothing to me but could be who-knows-what in britspeak.

have u read books 5 & 6? involves a bit of romance! but kissing is as far as it gets thank goodness!

thats one of the clever things about how shes written the books (not the kissing parts!), the books mature as harry does and I must say that they are mostly clean reading.

wots ur opinion of snape now? Scratching Head

Thanks so much, Mandy. That diary cracked me up LOL

Did you say the 4th is coming out on dvd soon? I watched the 1st 3. They weren't true to the books Mad

but were interesting none the less.
HP books are clean and I wouldn't mind my children reading them (I"YH) while growing up to learn english (I live in E"Y and know too many americans whose kids can't say one decent sentence in eng with no hebrew).

I hope someone like Neville or Loony kills Snape Twisted Evil

and fast. He gets on my nerves so bad.

When is the 7th supposed to come out?

I think shes biding her time in bringing out no 7, she enjoys the publicity. I dont think its due out till 2007 Crying
