Originally posted by MistaMista Tom Hagen: I actually happened to be discussing this with my family earlier tonight, and I voiced the opinion that the 4th book was a great read, one of the more enjoyable fiction novels I've ever read (which is actually not saying much), and probably the only one of the series which I could actually see myself re-reading.
And then there's the movie, which I considered the worst film I'd seen last year. There's really just no way you can pack that huge book into one, normal length movie, and so my vote definitely goes for the books.
I couldn't agree more (especially about the movie). It should have been split in 2 a la the Kill Bills. As for the books, I'd rank them:
1) The Goblet of Fire 2) The Prisoner of Azkaban 3) The Sorcerer's Stone 4) The Order of the Phoenix 5) The Chamber of Secrets
