I haven't read a Harry Potter book since THE DEATHLY HALLOWS came out 7 years ago (and that's too long). I'd been wanting to do it for about a year or so but never found the time. I've recently had the urge and have put everything else on hold. I LOVE the series. It never gets old and as you go along, the books become darker and less kid friendly. The book and movie are very similar but I think they're a nice way to start off the franchise. Something for the youth to get them hooked so they can follow Harry on his journey as he grows up and he faces more challenges, choices and responsibilities.
