August 24, 2014 We recently watched all the movies again and I just had a desire grow in me to reread the series because I was missing all the elements that were left out of the movies. I really enjoyed getting the fuller story, seeing the characterizations more clearly, and filling the story with the little nuances that just can't be captured in a film. I was surprised by some of the things I have come to accept as the way they 'really' happened because that is the way it was done in the film, but like the original book version better. So glad I am reading these again. 2nd time reading: I haven't read this since it first came out - 12 years ago! That is hard for me to believe. I am so used to the movie version now, that I forgot just how fun this book is. I really enjoyed it. Read almost the entire book in one sitting (literally - I was on a plane :) I just changed my rating to a 5 because I think it is amazing what JK Rowling started with this story, the lives and world she created and the great story she tells.
