I think you'd really enjoy the Narnia series as well. It isn't nearly as complicated as HP with all the twists and surprises, but it's still a very good read.

I finally saw the first Narnia movie when it was on Encore. It was really good! I'll probably wait for this to come out on TV too.

I liked the first one a lot. The second was very different from the book, but I guess if you look at it as JUST a movie rather than comparing it to the book, then it was good. For someone who hasn't read the books, I don't know which movie they'd like best.

Books are ALWAYS better than the movie.

This one completely changed a lot of major plot points. It was a little disappointing. It's hard to look at the movie separate from the book and decide if it was good or not. I keep thinking, "but it wasn't right!" lol

That's the truth! But, the Lord of the Ring series of movies were excellent.
I read the book so long ago, I barely remember it.
