Cool What's the thrill with Harry Potter?
I've never seen one, the commercials are enough.

I'm with you Doc, I don't get the whole Potter craze. Never read one of the books or seen one of the movies, and I doubt I ever will.

Read one or two of the books when I was younger, not sure the craze though. Think its just the fantasy thing that people always wanted to live

Wish I had an answer, but never read or saw Harry Potter and have no interest to do so.

I don't get excited however it's a very entertaining show. I've only heard you say you like one show out of 100s, so I am guessing you don't laugh much. Save the response, I know it already

By the way, F & B keeps getting better

All the rage here too. Mostly with children though. Never interested me in the least personally.

Plus, I think this was targeted for the younger market, and throughout the years as that younger market grew up they stayed with reading the books. Plus, you also got more younger people to catch on throughout the years. Everyone was just happy with the books until they found out they were going to make the movies.

Don't get the craze either, but for some reason I want to bang J K Rowling.

Parrot is a younger guy, not much wrong with it, if he was our age you might be able to make fun. Never read a book, never watched a movie here, but as the kids get older I'm sure that will change

Would rather serve a year of solitary confinement than sit through one of these films all the way through
