More reading

I'm sort of in a Harry Potter-craze right now. Have ordered all remaining books, as number 4 came by mail today. I've also seen Prisoner of Azkaban and I didn't like that movie as much as the first and second. Too many things in the plot were altered, and also Hogwarts and its grounds looked and felt different. I know people say that the books get

Hehe... the magical world is addictive, isn't it?
How many books have you read (in Swedish or English) and how many movies have you seen?
I heard that movie 3 and 4 were worst in leaving out stuff from the corresponding books. In part 5, I didn't think the omissions were disturbing at all. I can't wait to see the movies for 6 and especially 7. A few more years...

Hehe, I'm sort of surprised by your question, I thought I was pretty clear as to which books I've read and which movies I've seen. :)
As mentioned, number 4 came by mail yesterday, thus I've started reading it. I've seen movie number 3, which means I have finished reading the third book, and that I've also read books 1 and 2 (as mentioned earlier in this journal) and seen their respective movies. (If you recall, I wrote in my post that I didn't like the third movie as much as the two first ones, due to too many changes.)
So far I've read 4 chapters of the new book, and I can understand if they need to alter some of it to fit too screen, since it's very thick, but you can do changes in a good way and you can do them in a bad way. I know there's another director for number 4, hopefully I will like his work better.
Can't wait to get back from work today so I can go to bed and read some more. XD

Doesn't seem a very clever question either, eh?

Well, I'm a bit confused by (garbled) information outside this entry. I thought you mentioned before having read other books in Swedish So I assumed you might have read more / all of them in Swedish already, and this is a re-read of all of them in English.

And I guessed that you might have seen other movies before reading the books; like I did myself. Read parts of books and saw movies in subsequent but intertwined order...

Oh well... at least it's a comment which counts towards my monthly stats :-p

I did mention that I had read the first book, and I started reading the second but never finished it. Those were in Swedish. I've seen the 1st and 2nd movie, the second one by mistake or something, cause why would I wanna see it if I hadn't read the book? Well, I didn't remember much of the film luckily, so it wasn't as though I had spoiled anything for myself.
Now that I wanted to give Harry Potter yet another chance (cause I did like the first book in Swedish, I don't know why I didn't finish the second book) I wanted to read them in their original language.

Yey for monthly stats. ;)
