I felt the same way, and even had an opportunity to meet JK Rawling at the height of the hoopla when HP was on the cover of Time magazine, etc. I was like, "Who?!" and blew it off.
I obviously regret that.
I started reading the first book for yuks right before the first flick came out, and I got hooked. Despite the fact that they're written for 7 year olds, they are page turners!
And for the record, I happen to think they did a great job with the movies. It's remarkable to see how much older & bigger the kids have gotten between Stone and Chamber.
