As with what Hylas said (the films being relaxing), that's why I like them so much too! It's just so pleasant...

I really enjoyed the second film especially laughing at Gilderoy Lockhart.

I read some reviews by others on the AOL entertainment section and people said the film was very different though enjoyable. They say certain parts of the school/castle were changed drastically to the point where the "magical world of HP" was lost. And some didn't like the new Dumbledore (which I would have to agree...not seeing the film yet, the new guy, Michael Gambon, seems really irritating). So, I would like to hear some reviews from the rest of you whenever you guys get a chance to see it.

Another thing: this is just a little something I read on the MSN entertainment section. Daniel Radcliffe apparently isn't going to return to film the fifth movie. They're currently doing the fourth, but sources say that's it after that. That's unfortunate news since I don't think anyone can replace Radcliffe (or the others!), even if his acting is mediocre. Rupert Grint and Emma Watson are pretty good actors and it'd be a shame to see them go if they all leave.
