Rough Draft

Harry Potter

I've spent a good chunk of time since I've been home reading the Harry Potter books. I saw the first movie when it came out and thought it was ok and never ending up seeing the second one. Lynn had all the Harry Potter books though and recommended I read them. So since I finally finished Cryptonomicon (which Lynn is now borrowing) I started with the Harry Potter series. I've completed the first two books and am a few chapters into the third. I've really enjoyed the books so far and find them much more engrossing than the movies. Chamber of Secrets has been on the movie channels here, so I recorded it on the Replay and watched it last night. It was pretty good, but reading the book was definitely a lot better. I'm not quite sure what it is that makes the books so much better than the movies. I also need to check out Sorcerer's Companion which Lynn has been reading which she said is basically an encyclopedia of terms used in Harry Potter.
