As an avid reader, I am quite hesitant to see my beloved books displayed on screen only to have the directors do them no justice. Sure, some things were left out undoubtedly due to time constraints, but overall, it conveyed the story well. However, when I saw the first Harry Potter, I was terrified it was going to be "butchered" like most "books to movies" are but was pleasantly surprised by the relatively "stick to the book" script it displayed.

I chose to read it to them so we could ALL enjoy it.and we did! Naturally, the kids were excited when the movie came out. Having three daughters I have a choice when a great book comes out: buy three of them (EXPENSIVE!!), force someone to wait until the other is done before they can read the book (sure, I enjoy breaking up fights!), or read it to them.
