    Try the UK audiobooks, as read by Stephen Fry (the US ones are read by somebody else who is not very good). It starts out pretty whimsical and frivolous, but the books grow up really well. Also, STEPHEN FRY.

      I could probably cope with Stephen Fry reading them. I can imagine that kind of thing is right up his street. Although I saw half of one of the films and I really disliked it quite strongly. :/

        I love the books, and I hate the movies. They took the books, sucked out their soul, and replaced it with tired tropes.

        My main problem with the movies, though, is that I don't sympathise with movie Harry. He's just generally kind of a shittier person than book Harry, and it shows, especially in the later movies. In the 6th movie in particular, he comes across as arrogant and smarmy. I just can't get through it without wanting to punch him in his smug little face.

        I don't understand why Dumbledore is so serious, either. I swear, he spends the whole sixth movie going ]-: "I'M SO SERIOUS YOU GUYS." Ugh.
