Hi Jenny I have never been remotely interested in reading any HP books - I think my son might have read one or two although they weren't out when he was younger. Anything that gets kids reading is fine by me, but I prefer something I can relate to. Have just read Footloose - which makes me want to be 18 again or do a Shirley Valentine. If only.... |

Oh!! thank goodness I am not an outsider. I was getting rather worried. Thank you all for putting my mind at rest. I do like to read, I am one of those that does not read for three months. Then will get back into reading and read three books in a week. I am not into Science Fiction. Space films, Fantasy etc. I just love Ghost Stories, that really do ring true, also any author that portrays life in the 1700 and 1800's. I have recently waded through Wilkie Collins, The White Lady. It has taken me ages to read it though. Jenny x |

Hi Jenny Can I join your gang? I have never read any of the books & don't see that I will -the topics just don't interest me. Never seen or read any of the Lord of the Rings either. Thanks to the power of advertising my 5 year old has got into the Star Wars characters although he hasn't seen any of the films either!! We are off tomorrow to buy an R2D2 with his birthday money!

I've seen 2 out of the 3 films, which were ok but not mad about them. Haven't felt the inclination to see what the books are like. If you haven't done so, check out my thread from earlier today if you like the sound of a Harry Potter extract done in the style of Scooby Doo, Eastenders, Enid Blyton, Dr Seuss to name a few. |

Not read any of the books or seen the films. Love a good sci-fi or horror film but for some strange reason Harry Potter does not appeal to me. Maureen |

Here's another non-reader, Jenny. I bought a copy of one of the videos for a nephew last Christmas but when I saw some of it, realised it was for kids. len |

Hi Jen, Haven't read any and only seen 2 of the film's, son never did like reading, think they were too hard going,, but does like going to pic's and watching them. But he does like reading 'Barry Trotter', it's a spoof of Harry Potter (been down the side of the loo for 2 weeks now!) he laugh's his head off reading that! Kim |

No, Jenny, I've never read a Harry Potter book, nor has my son, although my husband is an avid fan. He's quite excited at the prospect of his copy of the latest one arriving in the post tomorrow. Although I've not read the books, I did enjoy the first and third Harry Potter films. I didn't go to the second one, as I tend to have nightmares about certain creatures that featured heavily in that story! CB >|< |

Must admit I haven't read them and quite honestly I don't fancy them - I'm not into wizards etc. or anything of that ilke. Still, to each their own and millions obviously seem happy with them. |

Jenny Me too, and I haven't any interest in reading them either. I love Star Wars, Star Trek and the Lord of the Rings but Harry Potter books and films do not interest me at all :-( Maybe one day if I am bored and one of my lot are watching any of the films I may just watch them and be pleasantly surprised, but I am not going out of my way to see them.
