Re: Harry Potter Hype (OT)Posted by Nick on August 20, 2001 at 19:50:24: In reply to: Philosophical Woes posted by Rupal on August 16, 2001 at 12:36:52: Hey,I am completely boycotting all the merchandizing. I will read the books, and ONLY the books. I won't watch even one second of the movie, and i won't look at billboards and other ads. I am one of those die-hard fans who thinks that making a movie out of a book like this is just the worst thing you could do. Children growing up a few years from now will not have thier own image of Harry, but rather an image that the media has installed in their brains. I don't think that's fair. To children born after the movie comes out, there will never even have BEEN an original Harry Potter, and even if the rest of us get 'converted' at least we will remember the old days. ~Nick
