Looks like the new movie will be something special, just like the past four have been. I read the books when they were new but have mostly forgotten them now. Watched most of the films when they were new too, and have been rewatching them over the years (though applies less to the first two). Prisoner of Azkaban was always my favourite but and Goblet of Fire second but I recently watched all six back to back in anticipation of the Deathly Hallows and I think Goblet's just about the best now. I think I had gotten over-familiar with Azkaban to the point where I would watch how beautiful it looks from a technical standpoint (it and the Half Blood Prince are the best-looking Potter movies) without being able to stand following the long rambling story.
I've been trying to get around to writing something a bit longer about the first six, after watching them all and in anticipation of the new film but still haven't gotten around to it. When/if I do it'll go in 'Rate the last movie you watched' and I'll put a link in here if this thread's still about.
