I like the books alot. The movies don't really do them justice, but they are enjoyable to watch anyway. The second movie is also a bit worse than the first, IMHO.
Books are where its at though. Back before I got hooked, I would turn my nose up at the mention of Harry Potter. "Meh, a bunch of kids books, and snobby adults who are trying to look hip by reading them."
Then, another adult (a 50-something adult, in fact), whom I respected very much, reccommended the first book to me. From the moment I read the first chapter I realized what I an asshat I've been before - these books are the best thing since sliced bread! I've read the first four books in around two weeks. I was literally up for hours at a time, reading, when I would normally be sleeping. If this isn't addiction, I don't know what is.
For the fifth book, I made sure to moderate my reading. I intentionally forced myself to stop for the night every few chapters, so the book was finished in a week and not in a day.
