Latest Harry Potter flick

We saw this movie over the weekend. I found it interesting and much more compelling than the others. Not for little kids. Someone gets killed. Yes, the stakes are escalating in what is becoming a classic good vs. evil battle.

So I went out and bought the first two books, and have read 100 pages of book 1 already. So far, the movie (the first movie) is following the book rather closely, but I have a lot more to read. Not really much character development, but how much would you expect in a kids' book?
