In my opinion the Harry Potter movies are pretty much just the barest outline of the plot to give an excuse to all the pretty, and then there's some additional dramatic elements just to make it more of a movie :) And of course there's less with the pretty and more with the dark elements as the movies go on, but that's what happens with the books as well... The books aren't really any jewels of literature, but they are enjoyable and entertaining and there's lots of great fanfic (and even more of bad, bad, bad fanfic, but that's what happens when a fandom is really popular...) so I'm firmly clinging to the edges of the fandom :)

What does getting a 2:1 mean?
