Harry Potter movies are fan fiction. Discuss

We recently acquired the 3rd Harry Potter DVD, which every time I watch annoys me more for the liberties it takes with the story line. However, Charlie enjoys the movies. Bits of the movies. He never sits through the whole thing, but parts of the movies have caught his imagination, so this weekend we spent some time watching bits of all three movies. Watching the movies brought me to the conclusion I mentioned in my previous post that the movies are just really expensive fan fiction. Actually, to clarify, I should say bad fan fiction.

( Explanation behind the cut )

Charlie however, quite enjoys the movies. He has yet to sit through one all in one go, but he likes watching them. This weekend he was pretending to go by floo powder. He would stand up next to a big pile of stuffed toys, mis-pronounce Diagon Ally, just as Harry did in the movie, pretend to drop the powder, and then say 'woosshhssswusshh' and fall on the pile of stuff. He has also been going around saying 'Riddikulus' all weekend. The funniest thing though, was his reaction to Aunt Marge being blown up. It freaked him out a bit, but he did seem to understand that it happened because she upset Harry, because not long after we watched that, I told Charlie something he didn't want to hear and he pointed a finger at me and said "I'm going to blow you up!" Which made me just laugh.

He also liked the Knight Bus. All weekend our couch was the Knight Train.
