I just can't like Harry Potter. I've tried, I saw the first two films plus one or two others in theatre, I read the books. But the movies just don't do it for me. The Philosopher's Stone is so goddam cloy, simplistic, and filled with cliches, I couldn't stand it. I know the characters and story grow with the series, but the seeds of distain have already been planted, and I doubt I have the emotional maturity to uproot this sentiment.
Nevertheless, I'll give Chamber of Secrets a shot tomorrow.
