I haven't seen CoS yet, I'll go later, I have a feeling I'll do nothing but complain about it, I have a tendancy to do that but the way the two movies (FotR and Philosopher's stone) were set out and how they flowed, FotR was far superior. I felt to completely understand HP you had to have read the books because Harry would walk up to a random person and go "Hi Neville!" and you'd just go "Oh, so you KNOW him?" whereas I could understand LotR well enough without reading it first and when it came to reading it I was pleasantly surprized with the extra bits.<P>I can't comment on what it would be like seeing the Hp movie before reading the books.
