It's not true, mate. Although I agree that movies do wrose than the books, some people think the movies themselves are actually better. I never had the time to read Harry Potter books so instead I keep myself knowledgable of what happened by just staring at a screen for 2 hours to get the jist of it. I'm not illiterate, back when I was young I was reading books like "The Metamorphosis" and "War and Peace" each day. Now I simply do not have time to read.

Monado, MAKE the time to read the Harry Potter books! I started to read them just to see if they'd be appropriate for my daughter and then I really got into them! I saw the first movie or two, and I haven't bothered with the rest since they barely scratch the surface of what's in the books. I don't know what takes up all of your time, but do yourself a favor and blow off or neglect some of those other time-wasters to read the books. You won't regret it.

The 5th movie was pretty good.

I agree with Plexico. You don't have the time to read, but you have the time to post on FML? Do yourself a favor and reorganize your priorities. Reading would be a much more valuable use of your time. Someone who read Kafka and Tolstoy as a kid should know that. Seriously, the movies are crap compared to the books. You're doing yourself a huge injustice.

33 - If you wanted to read the books you could get through about half of the shorter ones in two hours. Further, probably, if you're up to Tolstoy and company. And it's more rewarding than staring at a screen.

She's from the, Uk. Although the premire doesn't come out tonight, they get to view the premire earlier than the US.

so you don't sleep during school time? that makes you a dumb ****. obviously you cant manage your time and have no use in the real world so stop going to school. you are pathetic.

AnnieLennox isn't a dumbfuck because she values her education over a few hours of sleep. Ever wonder how people excel in high school, college, work and life? That's how. It's clear that you didn't know that. People have a lot to do in school, in college and at work...poor time management doesn't always account for a lack of sleep. "No use in the real world" is probably the last thing i'd ever attribute that to.

Yeah, seriously, not sleeping much when you're a student doesn't mean you can't manage your time, it means that you have more important things to do. I can remember a week in HS where I was tech director for a play, tech week, midterms... Think 18+ hours a day in school, including weekends, not including homework. The play was awesome, I got straight As on my midterms, and it was fun as hell. But I got less than 12 hours of sleep that week. Sleep isn't the most important thing in the world!

I had a 3.998 on a 4.0 scale in one of the most competitive schools in nation. I also had a job and did school sports and school clubs. I excelled in school but I put my health before education. You don't have to make yourself sick just to excel you clueless ******. It's clear that I have more experience with time management then you do. You cannot function as a normal human being (and benefit society) if you do not get enough sleep. Why do you think so many people take pills to sleep? BECAUSE IT IS VITAL. It's different, however, when you have something that actually takes up time (like practice or work). Homework and studying really do not take that much time if you do it correctly and MANAGE YOUR TIME.

And you used the wrong form of your/you're. you should have said "Unless of course you'RE twelve". You can't own twelve. Most twelve-year-olds have these basic grammar skills, balls, and more!

PWNED. #68 FTW.

funny, it seems like only a twelve year old would write "f***ed" because they were too scared to write "******".
