Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

[Drunk Monk]

I just caught the end of Chamber of Secrets last Saturday on TV, was it? I watched about half of it, which is more than I've wacthed of any Potter movie. Never read the books. It doesn't do anything for me. I don't know why, because it strikes me as something I should like. After all, we're paying a fortune to have Tara at Hogwarts, or something akin to Hogwarts without all the magic. And I'm used to groups of people with extraordinary powers. You'd think the Potter world would offer a whole bunch more metaphors for me, like Star Wars or Star Trek, Lord of the Rings or even X-men. Maybe it's just too young for me now. Too young, but not young enough because I'm sure the imagery would scare Tara right now. Maybe when she gets older I'll dial into it more.

How many Potter movies have there been? Rowling pisses me off as an author - no writer should make that much, except King maybe...
