harry potter?

My friend claimed to be a HP fan. Then she told me that she only got into the books after she watched the movies. She also thinks the movies are not totally disgraceful to the books. This was the beginning of the end.

Does it bother you if someone watched the movies first? Can you really be a true true fan? I guess if afterwards you realize that the books totally outshine the movies. But at the same time, HP is so much better if it just sneaks up on you. Like hmm, lets read this and then it turns out to be magical...literally.
