Really? When I read the book, I distinctly remember feeling very depressed and starkly stoic throughout the story. It was very dark, but, then again, whose adolescence isn't?

I liked the book and the movie. I figure you can't judge them against each other on an equal field since one is a literary work while the other is more visual effects. I agree; the books are more fulfilling, but who doesn't love anything HP?
