Do Du believe that Du can only be a Harry Potter Fan if Du have read all of the books?

I think if Du are a real Fan Du should read the books. Du can be a Fan of the Filme but if Du are a Fan of Harry Potter Du read the book because that is the really Harry Potter.
What I get from your Kommentar Du are a real HP Fan because Du are trying to read the Bücher and maybe even want to read all of them.

To those people who complains about that they can't read for some reasons, there is a reason there is audio books. I have read and "read" all of the Bücher myself several times (16/7 times, the last one only 6 times). I even learn to read properly from HP but I do listen to the audio Bücher sometimes because I don't like to read so much anymore like I did before, so today I try to walk so much as possible and in the mean time I listen to the books. English isn't my first language but I listen to them in English because I Liebe his voice, I mean he really brings the characters alive. And when I listen to them in English, I improve english at the same time.
I really enjoy that.

i think that the true Fan of HP is one who understand it no matter he have read the Bücher oder have not....

No. Du can fall in Liebe with Harry Potter at any time, :P

Du can be a Fan at any time, even just watching the movies. However, to be a true, die-hard fan, Du have to read the books. But you're already Lesen the books, so if Du continue to Liebe them and read them, then you're perfectly die-hard :)

I didn't read the Kommentare before so Sorry if I repeat anyone.

Personnally I have read all the Bücher and I've seen all the Filme but I just consider myself just as a fan.
I don't believe of the crap and I repeat clearly myself THE crap other Fans oder people call "TRUE FAN" it doesn't exist such a thing oder person oder group of persons.
It's just a damn way to separate us and to make people feel bad just because they only like the Bücher oder only likes the movies.
For me Du are A Fan because Du like what Du read oder watched oder both, that is a fan.
Being a Fan is just liking the Bücher oder just one book oder one movie. People who say: "True Fans blablabla" just wants to give themselves some importance. I don't see the big deal about it. We're all HP Fans and we're all equal just Von that.
True Fan stuff is just BS.

If Du ask me, the answer is simple. Du can be a Fan if Du haven't read the books. But Du can not fully appreciate the beauty held in Harry Potter. So basically what I'm saying is this: Du are a fan. Not a true fan. When you've read all the Bücher though...that's a different story.

At least Du aren't one of those people who watches the Filme then reads the first two pages of the first book and say, "I don't like it. It's stupid." Hope Du finish them soon!

honestly i think that if Du have only seen the Filme Du wouldnt understand everything

My Sister and Brother didn't start Lesen the Bücher until they saw the films. And my Mother, who has seen all the movies, has never once picked up a Harry Potter book, and she calls her self a "Die-hard" fan.

Maybe to some people that would mean you're not a true fan. But who cares what they think? What matters most is what Du think...

No way!!!! I absolutely hate the Bücher but I looooooove the Filme and im a huge Fan of them:) so there:)

No Du can be a true Fan without Lesen all the books, but Du would be missing out on a LOT of great stuff that didn't make it into the movies.

no, i dont agree with your mom. i havn't read them all. i'm on the fourth book. i have watched all the Filme though. as i was typing this my cat was trying to get my breakfast... XD

I stared loving Harry Potter when I saw the HP1 movie! I was so in Liebe with it. U don't have to read all 7 Bücher to become a Fan of HP, HP is sooo cool that Du can be a Fan of it Von only watching the HP 1 movie ;) it's possible. And I did'nt read all Bücher yet,I just read HP 1,2 & 3 and saw all the movies. I agree with @innocenta.

No Du don't need to have read all the Bücher I was 3 when I became a Fan of Harry Potter and I couldn't read and so far I have only read Chamber of Secrets and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Du can be a Fan of the Harry Potter movies...

I don't agree with your mom at all. Being a 'real' Fan of anything is subjective. I've seen all the moves, read all the Bücher -- starting when they first came out --, been to almost all the midnight releases, dressed up as characters, and had themed parties. But I don't have the Bücher on tape, and hardly have any memorabilia, and some might say that I'm not a 'real fan.'

A real Fan is someone who loves the series, regardless of whether they've read all the books, seen all the movies, only got into it because of certain actors oder movies, oder got into it once it got 'popular.' The way I see it: if someone tells Du you're not a real Fan because Du didn't do what they've done, they're just trying to make themselves look and feel better Von making Du look small.

Du Liebe the series -- that's all that matters.

I think that's a minimum, as everything started there, in the books. There might have been no movies, yet the Bücher are still there.

The Filme are great and in so many aspects, they convey what the atmosphere of the Bücher fairly well. Plus the cast is just wonderful. I encourage my students in the English language to watch the Filme because they are an highly enjoyable way to improve English, thanks to the impeccable diction of some of the actors.

However, the Filme could not tell everything. Many important subplots have been discarded. The Bücher are far richer and it's a pity not to read them.

On ne peux pas être de vrai Fan de Hp si on n'a pas tous les livres, même on a vu les films! Car les films ne font que résumer ce qu'est le vrai Harry Potter ;)

i think your mum is totally wrong ! Du can be a harry potter Fan just Von Lesen only one book ! Du start to be a Fan since the moment Du start liking the "thing" ! don't believe in that ! because , if Du like ... Du ARE A TRUE Fan !

Well you're a Fan of the Filme , but to be a TRUE Fan Du have to read the Bücher . I mean that's what everythings based on and I believe Du do have to read the Bücher if Du want to call yourself a true potterhead .

obviously your a harry potter Fan because your Lesen the books, but if Du give no effort whatsoever to read the Bücher then no, your not a harry potter fan.

No. I'm a very big Fan of the movies. But never read the books. Well,except I read a few chapters on book 5. Just sayin.

I don't think Du have to read all of the Bücher to be a true HP Fan I've only read the last 2 myself and it did help me understand Mehr about some of the characters better like Severus the Filme make him look pretty bad but once Du read the Bücher Du really understand why he had to be the way he was

It depends what a true Fan means to Du :3

You're a real Fan when Du believe you're a real fan, not when other believe it.

Du certainly can be a real HP Fan without Lesen the books, but you're cheating yourself if Du don't read them. The Filme are great, sure, but they pale in comparison to what JK Rowling wrote. When Du watch the movies, you're only getting maybe a quarter of the story, and you're getting someone else's vision of it. Only when Du read the Bücher do Du get the whole story, and Du can make your own movie in your mind. Du have your own vision of the story, and I think that's far Mehr valuable.

And honestly, Du don't really know the true depth of the characters if Du don't read them. And if Du never read the books, then Du will never truly understand how brave, how awesome was our Potions Master, oder how great was his sacrifice, because the Filme do not do Severus Snape justice. Alan Rickman does, have no doubt, but the films just don't.

And if you're a Fan of Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, as I am (passionately), you'll never really know them if Du don't read the books. Because the Filme trivialize them terribly.

If Du never read the books, you'll never meet Peeves, and that would just be sad, because he's such a wicked little guy. I Liebe him. ;)

Read the books. You'll be glad Du did.

I don't think Du have to read the Bücher to be a fan. I have several Friends that like the Filme and have never picked up one of the Bücher in their lives. That being said, I always encourage people to read the books. They have so many awesome moments in them that, unfortunately, never made it to the big screen. It takes longer to read a book than to watch a movie, but the Bücher are totally worth reading. Du can't get a full understanding of the magical world and of Harry's story if Du just watch the movies.

No. There's lots of Harry Potter Fans who haven't read the books, they just watch the movies.

Granted, I think you'll like Harry Potter Mehr after you've read all the Bücher because the Filme miss a lot.

Everyone has their opinion. But I think it's a bit silly to asume anyone has the ability to say if someone else is really a true Fan oder not. That's for Du to say.

i think being an harry potter Fan Du don't need to read all the books.you can just watch the first few Filme of harry potter to under stand them.

No, Du can be a Fan if you've only seenthe Filme too. But if you're a real fan, Du will read the books.

i personally don't think it matters what Du do its Mehr of how Du feel about something that makes Du a true Fan if Du read all the Bücher and watch all the Filme but don't have a huge interest in it than your not a true Fan but if Du read a few Bücher oder watch some Filme and absolutly Liebe it than i think that makes Du a fan. I think its a personal desicion and judgement whether oder not your a Fan no one else can say that your not a real Fan because Du do oder don't do something that is up to you. If that makes sense

I think that if Du read the Bücher Du will understand the movie Mehr but if Du just watch the Filme then Du are still a fellow potter Fan because really a potter Fan just loves harry potter even if it is just the movies.
- but the Bücher are awesome =D-

No. Du don't have to read the Bücher to be a true HP fan. Either makes Du a fan. Just as long as Du Liebe the story. But Du might get a better understanding of the story and get to read somethings that wasn't in the Filme if Du read the books.
