This is one of the best book series there is. Although recently Hollywood came out with a advertisement for this book. In my own opinion, I do not think that it should become a movie because in the past film makers have turned great books into movies and in doing so have completely destroyed imaginations for the characters. Take Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The book was FANTASTIC! Yet the movie was awful. Everyone had a bad comment or scene that they did not like. I'm just saying, that maybe people should reconsider this.
