ThePQ4:
It depends on what kind of "fan" they are. I'm sure there are plenty of legitimate HP fans out there who only started to read the books after the movies came out, but there are also those "fans" who only continue with the fandom because the actors of whom they have mindless crushes on. I personally have little desire to see any of the rest of the films. I don't really care for many of the films that are based on books anymore --they never turn out right. I don't really like seeing movies anyway and would much rather read, so it's not like it's a big loss for me.
And, I'm kind of serious about the illiterate jerk part --I come from a pretty hick-part of Wisconsin. Some of them don't even know that Harry Potter -is- a book. I am not even kidding.I've had maybe...five or six people since I got the tattoo in July actually KNOW what it was.
Edit: Fixed, sorry I was doing like four different things at the time...

I like to think that this implies the actors have turned into robots or sort-of zombies and are going around smooshing things and maybe people too.

I have never ever ever read a Harry Potter book. Ever. I'm not into teenage dramas, or wizardry/witchcraft, not in my books(well the teenage drama part. Wizardry and witchcraft are ok) anyway. I've seen two(maybe three) of the movies. They are fun, and mildly entertaining. I wouldn't call myself a fan though, since I don't care enough about them to actively seek them out. But just because someone thinks the characters are hot, doesn't mean they aren't a fan. If I recall correctly, you write fan ficitions about Harry Potter. I'm not sure if any of it was slash, but I mean, isn't that kind of harboring a crush on the characters? Crushing on a character doesn't make someone not a fan. Stop being such an elitist.
And just because someone doesn't read Harry Potter, doesn't make them illiterate. Like I said, I've never read a Harry Potter book ever. I don't intend to. I do, however, read a number of other books. I'm currently read a biography of Bukowski. I love David Sedaris. I'm a huge fan of Brautigan. So calling people illiterate jerks because they don't read Harry Potter is kinda silly.
And a number of people didn't know The Bridge to Terabithia was a book before it was a movie either. Same goes for American Psycho, Door In The Floor, Simon Birch, Cider House Rules, Hotel New Hampsire, The World According To Garp, Rosemary's Baby, etc etc. I could go on if you want me to.

Haaaate. Regular Psycho is such a better investment of your time.

Well shit, I didn't know that was a book either. Great movie, though. Fucking scary (also lol demon fuckin lol).
Emaline:
Rosemary's Baby is all kinds of good. American Psycho the movie = suck, but the book is amazing. One of my favorites. I've never read Psycho, but I hear good things. Is it gory at all? American Psycho is filled with gore, which is pretty much why I love it.
