ok between the little kid playing really little Tom Riddle and this kid playing teenage Tom Riddle i totally feel like a pedophile now

i dunno what the appeal of HP was, because i didn't like any of the books when i tried to read them :( just couldn't keep reading enough to finish any of the books. i've enjoyed quite a few fanfics and one or two of the movies though and agree the characters are pretty awesome, although again not sure how much of that is the fanfic author's writing style and how much of it is the original character and his/her plight.

JKR >>>> SM though totally, i read a page of Twilight out of curiosity and thought it was a spoof/joke :(
