I have seen the movie--I said in the poll I didn't like it, but actually I think I'm closer to apathy than genuine dislike. I just don't feel very strongly about it either way, apart from feeling that Daniel Radcliffe was probably miscast here. He does an ok acting job, but I just don't think he fits the part.

For the record, ghost stories have been at the top of my favorite genre list since I was a little kid, so yeah, definitely need to read this.
