My whole fam is into it. Even tho some didnt read them all, its still very much a part of our fam. So I didnt get TOO much of a look when I wasted my money. Did your brother read the books? The movies are good, but don't watch them till you read the books. I read all the books, and am rereading them, and watched the movies 1-5 and a half. They are all awesome, and keep dropping HP quotes during your day. Eventually youll annoy your brother into reading them.
