"The movies are really good. Should I show them to my class?"
-Tawangela The short answer is "probably not." The movies are not designed for classroom use and are rated at a higher level than what is appropriate for school-age children in a classroom setting. Above this, however, is the fact that this can take so much away from the magic of the books. Let the books survive on their own in your program and let the children use their imaginations without the help of Hollywood.
