Haven't seen HP yet, want to wait till the cinema isn't full of kids (miserable old git)! I surprised myself by enjoying the books despite the hype.
Thinking back to my own childhood, I don't remember "kids flicks" apart from Saturday morning pictures. I seemed to watch mostly Tarzan and westerns with my parents.
I can picture my mother at the bus stop trying to pretend she wasn't with us as Dad and I hid in shop doorways re-enacting the film by pointing our fingers at each other and making shooting noises"
RtS (the world was in black and white then, of course!)
