Oh, the Harry Potter fandom specifically hasn't made me like the movies/books any less. It's fandom in general that has made me less patient with movies.
And as someone who's grown up with Bollywood, 3+ hour movies are quite acceptable to me (though possibly not some of the trashier qualities). IDK, I've found Western audiences don't like longer movies... I've never quite understood.
For me, it's that I am used to getting a narrative arc in forty minutes or less. Once I went to college, how many movies I watched drastically decreased.
