Which to see first: Walk the Line or Harry Potter?
Wow, finally a weekend that has 2 movies that I really want to see. So, what's your plan? Which do you want to see first?

I say Potter, because that is what I'm doing and I'm a role model for all dang it! 
Seriously, do Potter ASAP, and save Walk the Line for a Sunday afternoon matinee, like me...

Potter. I love the series, I love the actors, I love the mythos, I just love it.
I'll wait for Walk the Line to come out on DVD. Biopics are all kind of DVD material anyway.
Harry Potter is an event.

I would probably see WTL first, since it's not likely to be as crowded, and the audience should be more mature. I'd wait about a week for the crowds of kids to die down for HP.

The other way around for me. I don't mind the Potter movies, but I always wait for them to come on HBO.

You really do need to see Harry potter on the big screen. This one is PG-13, I dont know if it will stop any parents from brining thir children but maybe. Best thing I have found is try to see it while all the kids are in school if you get the chance. If not maybe a last showing. Im gonna catch WtL mon when I get back in town

See Walk the Line. I'll probably never see either of them in my lifetime, but if I had to pick one I'd say see Walk the Line, because it's not Harry Potter. I never understood the appeal of Harry Potter. I'm not trying to diss it, I'm just trying to understand why people like it. I've only seen the first one, because my sister rented it one day. And even then I only watched 75% of it.

Well I went to Potter on Fri night and went to Walk the Line on Saturday morning...Could have easliy been the other way around, but I thought less kids on Fri night as compared to Saturday...Plus HP is has been one of my long awaited films this year.

I'm going to make some wild guess here, but perhaps it's because taste very and it appeals to a good majority of folks?
Or maybe simply because it's entertaining to those who enjoy it. who would have thunk it?

One could say the same thing about a biopic of Johnny Cash that you're saying about Harry Potter. Why go see a biopic in the theater? It's all in where your taste lies. I like Johnny Cash and I like Juaquin Phoenix, but I don't like either of them enough to see Walk the Line in the theater.
