> Why is a shared entertainment media experience important? Just some thoughts: When I was younger and Lord of the Rings made a comback, most of my friends read the books in a hurry, discussed some big events, played with sticks and that was it. With Harry Potter we had to wait in between each book. We spent hours discussing the books, re-reading them looking for clues. I can't really watch a series alone, I have to "share" the experience with someone.
