You can be a fan, with out reading the books. I can't make a Twilight comparrison here, because all my friends hate Twilight with a passion, so: Some of my friends have seen all the Harry Potter films, and love them, they've never even read the books. They are massive fans of the flms, and know everything about them. They know that I love both, and I don't force the books on them, because they are free to like what they want to like.

Liking one over the other doesn't make people less of a fan. If anything, that means they are mature enough to admit it. Rather than making themselves read or watch what they don't enjoy, just to fit in. Like I come on here, and people tell me why they like the books, and that doesn't bother me, I tell them that I don't like the books, nobody that I know of has treated me any different.
