Meh. The synopsis on IMDB sounds a little cooler - but it looks like a Harry Potter rip off to be honest. I was so hoping this would be a lot darker than the trailer looks.

I read these books when I was in 3rd grade. Over Sea, Under Stone was probably the most mundane of the series, and took me the longest time to finish. Other than that, they were fun books.

Yeah, pre HP, I've heard it was more of a Narnia rip off if anything, but it looks like some good fantasy. I bought the first book :D.

It looked interesting. Makes me want to go by the book just so I can read it before it comes out.

When I read them, my sister gave me the 2nd (The Dark is Rising) to read first. I didn't want to, but she told me just to read the first chapter and then give it back to her. I ended up asking her for the rest of the books.

1 - Over Sea, Under Stone (not so strong on the fantasy elements)
2 - The Dark is Rising
3 - Greenwitch
4 - The Grey King
5 - Silver on the Tree

[Edit: Just saw the trailer (blocked at work, have to do it at home). Looks like they modernized it a bit.]
