Actually, you are probably fortunate to have seen the movies first!. After reading the books, you realize just how badly the movies have altered what's in the books!. Watching the movies first gives you the opportunity to judge the movies on their own merits, without expecting stories as good as the books, and without expecting the characters and events in the movies to be exactly *like* those in the books!.
