Maybe it will work better on DVD, where you can watch it in episodes, and stop every 25 minutes to let it soak in
Uh-huh, which of course then prompts the thought that perhaps a lavishly-done TV series of all the books would actually have worked better. I even believe that 13 books are eventually planned, which is precisely the number of episodes in most US TV series.
Maybe, though, a TV series of the kind necessary to really pull this off just wouldn't be possible in the US, and an institution like the BBC is required to take on the task: I'm thinking of e.g. their adaptations of some of the Narnia Chronicles, or The Box of Delights.
