0 With 01i00instalment02i00, I think of all the seven books/films as parts of a whole. 01i00Sequel02i00, to me, doesn't convey this idea. It seems to me a bit pejorative, as if the next six movies (where the sixth sequel, HP and the Deathly Hallows would be the seventh instalment) were only spoiling the success of the first one.02br
00Maybe I'm wrong, this is just my impression. 050010id1
