Are Harry Potter films are better than the books?

[archy22]

I have read all of the Harry Potter books and watched all of the Harry Potter books up to the current one. I feel this qualifies me to speak about the two different mediums.

I feel that the movies are better than the books for the simple reason that it gives us great, beautiful visualizations of the imagery presented to readers of the books. I, for one, love seeing special effects of magical and terrific aspects of books, which cannot be done on film without special effects. in my opinion, some movies surpass the book version because the movie tries to skim the story down to the basic plots and components, resulting in a faster paced story that can be told in a few hours rather than a few days. This can be very good as long as the story isn't chopped down so much that the end product is nothing like the book story.

I haven't read any of the Harry Potter books yet. Yes I prefer to have it in the movie. But I have a friend, who happens to be a writer too. He has read all the episodes. He says, it is better in books. The movie, according to him did not equate how the author illustrated it in the book. Maybe from a writer's point of view, they want the exact illustration in the film as it was told in the book. I guess I am just easy to please. I don't want to bother to read a very thick book, i just have no time for that.

I have read the books and seen the movies. I think that the book are better. They have more story in them then the movies. I feel like the movies leave a lot of things out, some of the things are really important. I understand that movies are forced to do this because of the time it would take to have the whole book on film but its still upsetting.

I Think that Books are better than the Movies since most of the detailed events goes to the book and the deeper explanation of the story is in the book also. Well Movies helps us to visualize enough what the book is saying to. Although it lacks the detailed events as the book says.

Yes, of course, the movie is far better than the book. In the movie you can see the actual view of the story, even the actions, and the effects, reading the book is quite boring, you can just imagine.

I had only read 4 out 7 harry potter books. But i always prefer watching the movie than reading the books

 

[armarasrar1]

Well I did not read the books of harry potter but i watched many series of it and i think By Watching movie we can feel the story more

Personally, I love reading books but with Harry Potter books I tried to read one but it made me bore. I think it's because of I even watched it and it's nice to see special effects that made me encourage to wait for other series. It got even more excited when I watched it because of exciting scenes than reading books that made me sleep (nah, I love books but super thick books made me sleep :Smile.

it is obviously that films are better then the books .Harry potter stories need a lot of imaginations and some cannot think of this type of creative imaginations, so we will be able to get that imagination via films. Reading books cannot get you the right imaginations and might spoil your mood when you cant get it right.

The first thing that was made is always the best; in this case, the books. If the movie was made first, then the movie is the best. The original is always the best.

I seem to find the statement, "The original is always the best," true. For example, let's say I do a good signature. If I try to copy the details and everything, it sucks. So the first one is always the best.

Books are better than movies in general anyway. Reading is good for your mind. :Smile:
