i watched the movies first and really fell in love with them , i first decided that i will never read the books becuz i thought why waste time reading the same thing that i have seen. But most of the people on the internet were like books are better and they left a lot of stuff from books. So these kind of things kind of motivated me to read the books but the thing that motivated me the most was when someone said that they left voldemorts back story so when i haerd this i bought the books in one week and i liked the books so much becuz of the details and characterizations and little or minor sequences that were not in the movies.
