 Children prefers HP books to HP movies - children likes HP books, not the movies Summary:
Sherissa Moses, 17, a senior at Northwest High, didn't like the film either.
"Harry Potter is so much better than the movie," Moses said about the book. Article:
Dani Brown, a junior at Northwest High School, threw one of her flip-flops when she saw the Harry Potter movie.
The film skipped some parts of the book, the 16-year-old said.
Sherissa Moses, 17, a senior at Northwest High, didn't like the film either.
"Harry Potter is so much better than the movie," Moses said about the book.
That opinion is shared by many of the six to 12 students in Moving Words, a program at the Roanoke Public Library. For the past year, the students have read a novel and then met at the library on Wednesday night to watch the movie adaptation. The following week, they compare the two versions.
Parents must sign a permission slip for students to see R-rated films.
The students participate on their own time. They don't receive school credit.
"We do it for ourselves," Susie Stephens, 15, a freshman at Northwest, said.  | |

I too was dissapointed with the films, but not so much the first time I saw them. The first time I was too ecited to take in much at all but after watching it 3 times you start to notice things about it that are wrong or have been left out.

The books are the best for books, but you have to give credit to the filmmakers, they wouldnt have been able to express all of harry's thoughts like JKR did in the books.

i do prefer Hp books than movies. I know most of Hp fans hated the first movies, but it's impossible to a movie re-play all the books facts. I know that P'sS and CoS could have been better, however, I still hope for an awesome PoA.

I love the books, but I think it's cool to see the stories put on the big screen!

I watched both movies before i read the books and i strongly agree that the books are a million times better than the movies. However, I think being able to put the faces of the actors of the movie into my head while i read the book, made the book even better for me. | |

I saw the movies before I read the books, but I like the books better I also like that you can see what Harry is thinking and don't have to guess by facial expressions.
