Which do you prefer? Why?

Which do you prefer; the Harry Potter books or the films? And why?

[DevonLupin]

I pefer the books over the movie, the reason for it is that explains the events in good detail. The movies tend to cut good parts out...

[sbeezy]

definitely the books. i don't think that the movies stayed true to the books at all. OotP was the best so far, but they still changed so much. plus, the books give more room for the imagination to let go, which i love.

[hermioneron4ever]

I like the books more. They have more meaning, and they tell you more about things and events. you get more information behind thing and why they happen, and they make you feel like you are there with the characters.

I like both. I like the books because they have much more details and yet i like the movies cause you can actually SEE the action and it feels soooo real. You also get pulled into a world of magic where things are unpredictable and you can watch Harry and his friends face the forces of evil and sacrifice things yet they get things back. The whole pulling into a world of magic also goes for the Books but the movies show MORE of the action and you can actually understand how they all feel and you can make up things of how they are feeling. Yet in the books they have how they are feeling down but the books are still allowing you to picture the characters and the places.


[[Sorry for the long post! its just harder to write down on how you feel about these sort of things then saying them outloud]]

I prefer the books to the movies, especially with the last movie, The Order of the Pheonix, there was sooo much left out compared to all the stuff in the book it was upsetting. But yah the books just have more to them and the movies wud never be able to include all of it so i just love the books, like the movies but love the books!

[hermione4eva]

I like them both equally they are really good!

[riri365]

I like the books better because the books are too long to make a movie out of it.So they leave so much out of the movie.

[x-HermioneGranger-x]

I love both. I love Reading and I Love Watching the films

[Evangeline]

And I like films and books
Sorry, I don't like it, I LOVE IT!

[Tribulation]

I definatly prefer the books. The movies are good, but they don't capture the same...air of amazingosity that the books do.

[JustineShaw20089]

I'd have to say the books. I mean..there is alot more
stuff in the books than the movies have. Don't get me
wrong though, I LOVE the movies

A couple of days ago I wrote that I enjoyed the
books more, but I think I'm changing it to the movies.

[Love Draco]

I LOVE them both if ithink the movies are wrong I say there not even the same thing

[faythmalfoy]

Harry Potter books because they go into more detail, and you understand what is going on. The movies don't explain much if you haven't read the series.

[hp-lover]

I love the movies, but they dont tell you enough about what is going on and whats going to happen next..so i guess i love the books more, which is good cos i love reading them.

[lexininjaa]

The movies pale in comparison to the books. The books are so rich in detail and depth and the movies just leave out so much it's irritating.

[norcal08]

The books are always better. it gives the reader a chance to come up with their own ideas about the look and feel of the characters and setting. It isnt saying that the movies are bad, because they are amazing! it is just let your imagination run wild. i know it sounds kind of cheesy but whatev.

[weasley's#1fan]

they give way more detail

[MagicBee]

I Prefer The films Because it brings the book to life

[Jake Morelli]

The books are better because of the details, of course. Although the movies aren't bad either.

[RadcliffeWatson]

I Enjoy both..

[hermioneizfit]

i like them all because harry is in them

[drdoran]

I prefer the books to the films because the films tend to have things left out from the books since the movies can't really be that long; otherwise, people will get tired of sitting there. But I do think the books allow you to conjure up your own mental image of what the characters look like, what the world looks like, etc. It allows you to make up your own imaginative fantasy world.

I have to agree with JKR_sunk_my_ship, its such a hard question.. though I dont need to read if I watch the movies
