The books are WAY better than the films. The movies frustrate me because they leave out so many things and mix stuff up.

Books.
I agree with you guys. Just like Dreamcatcher, in the movie, Duddits is an alien, which in the book he is not. I don't think they even mentioned what S.S.D.D. means.
Also, in the book, Duddits died of sickness and he used his last powers to transport Henry (I think) to Jonesy's mind warehouse. In the movie, it was because he did a kamikaze on the evil alien.

i agree with the books bein better than the films, but the books are so detailed, its very very hard to convey everythin in the films... even so, the films are still great too! and i know we're all nit-pickin at the pics we've seen from PoA, but once we've seen the film, i can guarentee all the harry potter fans will love it.... well... probably.... confused blink confused

I doubt it. All the children under 10 might love it just like the other two. The Harry Potter books are amazing and although not perfect like the Lord of the Rings books they are thoroughly enjoyable. The Harry Potter movies where absolute rubbish, although Chamber of Secrets was a lot better than Philosopher's Stone.

It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "hey - don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride..." And we... kill those people. Ha ha "Shut him up." "We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This just has to be real." Just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter because: It's just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defences each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.' - the late prophet Bill Hicks.

I definitely agree the books are better. They're more in depth....though I think the 5th book could have been better.

Tongue hang on

Yes the books maybe a little better but not a whole lot. In the movies you get to see what they were talking about in the book,yes it may leave out some parts but most of them aren't really important if it didn't make it in the movie. Even if they did make it in the movie the movie would be like a day long film, now would you want to be in a movie thearter for a day long? Maybe but maybe some people don't.Well that was just what I think but the books and movies I think are about the same. big grin eek! big grin eek! big grin eek!

I think that some parts of the movies would be hard to understand if you hadnt read the books.

Well, it’s difficult to bring a book to the screen. Look at all the stuff they cut out from Lord of the Rings, even in the extended versions.
In the HP books there’s a lot about how Harry feels, what he thinks, contemplates and wonders about. It’s a little hard to do that in a movie.
I like both, to be frank. The movies are very true to the spirit and imagination of the books. And the casting is excellent. Daniels eyes ARE blusih-green, depends on the light.

In the Order of the Phoenix topic, in my opinion, the book is cleverly written. However, there are certain happenings and details that irk me. For example, Harry's new attitude.
