Books Vs. Movies

Started by Lily Evans4 pages

There is going to be a chang bummer i know. I started reading these book in 2001 after the first 4 were already out. I thought they were going to be dumb and babyish but I ended up missing school one day and when I came back there was only one book left to do for a Book Report!!! Harry Potter #1 so I got so in to that went to every library until I found the rest and read them. Then I waited 2and a half year for the fifth book then well you know the rest... 🙁

yeah..i am hoping that the 6th book is out....maybe by next summer....

Ive bin readin hp books for 5 years since i wuz 9

THEY'VE BEEN OUT THAT LONG......JEEZ...DIDN'T KNOW THAT..

**SORRY FOR CAPS**

Yeah...Ever snice I was 10 I tried to ingore them when the first one came out i just read something else.

bumping

bumping

holy crap they've been out that long well thats news to my ears i also hope the books come out next year, early as next summer would be good.

yeah i rememba when i was ten my mom bought me book I n' book II
and the begging of the book I is sooo boring, after the page 35-40 it starts 2 b fun...

Well, I'm pretty sure the directors, producers, and the screen writer know that Hermoine and Ron are more likely to be a couple in the future books than Hermoine and Harry. JK Rowling talks to them about this kind of stuff. So the Hermoine flirting you see in the movie is just Emma and Dan...

Anyway, about the books... OBVIOUSLY, I love the books way better than the movies. There will always be something left out in the movies. But I totally agree with airangel about the whole Harry/Ginny things you see in the books if you read between the lines, compare to the movies which only focus too much on the trio (I say, way too much on Hermoine 🙄 since they're trying to promote the whole "girl power" in my opinion)...

But YES, they should've atleast added more foreshadowing of Harry and Ginny in the movies as the books have. I'm not assuming Harry and Ginny are going to be together, but I think they should've done the valentines' card scene with Harry in the 2nd movie (because I believe that's how Harry really found out how to work the diary.) Remember when he tries to run away from the valentines messenger, he tripped and spilled his ink all over his things, but the diary didn't get stained at all.. JKR also described how Ginny was flustered and looking embarrassed at the moment, and Malfoy teased Harry and Ginny. And also the platform scene with Ginny and Harry in the 1st, because that's how we find out that Ginny had a crush on Harry since the beginning of the series... They didn't even add these in the deleted scenes. And it really have pissed me off.

they have been out since about 1997

im sure of it

thats along time im am always reading and going to book stores but i suppose that the cover makes it look bit childish no offense but thats problee why i didnt buy it but after the first movies i was hooked but then after the first book i was bi wilded sounds corny i know laugh if u will but i really like the books and the movies.

i saw the movies the other day abit let down but i was still content with what i saw

i love the books than the movie. I guess they are more complete (of course) and i think it has more um..... lively.

1997? Dang! I was in gradeschool back then. Probly 6th or 7th grade....

Ditto. OMG did I just say ditto? Weird. Anyway do you all know that the sixth book is going to be called Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince? Hmm just spreading the word and the third HP movie comes out in DVD and Viedo Nov. 23rd of this year.

yah i totally agree that some things in the movies r messed up, like in poa book when harry is on the knight bus the conducter asked what his name was adn he said neville and so the conducter talks about harry potter and when they get 2 the leaky cauldren the minster come onto the bus and is all like harry and the conducter is like that was harry potter im mad 😠 that they changed that that could of been a good part also i would rather have the books but occasionally a little eye candy wouldnt be bad would it? 😉

DANIEL RADCLIFFE HOTTEST THING EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

Well. . . books are almost always better then the movies that are made out of them.

The books are so much better then the movies.The movies are stupid so far and a big disapointment.JM

i HIGHLY doubt that they will for the simple fact of this:

in an interview on the 2nd movie w/ jkr she talks about poa & tells about some of the things to expect & wat they might foreshadow & hermoine & RON is one of those things. she says that in the 3rd movie u start to see more of a connection between ron & hermoine (such as hermione getting ready to grab his hand during COMC class & watching macnair slice up wat they thought was buckbeak she cuddled up to RON...NOT HARRY) jkr says that these connections actually dont pop up until the 4th book (talking about ron's jealousy @ the yule ball) jkr herself pointed these little tidbits out in her interview, yes she has barely written about them in her books, and movies need some sort of chemistry foreshadowing & that chemistry seems to b leaning towards ron & hermione
