books better than films? or films better than books?

Wat is it with the films? they left out loads!!!!
The books are by far better than the films!!!
馃摉 = better!!!

Oh yeah, definately. We were having this discussion on another thread, and we agreed that nothing compares to your own imagination and creative writing!

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

i no they r

I agree

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 know, i agree!! they left out so much stuff, and changed everything... and in the movies harys eyes were BLUE!!! in the books theyre green, it says that ten bzillion times!! i mean, how hard is it to get green contact lenses? sorry, but that fact irritates me...
anyway, books are better馃槢

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.... 馃槙 馃槕 馃槙

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.

books are way better! I dont see why they detail the movies more i meant the second hp movie was like 2hrs. 20 min. LotR is like 3 hrs. each they could have easily made the hp movies like that.

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

really how? i thought the 5th book was really exciting. but the end i did not like very much...well i mean who died i did not like that.

i thought the 5th book was GREAT!!!!!!!!! (can't wait for the 6th one)

anyway........I agree that the the books are BETTER then the movies>!!!!!!

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. 馃槃 馃槺 馃槃 馃槺 馃槃 馃槺

i'm just dissapointed that rons brother didn't show up on the dragon to pig up norbert in the film

The books are way better then the movies i think. They leave out WAY to much stuff in the movies. but dont get me wrong, i still like watching them. 馃槃

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

Well, it鈥檚 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鈥檚 a lot about how Harry feels, what he thinks, contemplates and wonders about. It鈥檚 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.

i think movie one was better than book one but book 2 was much better than movie two....they left out too much

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.
