@Rosie. Geee Same here!

The movie is what first made me a Harry Potter fan, and might be the piece of Harry Potter media I'm most nostalgic for, but I would say the book is superior. (I do still love the movie, though!)

I read the first three books before seeing their movies, but saw the fourth movie before reading the book..

I enjoyed the movies A LOT more when I knew the whole story.

I ended up reading the fifth through seventh books before seeing the other movies.. mainly because I wanted to know the story and had to wait too long for the movies..

But yeah- I enjoyed the movies MORE than the book, but only AFTER understanding the book.

Tagging is case sensitive. 😉

The book is definitely better, but it was one of the better movies. Since the book was shorter, the movie didn’t have to cut a lot out like the later movies did. That meant that the movie’s plot actually made sense. Chris Columbus is also just a much better director than David Yates.

@Icecreamdif If the HBO series has the production level of the movies, and all the content of the books... is this what fans have been asking for all these years? OR is it just another unoriginal cash grab remake by a company unwilling to take a risk on new stories and ideas?

Perhaps both..

@Icecreamdif Chris Columbus is my favourite of the movies' directors, because he did such a great job bringing the books to life on screen; "Stone" and "Chamber" are the most faithful to their book source, and I feel they're among the most faithful book-to-screen adaptations I've seen, of any movies!

It indeed could be both

But I will never entirely like the idea of a bully like Snape being Black-

When the series has progressed enough to be included in Polls like this one, and assuming it's been done well... do you ever see the majority of people voting the Series above the books and movies because it's the best of both?

Idk if I remember seeing such polls
