- Latest Review: Killing Abel by Michael Tieman
The book is basically written like a school text book menagerie of beasts and animals and how to recognize, subdue, and safely capture them if necessary. It has the added touch of Harry, Ron, and other characters' notes that are often off topic just like kids do in their own school books. It's cute and entertaining, but there's no story to speak of.
On the other hand, the movie is a completely new story set in 1920's NY starring the author of the text book and will at some point show him publishing that book I would assume. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was because the text book gave no clues as to what the story or characters would be like. The movie's script was also released and this is basically like reading a play of the film with set and character descriptions and deleted scenes. It will spoil the entire film if you read it first, but it's your choice.

- Latest Review: Color Me American by Silvia Sama-Lambiv
The book is interesting but there's no story. So it's really not comparable to the movie.
The movie was just okay. I didn't really feel a connection to any of the characters, at least in the same way as the other HP movies. It's unfair since I was allowed that connection with Harry, Ron, Hermione and co. with some of the books being released before the movies, but I just expected to feel that connection again. I also felt like the American magical world was pretty lame in comparison with the British one. But that's just my opinion! I also thought they relied way too much on CGI (which is understandable but took away from the storytelling). That being said, I absolutely adored the nifflers.
