Re: Harry Potter

Post by afton_moye »

I've been re-reading the whole series during the holidays. I love the books and the movies. The books have so much more information and really insightful scenes that they could just not fit in the movies though, which is why I appreciate the books a bit more. Has anyone here been to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter ? I went to the one in Universal Studios Hollywood. It was indescribable to see such a significant part of my childhood come to life!

Nothing wrong with that, I think. I watched the first movie, and that got me interested in reading the books. I've been a fan since.

I read the books and haven't seen all of the movies (even though I own them all). My sister saw the movies but told me later that she didn't fully understand. Especially about the Death Eaters. I still prefer the books over every movies.

I'm not a fan of intense witchcraft genre. I have never sat down to watch to the end any of Harry Potter's movies.

You'll be surprised how much they cut out of the books then! I think you'll enjoy them :)

I have seen all HP movies and also read the HP books i find it that movies are just brief summaries of what books tell you if you get through the HP books you will feel more attached to the magical world what JK rowling has framed through her imagination.
At last always go through the books after or before watching movies on them.

I am proud to say I have read all the HP books. I do however need to read her other stuff about the HP world, such as Fantastic Beasts, Cursed Child etc. On the other hand, I am super excited they decided to have a part 2 of Fantastic Beasts! That movie was so awesome! I wish they had used that director for some of the HP movies though :eusa-whistle: :eusa-whistle: :eusa-whistle:

Without a doubt, you should read the books. I have seen the movies several times and I have read the books many times and the books are much better :techie-studyingbrown:

I absolutely love Harry Potter. The universe is simply magical and engaging. I've seen the movies too, and I've read every fanfiction that ever existed during teenage years, haha.

I have read a book of Harry Potter but I must say I am more than satisfied by watching the movies instead because it is much more fun watching it especially the effects they uses is so amzaing. .I can feel more the magic and by the way all of the sequence I have watch it for a couple of times and I will never get tired of watching it all over again. .the scenes on this movie are really awesome. . so magical it really makes me feel and believe that spells and magic are true. .I just love Harry Potter😘
