I just knew I had to write this 기사 after seeing a lot of 팬 debating on the topic:

"Are the 책 또는 영화 better?"

So first of all, my 사랑 for Harry Potter didn't start from the books. My mother kept recommending them to me, but I was younger when the 책 came out first. That days, I always judged a book 의해 its cover. So when I saw a 랜덤 boy with a scar on his forehead standing and 7 책 about him, I said, "Mom, stop. I don't wanna read it, I feel like it won't be interesting,"

My mom said ok, and we left the bookshop. But from that 일 on, my 프렌즈 started watching Harry Potter like crazy. I was left out because I didn't even know a word they were saying. Who the heck is Voldemort? What is a "muggle"? My best 프렌즈 were potterheads and I knew I had to learn it, so the 다음 일 me and my sister started watching Harry Potter.

My English wasn't that good, and we opened the 영화 in English. I couldn't get a thing from Harry Potter. What is the purpose and 당신 might find this funny but Minerva was scaring me. At the first scenes I quickly shut the TV, and didn't watch the movie for YEARS.

Uhh well.. One day, I thought I was enough grown up for the series to not scare me, and I opened them. The 영화 were amazing and as a stupid kid I couldn't help but have a crush on Harry-sorry about that. I still didn't get some parts of the 영화 but I kinda got the wizarding world and the 판타지 JKR made just amazed me! Plus, I related to Hermione a lot, so I bought thousands of Hermione stuff.
I kept 읽기 fanfics on the internet, watched the 영화 a thousand times again and again, and finally became a potterhead. I couldn't live a 일 without thinking of the 영화 lol.

Since I read a lot of fanfics and liked the first 영화 the most that days, I shipped Hermione and Harry. My opinion hasn't still changed though, but that's not the point. When I learned Ginny and Harry were together, I was in shock. Plus in many 더 많이 reasons, (mostly the hermione x harry ruining) I started to dislike Ginny.

That's when people started to force me to read the books, and since I watched the 영화 and they got me in the potter world I couldn't think the 책 were better. And I knew I had to read them because people wouldn't accept me as a Potter head.

But I am a big bookworm, and the 일 I started 읽기 the books, I finished them all in a week. Ofc, I'm still periodically 읽기 them because they are my fav books! So I just preferred the books, still do. First of all, the 책 explained everything in details, and made everything clear that were mixed up in movies. For example, I missed why Dobby was saved and while 읽기 the 책 it turned out Lucius threw the 양말 and Dobby caught it, since Lucius threw it, Dobby was free.

And I didn't get the scary soul-suckers and what they were doing in Hogwarts. But in the books, its clearly explained that the dementors came all the way from Azkaban to protect the building from Sirius, but got to the Dark Lord's way later.

Through books, I managed to like characters better ( for example I loved Ron in the 책 but disliked him in the movies) and Hermione became my 가장 좋아하는 character. I like Snape 더 많이 in 영화 and same for Ginny (even though I dislike both Ginny's) and its just it.

Just a small problem: since I watched the 영화 first, I imagined the character appearances in the movie, though in the book most didn't match. In the book, Hermione has big front teeth, in movies, she's perfect. In the book, Dudley is blond, in the 영화 he is a brunette. In the books, Harry has green eyes and Ginny has brown eyes, in 영화 they have both blue.

Not counting that appearance detail, the 책 are better for me. Just an opinion :)

C'ya !
