Books, of course! The movies are NEVER as good as the book.
-
The books, because I can make everyone and everything look as I want it to. After the movies came out, all I can see in my mind when I read the books are those people, and the way everything else looks in the movies.
-
Both AWSOME
-
BOOKS!
-
they are both pretty good but the books have more flavor
-
I can go my whole lifetime without seeing the movies, but the books are indispensible.
-
I like the movies better. I get bored reading the books.
-
ive started reading them after seeing the films, and have to say that i prefer them in print.
-
The books, although I am not a big fan of either to be honest. I enjoyed reading the first few books but have gone off the series more recently. I have seen all of the films (I think) and I thought they were awful. I don't really know why I keep going to see them :S.
-
Books, though I think the films do a pretty good job of representing them. The books will always be better, as tends to be the case with most book vs. film debates.
-
Not only Harry Potter. Every film I've ever seen that was based on a book that I had read was less enjoyable than the book. Probably because reading a book employs your imagination more and you visualise the characters and the scenery, etc, becoming more personally involved. Sometimes the fact that a character or place isn't as you had imagined can be quite distracting, although I must say that I thought the casting of all the characters in the HP films was first-rate.
-
I have both! Love Harry!
-
Altough it was *nice* to see the books made into a movie nothing could ever compare to the books. Also all of the movies left out SO much that is really essential to the HP world.
-
books!!!!!!!!!!! the film are good in their own right but nothing compared to the books
-
I love em both! Each brings about the story in delightful ways. I'm more of a reader than a watcher and it has been proven true that books are most times better than the movies but the movies bring all the images in my head to life! They breathe and if well written etc as The Lord of The Rings...Oh they come to life! the movie was magnificant!!! How do you really choose????
-
Books
-
I've only ever seen the movies. Never read one of the books. They're okay. Hermione's a bit of a spunk eh?
-
Harry Potter Books because the books are so much better and have much more detail in them.
-
books, because my own fantasy is much better than that shown in the movies.
-
Definitely the books. Although the movies are awsome. They make even more sense if you read the books. This is especially true for books 4, 5, 6, and 7. They are so long, there is no way to get it all in a movie.
-
They left so much out in the movies and the books last longer for hours of entertainment. Definitely the Harry Potter books.
-
Books. The movies are very good, especially for how long the books are. But, the books are still better.
-
A movie is never as good as a good book, but a bad book normally can have a movie that's better, so it works out weird that way. For example, Starship Troopers, good book, terrible movie.
-
Even though the movies have been done fairly well, I would always choose the books over the movies.
-
Movies The books don't make sense to me. I couldn't even get through the first page of the first book! Plus, I don't really like fantasy, magic, or in other words, fiction books. I like to read non-fiction and adventure books...
-
Books. They explain so much more, and their fun to read.
-
Harry Potter - Books The Lord of the Rings - books Anything else I can think of - books I think books give your imagination free rein and very often some of the characters as portrayed in films or TV adaptations don't mirror the character your imagination had conjured up. I find this quite distracting. Plus, in order to fit a movie into a certain time span, bits get missed out.
-
Neither
-
it really depends on your taste and to me the movies and books true are both along the lines theyre harry potter but the movies are the movies and the books are the books.
-
BOOKS!!!!!
-
The books are a million times better!
-
As much as I love the movies and get extremely excited when they are due to come out, you just can't go past the books.
-
Oh reading the books are far better than watching the movies...the movies, while having a few good good moments, certainly come nowhere near the quality the books exert. There is far too much left out of the movies for my liking.
-
The books were better, but the movies are fun too. Especially in IMAX 3D.
-
Books, definately. Did anyone notice that they completely left Lily out of the last movie? The movie producers now have a gaping hole in the plot.
-
Books!!
-
Books! Books are most always better than the films. Films have a time constraint to some degree so a lot has to be left out, plus, reading requires using the imagination a good bit more and that to me makes it more fun.
-
I liked the movies better
-
Books. Too much is cut out or changed in the movies!
-
BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
both. because when i read a book and get to know what a character looks like i never really get a clear image in my head of what there face looks like so when i reread the books now i think of the characters from the movie and its more enjoyabe for me .
-
BOOKS! They butchered the fifth book.
-
books.:-)+
-
NO MOVIES...EVER! Only the books over & over again!
-
Have to have the books! I like the richness of detail and incident in the books. Movies are great, and I loved the HP movies, but the HP books cause readers' imagination to catch fire. The movies sorta do all that FOR you, and then it's all over in a couple of hours. Movies are a different kind of fun - hard to compare when the same story is told both ways.
-
books
-
Books! There's so many details and twists that they'll never be able to include in the movies. I was they had never been made, when I imagine most of the characters, I keep thinking of the characters as they look in the movies, and I would prefer my own imagination..
-
books by far
-
BOOKS BOOKS BOOKS BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they are 100 times better than the movies, altho i will say daniel radcliffe is a hottie.
-
Harry potter books are obviously better than the movies.i have noticed that nearly all books are better than movies.Nevertheless,the movies are great too.
-
The books are so much better than the movies.
-
The books. By and far the books.
-
the movies i was never into harry potter i couldnt read the books its really just not what i like but atleast in the movies theres pretty things to look at
-
Didn't like the films, they ruined it for me. I saw the first and walked out of the second. In my head none of them looked like that. The books.
-
Nothing can top the Harry Potter books, and that includes the movies ya'll! Though I do love them :). They both have this really comforting feel to them.
-
Books, naturally.
-
Books of course
-
dumb question man the books by farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
-
BOTHHHH. They're amazing, I love Harry P.! Woo!
-
I like both, but I love the books better because they go in depth about the story. I can't wait for the next movie to come out in July. I'm impatient! lol
-
Definitely the books. The movies are so off track now that I don't know how they'll ever get them back on track.
-
I think Harry Potter books are really good, but, I'm not that into them (too old, I guess). They go on and on forever as they progress, to where I just lose interest and read the beginning and the end. So I catch up on the movies, because it is a pretty good story in all.
-
the books are always better than the movie
-
I like the movies because i can't be fucked with reading the books.
-
I water both of it so it doesn't matter really LOL
-
I like to read the books and watch the movies. It's a really good film franchise.
-
books are better but i enjoyed the movies
-
Harry Potter books. The movies, as nice as they are, don't fulfill all the expectations you get from reading the book, and they're nowhere near as complete either. Lots of things get cut out that would be fantastic to see, and sometimes the movies have inconsistancies. In the first one in particular, when Harry is figuring out that the dragon egg was part of the bribe, he says that Hagrid had told him he wanted a dragon the first time he had ever met him, but if you go back you have to go to the deleted scenes to actually see that part of the puzzle.
-
oh the books by far. The movies are good but the books blow the movies right outta the water.
-
Definitely movies I prefer to watch things as my time is limited and I have no patience. Yes I am easily distracted as well. I did however watch the half blood prince online and omg let me tell you it was awesome. I loved it. Anyway if you want to watch it I found it here http://bestmoviesfree.com/5/ Let me know what you think.
-
The books
-
Neither one
-
That's like asking me which is better mud or platium. The books. The movies, while being really fun to watch, don't really capture the scope and character development that the books have. Not to mention all the cool stuff they leave out and the (dare I say it) stupid stuff that didn't need to be in the movies in the first place.
-
After seeing the last one, neither one of them.
-
Books because my friend said that the movie was boring but I haven't watched or read
-
defiantly the books, but I love the movies too
