I only read the the first one so far, loved it. Liked the book much better than the movie because it\'s your imagination creating the characters, not the hollywood geeks.



Truth to that. Nothing can be an imagination.

Well that cancels out about 80% ofthe greatest movies of all time.

Sounds like Fred is a romantic comedy kind of guy.

well im glad to see there are hp fans on this board.  I too feel that the books are better than the movies, have you ever seen a movie that was better than the book that preceeded(is this even a word?) it.  THe third movie was by far the best, the visual style that cuaron brought to the series was great.  I dont know who is doin the fourth movie, but it seems as though it will follow suit and be the best thus far as each movie was better than the one before it.  Anybody goin to the midnight sale in a month for the 6th book?

Very true. I can\'t think of one movie that was better then the book. I am reading Stephen Kings Misery right now and that movie, is excellent but his writing style is captivating.

all movies (in english) are better than their respective book counterparts because you don\'t have to read them. ;)

Honestly, I have never seen a movie that was better than the book.

A couple of close ones that come to mind:
A Civil Action
Jurassic Park

i have never read a harry potter book or seen one of the movies
i think all that the harry potter hype is kind of cheesy...

as for movies that are better than books, here are some toughies:

one flew over the cuckoo\'s nest (ken kesey) then made into movie with jack nicholson

the shining (stephen king)

can\'t decide if the movie/book is better
