Let's begin:
Books are the best thing ever. They are better than movies and TV shows but they also are very special. Books are ours when we read them read we decide what characters look like, we decide more about them. There is an aurora of creativity to books because we have more creativity with them. Movies/ TV shows don't have that some creativity what you see is what you get.
My friend and I love discussing books and we both love a lot of the same. For example we both love The Fault in Our Stars but how I imagine Augustus Waters is different from how she imagines him. Though what we think is different it makes it better. In the long run some of our favourite books are becoming movies and that creativity of how we imagine characters will vanish.
When I read the Harry Potter books. I would read a book then I would watch the movie (I became a Potterhead kinda late into the fandom) though I would see the characters from the movie in my head sometimes. I would still go back to the first book to see how they characters are described so I could imagine them how I wanted to not how the movie portrayed them.

What are you thoughts on books or movies?

Great post Jane! For me it depends, but I think books are way better than movies or t.v shows most of the time :D

It depends for more too but overall I like books more.
DeleteI agree with what you're saying! It especially ruins the book if the characters you imagined in your head look nothing even remotely to the actors on screen! I do think they did a good job casting Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson though! They really do resemble the descriptions of the characters in the books! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post! :D
The Harry Potter movie casting was perfect! Especially Luna :)
DeleteThanks!
