Ofcourse Harry Potter movies are better then Harry Potter Books because of all the special effects and magic which we can see instead of just reading it.

I love them both to tell you the truth but I enjoy reading them more. In your mind you get to picture everything the way you feel it should be. I think a lot of people already have in mind how the movies should be and when they watch them they seem to be unhappy if it's not how they see it should have played out or if something isn't how it should look to them. Don't get me wrong I do love them Movies and I enjoy them also but they are someone else's version of how things in Harry Potter's world should be. I think they (The movies and Books)are both good but I must say I love the books a little more.

They both have their pros and cons. In the book you have to read and pay close attention to the details, but in the movie you can see everything and take it all in. However, since movies can't be ten hours long, many things have to be cut out of the book. When you read the book, you get the full experience. And besides, while movies are great and a lot of fun, there's nothing like curling up with a good book. And besides, the more you read, the smarter you are, and the better writer you will be. I love to write, and that's probably because I've been reading so much from a very, very young age (before I began kindergarten). I think it's always better to read the book, but there's nothing wrong with seeing the movie. I mean, the movies are very good! But the books will always just be better.

watch the movies if you want to see the special effect , but for the story, you better read it. coz, the story in the movie is different with the story in the book. besides i think your imagination is wider than the movie :D

Both Book And Movies Are Class Apart. Book Gives EveryThing In Detail While The Movie Gives You The Liviness Of It Although Cut Short To Fit To Movie. So I Feel If You Love Reading Books Then Book Scores Over Movie And If You Dont Read Book Then The Movie Is Worth A Watch Especially For The Effects
