Which is the best Book or Film?

I personally like both but I prefer the movie.

i personally like only the movies, i dont like reading story books,, i am a techno craft....i dont read story books often, but i see all the movies..
i have seen all the 6 parts of harry potter..
my favorites are Goblet of fire and order of phoenix..
i liked the film, Snape(Half blood Prince)

I personally liked the book more than the movies. Also because I had read the books before seeing the movies. And also everything is so nicely explained in the books while in the movies everythings can not be covered in 1-2 hours. It is too difficult. Among the movies I liked the first one "The Sorcerer's stone" the best.

I prefer the books, i think they provide a much more involed experiance than the films. Also there is so much more content that the films just miss out.

I enjoyed reading the book series compared to the movie. However, when i got to watch the movies as well, i can say i can appreciate the movie more and understand what's with all those scenes and series of events. I can say that, since I read the book first, before watching the movie...the book is more detailed, of course. I enjoyed both.=)

My favorite book has always been the Half Blood Prince so I was extremely excited about this year's movie. But I was a little disappointed with the film, probably because my expectations were so high. It's not because it didn't stay true to the book, in a way it probably did too much. I found myself getting bored with many scenes, a friend of mine even fell asleep. Up till now my favorite film has to be Prisoner of Azkaban. From what I have read around the forums, I think there is a split in the fandom, either you really love it or you hate it. I really like what the director did with it. There is an artistic value in the film, while still staying true to the tone of the book. I never get bored rewatching Azkaban.

i prefer the book. But after seeing the movie and while reading the book it looks more adventeurous as we able to imagine what the writer is going to say about the magic world

I like both! But of course, the book always give me the details that I need to fully comprehend the film. I like the book because it made me imagine to great heights and it keeps my love of reading in its peak. I love the film because I see the characters in action and it was very stimulating visually. If I have to choose between the books, I'll pick Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azakaban, i don't know why but it had captured my heart more than the others, in the film series, i believe that the first one is the best, maybe because it was my first time to see Diagon Alley or to see a person as big as Hagrid or to see owls bringing mails or to see people plunging in track 3 1/4 and so many others.

Anyway, I believe that Harry Potter will be classic, books and films both.

The books, of course. Every detail is there and you can understand their emotions more as it is narrated in the book.
