I just knew I had to write this Статья after seeing a lot of Фаны debating on the topic:

"Are the Книги или Фильмы better?"

So first of all, my Любовь for Harry Potter didn't start from the books. My mother kept recommending them to me, but I was younger when the Книги came out first. That days, I always judged a book by its cover. So when I saw a Болталка boy with a scar on his forehead standing and 7 Книги about him, I said, "Mom, stop. I don't wanna read it, I feel like it won't be interesting,"

My mom сказал(-а) ok, and we left the bookshop. But from that день on, my Друзья started watching Harry Potter like crazy. I was left out because I didn't even know a word they were saying. Who the heck is Voldemort? What is a "muggle"? My best Друзья were potterheads and I knew I had to learn it, so the Далее день me and my sister started watching Harry Potter.

My English wasn't that good, and we opened the Фильмы in English. I couldn't get a thing from Harry Potter. What is the purpose and Ты might find this funny but Minerva was scaring me. At the first scenes I quickly shut the TV, and didn't watch the movie for YEARS.

Uhh well.. One day, I thought I was enough grown up for the series to not scare me, and I opened them. The Фильмы were amazing and as a stupid kid I couldn't help but have a crush on Harry-sorry about that. I still didn't get some parts of the Фильмы but I kinda got the wizarding world and the Фэнтези JKR made just amazed me! Plus, I related to Hermione a lot, so I bought thousands of Hermione stuff.
I kept Чтение fanfics on the internet, watched the Фильмы a thousand times again and again, and finally became a potterhead. I couldn't live a день without thinking of the Фильмы lol.

Since I read a lot of fanfics and liked the first Фильмы the most that days, I shipped Hermione and Harry. My opinion hasn't still changed though, but that's not the point. When I learned Ginny and Harry were together, I was in shock. Plus in many еще reasons, (mostly the hermione x harry ruining) I started to dislike Ginny.

That's when people started to force me to read the books, and since I watched the Фильмы and they got me in the potter world I couldn't think the Книги were better. And I knew I had to read them because people wouldn't accept me as a Potter head.

But I am a big bookworm, and the день I started Чтение the books, I finished them all in a week. Ofc, I'm still periodically Чтение them because they are my fav books! So I just preferred the books, still do. First of all, the Книги explained everything in details, and made everything clear that were mixed up in movies. For example, I missed why Dobby was saved and while Чтение the Книги it turned out Lucius threw the носок and Dobby caught it, since Lucius threw it, Dobby was free.

And I didn't get the scary soul-suckers and what they were doing in Hogwarts. But in the books, its clearly explained that the dementors came all the way from Azkaban to protect the building from Sirius, but got to the Dark Lord's way later.

Through books, I managed to like characters better ( for example I loved Ron in the Книги but disliked him in the movies) and Hermione became my Избранное character. I like Snape еще in Фильмы and same for Ginny (even though I dislike both Ginny's) and its just it.

Just a small problem: since I watched the Фильмы first, I imagined the character appearances in the movie, though in the book most didn't match. In the book, Hermione has big front teeth, in movies, she's perfect. In the book, Dudley is blond, in the Фильмы he is a brunette. In the books, Harry has green eyes and Ginny has brown eyes, in Фильмы they have both blue.

Not counting that appearance detail, the Книги are better for me. Just an opinion :)

C'ya !
