Good thoughts, Liz! I agree. I think it’s great when a movie entices someone to go read the source material. For me, though, I’m too impatient to read a book if I already know the ending. I think that’s where I fall short with LOTR. I admit it’s a character flaw

Hi Jeyna,

Thanks for dropping by:) I have to be honest, I saw the first six movies before reading the books, and I honestly didn’t know what the heck was going on most of the time. I always had to ask my wife (who read the books as they were released) what was going on. Now that I’ve read the entire series, things make SOOOOO much more sense!

Books are definitely better than films, no doubt there. On top of that, the HP films are not very specific, that viewers who have not read the books tend to get a little confuse. SO how can one actually enjoy the story if they are confuse?

Like most things in life, it depends. For me I saw the first Harry Potter movie back in 7th grade and absolutely loved it, so I sought out the books to get even more from the story. I then got the rest of the series and as each movie came out would go and see it, proceeding to be disappointed with all but two. I think if one is interested enough in the story after seeing the movie they would desire to know more and therefore would read the book. I did the same thing after seeing the first Twilight movie and I also saw Animal Farm before reading the book. There needs to be a couriosity to know more or have more I think.

My guess is that what we watched turned out to be blended reality and implanted memories.
