I just knew I had to write this लेख after seeing a lot of प्रशंसकों debating on the topic:
"Are the पुस्तकें या फिल्में better?"
So first of all, my प्यार for Harry Potter didn't start from the books. My mother kept recommending them to me, but I was younger when the पुस्तकें came out first. That days, I always judged a book द्वारा its cover. So when I saw a बिना सोचे समझे boy with a scar on his forehead standing and 7 पुस्तकें about him, I said, "Mom, stop. I don't wanna read it, I feel like it won't be interesting,"
My mom कहा ok, and we left the bookshop. But from that दिन on, my फ्रेंड्स 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 फ्रेंड्स were potterheads and I knew I had to learn it, so the अगला दिन me and my sister started watching Harry Potter.
My English wasn't that good, and we opened the फिल्में in English. I couldn't get a thing from Harry Potter. What is the purpose and आप 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 फिल्में 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 फिल्में but I kinda got the wizarding world and the कल्पना JKR made just amazed me! Plus, I related to Hermione a lot, so I bought thousands of Hermione stuff.
I kept पढ़ना fanfics on the internet, watched the फिल्में a thousand times again and again, and finally became a potterhead. I couldn't live a दिन without thinking of the फिल्में lol.
Since I read a lot of fanfics and liked the first फिल्में 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 और 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 फिल्में and they got me in the potter world I couldn't think the पुस्तकें 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 दिन I started पढ़ना the books, I finished them all in a week. Ofc, I'm still periodically पढ़ना them because they are my fav books! So I just preferred the books, still do. First of all, the पुस्तकें explained everything in details, and made everything clear that were mixed up in movies. For example, I missed why Dobby was saved and while पढ़ना the पुस्तकें it turned out Lucius threw the मौज़ा, जुर्राब 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 पुस्तकें but disliked him in the movies) and Hermione became my प्रिय character. I like Snape और in फिल्में and same for Ginny (even though I dislike both Ginny's) and its just it.
Just a small problem: since I watched the फिल्में 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 फिल्में he is a brunette. In the books, Harry has green eyes and Ginny has brown eyes, in फिल्में they have both blue.
Not counting that appearance detail, the पुस्तकें are better for me. Just an opinion :)
C'ya !
