This is a controversial question, and we cannot completely support one side. Let us discuss the points that make both better than each other. Harry Potter is an eight-part novel that is adapted into a movie. Let’s know more about Harry Potter Book vs Movie Which is Better.
People are in a dilemma about whether the movie is better than the book. Most people feel that the book is better, and some feel that the film is better. But there is no one answer to this question. If we have to find an answer for this we have to look into various aspects that make the book better than the film.
J. K. Rowling is the author of the seven books that were later adapted into a movie. Chris Columbus directed the first two parts of the movie, Alfonso Cuarón directed the third part of the movie, Mike Newell directed the fourth part of the movie, and David Yates directed from the fifth part to the eighth part of the movie.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2. These are the eight parts of Harry Potter.
Reasons why the book is better than the film
The book is more detailed, and all the characters are given importance in the book. But in the film due to time constrictions, they have cut more scenes. A few characters were not seen in the film, only the important characters are seen. One such character that is missing in the novel is mischievous poltergeist Peeves. On the other hand, the novel introduces new characters with detailing and importance.
The novel has a disadvantage when compared to the movie which is time. It is a terrific job that the film was supposed to show the whole 800-page book in two and a half hours. This may be the reason that the movie fails to show certain aspects that are seen in the novel.
In the novel, J.K. Rowling has given importance to the thoughts of Harry’s mind which lacks in the film. The film is an adaptation of the novel so all the aspects cannot be seen.
The novel is left to our imagination when we read it, and the movie is the reflection of it. Harry Potter film is a representation of the novel that is mere imagination.
Books are more engaging for the readers, and the movies were more engaging for the non-readers. Considerably, the books are better than the novel because it has more positive elements to make them better.
We have to accept the fact that the movie has beautifully replicated the novel to a great extent. Only in a few places, did it lag behind the books but in most of the places, it was almost equal to the book.
