Should I Bother Reading The Harry Potter Books 3 Years After The Films Ended

You prefer reading books or watching the films eg[harry potter]?

The books and the movies are the same story but are completely different. For one the books are written by J.K Rowling, the films are made by Hollywood. The books are long and go into depth about the wizarding world, characters and Voldemort himself. Everyone of the films skips key scenes (particularly the 6th) and characters all together. (Peeves, Augusta Longbottom etc) I urge you to read Harry Potter. Watch the movies all you want, but without reading the books your really just watching a summarized version of Potter. Hogwarts is such an amazing creation, id rather spend 400 pages there then an hour and a half.

Should I read the Harry Potter Books?

The Harry Potter books are brilliant, and in my opinion much better than the movies. There is a lot of information left out in the movies, and there are some things in the movies that they never actually answered, such as, where did Harry get the shard of the two-way mirror in Deathly Hallows? The movies left out tons and tons of little details like that that make me think the movies would be very confusing to watch if you haven't read the books.

I have reread all of the Harry Potter books several times, and I have never lost interest. I've read them about once a year every year since I was twelve. There are new details in there that you may not have noticed the first time reading them, and it adds so much to it, making the entire series even more interesting yet again. Plus, JK Rowling is the Queen of Foreshadowing, which means that when you reread the books, you'll see all these little hints that you hadn't noticed before of what is going to happen later on. It's so amazing to sit back and realize how much planning must have gone into this!

And there's so much more that you get to see of the characters. For example, something that was never mentioned in the movies but was huge in the books, Hermione created a little organization called S.P.E.W. which stands for the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare, and it turns out to be a big thing in bringing Ron and Hermione together as a couple in Deathly Hallows. There's just so much more to the story of the Golden Trio that you never get to see in the movies.

Long story short, I highly highly highly *highly* recommend you read the Harry Potter books. They are, without a doubt, my favorite series of books ever.

Can you watch the Harry Potter films without reading the book?

Should I read the Harry Potter books?

Yes, but if your busy be warned. Once I read one word from the first book, I seriously finished half the series that week. (HBP and DH weren't availible to me at that time it was agesssssss ago).
The first starts off slow but I promise you gets intense later. The second one begins with some humor and it's kind of like a mystery.
The third one, a lot of people say is the best. You have to read it to find out :D.
The fourth one is great too. A LOT of things happen there (so of course they screwed up the movie)
Ditto for the fifth. Longer though, but more humorous and darker.
The sixth one, you HAVE to read now that you saw the movie because they butchered the movie so bad that you have to read the book so you know what you missed.
The seventh is self-explanatory. The final installment, it has it all- humor, action, tears, drama, and of course, magic.

The people on here who say it sucks and is boring probably wouldn't know a good book if it hit them in the head. They should go back to reading their Junie B. Jones books.

Please do not listen to that chick who told you to read Twilight, once I read one word from the first book I had to excuse myself and vomit.

Hi is it worth reading Happy Potter books?

properly, even nevertheless I do want Harry to stay i'm additionally bored with the main important hero consistently surviving the in basic terms precise conflict between good and evil. I recommend, in maximum books/memories you be responsive to that hero WILL stay to tell the tale. so a procedures as HP is going I nevertheless won't be ready to tell if he will die or no longer. i'm particular Voldemort will die yet i won't be ready to tell for particular approximately Harry. i think of it rather is greater effective this style. regardless of if he dies, i will in all probability cry my eyes out, yet I thinkit heavily isn't a bad ending. so a procedures, Rowling has shown that good characters can die too and not in basic terms the undesirable ones. it is extremely uncommon in maximum little ones books. and don't get me incorrect, I hate it whilst the characters i admire die, yet properly, it is likewise somewhat boring analyzing a narrative and being one hundred% particular that yeah, the hero will certainly win andcome out of it alive.

Should I read the Harry Potter books again?

First, concentrate on exams, give your best shot and be totally free in mind.Next, grab Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, read and understand and go on to the movie.Similarly, read books and go for movies simultaneously! I ask you to read books first because books have so much more to offer as compared to the movies. Taking your base as books, you'll understand how or why the plot line goes as such; while if you watch the movies first, you'll feel like you are reading on the basis of what happens in the movie and you won't understand half of what happens in books. Taking my advice, I'll always suggest you to read books first.Consequently, you can read all books at a time, and then go for movies, that been said, I guess it won't make a difference.And yes, one more advice - Do not start reading from the Goblet of Fire, because as you said you don't remember most of it, it will not help you at any cost, rather mismatch whatever you read or see further on.

I stopped reading Harry Potter in the middle of the 5th book should I bother to finish the series if I know the ending?

Couple of years ago, I started watching a TV show. 3 episodes in, I gave up. A friend of mine, who loves that show, told me something very interesting happens at the end of the first season.So I watched a couple more episodes, and then I gave up again. It didn’t interest me at all to keep going on with it.Honestly, if someone is interested in watching or reading or doing anything, they will follow through with it. They won’t rely on asking others if it’s worth the time or not.Would you go ahead and read the last chapter of a new book just to decide if you want to read the rest of it?So no, I don’t think you should bother finishing the series, since you don’t really care about the series till that point. It doesn’t interest you, so let it be.It would be better if you spent your time reading something that interests you enough to follow through. If you think you are missing out on finding out how the journey proceeds, read it, otherwise find something better to do with your time.Should I read the Harry Potter series considering the fact that I have already seen the movies numerous times?

I’ve watched all the Harry Potter films but never read the books, are they worth reading since I already know the outcome to the franchise?

Absolutely. The Harry Potter Universe is so packed with lore, ideas and experiences that it is completely impossible to completely grasp it by just watching the movies.To begin with, the characters. In the movies, Ronald Weasly is kind of mean, kind of funny, not as close to Harry as he should be as his friend and he stays this way throughout all 8 movies. He shouldn’t be Harry’s best friend and he DEFINITELY doesn’t deserve to have Hermione as his girlfriend. In the books, he sticks with Harry continuously and helps him whenever he can, he has a distinct character arc and you can see him be kind and gentle with Hermione.Case and point:Peeves is also a great element of Harry’s time at Hogwarts, and the poltergeist is displayed throughout the books as a side character, and completely removed through the films. I just feel like he should have been added into the movies somehow.The level of detail is also highly missed in the movies, as the film directors just didn’t have time to fit in all the detail from the books. One example being the school supply list in the second book, showing all the books by Gilderoy Lockhart. As we later find out that he is the teacher, this instantly sets up and paves the way for his character, an ego-centrical braggart, who loves himself more than anyone. Another thing is the Fantastic Beasts series. The book Newt Scamander is writing in the movie series is called ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’, and the readers of the books know that this will be published and shown on one of Harry’s school booklist, page 53 of Philosophers Stone.The last thing and in my opinion, the most important, is the level of sass displayed by each of the characters throughout the books. The iconic - “There’s no need to call me Sir, Professor’ was a display of sarcasm that the movies completely missed, and showed how Harry was also impressively witty, not just brave and kind. It highlighted the quick witted nature of him, given to him from James. Professor McGonagall was also incredibly sassy with amazing quotes to Dolores Umbridge, Cornelius Fudge, and at one point in the books she helped Peeves unscrew a chandelier! She could have been so much better than the way they portrayed her in the movies.

Read harry potter after reading twilight???

Judging by your ability to actually ask a question without fragments, run-ons, improper capitalization, or any other defining mark of what might force me to think of you as a screaming, overly-emotional teenage girl, I would have to say no. The only reasons anyone who is not an overly-emotional teenage girl would read the Twilight series are: to prove to him or herself that those books are actually fit to manure a garden with; because he or she revels in disappointment; to at least be able to follow along when friends are discussing how much they love fictional characters and desire them to be real; or because he or she feels that his or her IQ is too high as it is, and could therefore do with being lowered a good 30 points. And, before you think me an uninformed individual who merely has it out for the daydreamers of my own generation, let me point out that I have read Harry Potter, have an IQ of 148, have read with college-level comprehension since elementary school, am 17, and, though I will only admit it here where my anonymity is certain, have read all the Twilight series. I therefore speak with more authority than others here, perhaps. However, if your heart is set on this, read them by all means. Do be aware that they have nothing on Harry Potter and you will find the plot shallow after HP's brilliance and depth, and be warned against letting your emotions get the best of you. That is how they became so famous, after all. Best of luck to you in your search for worthier reading, though.
