Books? Movie from book?

"The best seller Harry Potter has just been released on movies." Harry Potter is famous for both movie and the original books. However, they are slightly different. The original book version is better. The movie provides fun, but the books provide more details. Also, books can provide knowledge, while the movie reduces that knowledge to create entertainment for the viewers to watch. Lastly, the book gives unlimited imagination whereas the movie just produces images that blocks the imagination.

Primarily, the books are more important because they have more details than movies while movies provide just details about the character setting or plot. Thus, the readers can get a more specific image. However in the movie, they have only specific scenes with more broader details. For example, in the book, it said that "Sarah had plain green eyes with long eye lashes, and red lips. Also she had long curly blonde hair." However when the movie was made, the actor was a brown haired girl with blue eyes and it didn't provide any in depth details about that character It just show how the story was running. Therefore, because the book provide more careful details than movies, reading the original book is better than watching the movie adaptation.

Second, generally the books provide more knowledge than the movie, lots of parts are removed or replaced with other scenes to provide entertainment. Most of these parts are crucial or significant to the overall knowledge of the book. When watching movie to prevent from someone falling asleep, they take out all the boring parts, which usually are parts that contain knowledge. When I read the "Percy Jackson", there were a lot of stories about Greek/Roman myths and actually I really enjoyed it. It was like a background of the story and it was very important. However, when I watched the movie with anticipation, only the minor parts of the story comes out. Even though it's a myth, it was very educational. Like this example, the movie provides less knowledge than the books, so I believe that it is more necessary to read books.

Last but not least, the movie blocks people's imagination while the book provides unlimited imagination.When reading books, people meet the main characters visit places, everywhere such as ancient Greece or Olympus. However, when watching movies, they make a outline of what have to look like or the place. for example, "Percy Jackson" when reading book, I imagined Annabeth as a pretty girl, but she came out not that pretty so it ruined my imagination of the story. Thus the book is better than the movie version.





With these reasons I believe books are better than movies. The books may feel more uninteresting but once we enter the story, we are in other place, and also have more benfits than movies.
