Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is part of the Harry Potter series written by J.K. Rowling. This book is also the inspiration for the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, a film directed by David Yates. Both the film and novel focus around a young wizard fighting against a darker force of evil, The Dark Lord, aka Lord Voldemort. The series is an adventure through Harry’s years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and how the threat of the Dark Lord hovers over the wizarding world. However, despite both the film and novel covering the same topic. The final film has many differences compared to the novel that have made themselves so obvious on the screen many have spoken of it, such as Harry’s and Voldemort’s final battle, Lord Voldemort’s death, and how the Elder wand was disposed of. In the novel, the final battle was a closing point for many of the unclosed points brought up in the series. It was the point where readers finally understood what Harry had fought so hard for throughout much of the book. Harry faced Voldemort alone in the Great Hall with a crowd surrounding them but not interfering. Throughout the battle that the two wizards were preparing themselves for, they were, “moving sideways, both of them, in that perfect circle, maintaining the same distance from each other, and for Harry, no face existed but Voldemort’s” (Rowling 738). Both of them were so focused on each other that they could only focus on each other. Both were so rapt to each
The Wizard of Oz, written by L. Frank Baum was published on May 17, 1900, and the original movie was made in 1939 (produced by Mervyn LeRoy). Both the book and movie are similar. The story is about a little girl named Dorothy who is carried away from home by a cyclone. She ends up in the land of the Munchkins where she meets little people and a witch. Once she meets the witch she is told that in order for her to get back home she has to go to the Emerald City to speak to Oz. On her journey to Oz she meets three characters: the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion. These three characters also want something from Oz. The Scarecrow wants a brain, the Tin Man wants a heart, and the Cowardly Lion wants courage. Although the book and the
One of the hardest things for a director to do is to turn a book into a movie. There is a fine line between keeping the movie just like the book, and by barely crossing that line you can end up making a completely different vision than the book has set out for you. There are also many viewers out there that will completely hate the movie if it is nothing like the book that they read originally. The director has to realize that although there are many different types of audiences to please, that it still has to be a great movie that people cannot stop talking about.
The title of my book is Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. It is written by J.K. Rowling. I really liked this book. This book is a fiction book. That of course means it’s not true.
The book starts with the students, Harry, Ron, and, Hermione going back to Hogwarts after summer vacation. Voldemort is free and is wreaking havoc throughout the wizarding world. Dumbledore has a plan, but first he must inform Harry of Voldemort’s past. Throughout the story the trio finds out who the half-blood prince is and discover ways to defeat Voldemort. His soul is connected to his Horcruxes. By destroying Voldemort’s Horcruxes they are destroying parts of his soul, which is the only way to defeat him. Harry believes that Snape is working for Voldemort, but no one believes him.
My book report is on the book 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone' by J.K.
The Fahrenheit 451 is a novel published in 1953 by a writer known as Ray Bradbury. The book is regarded as one of the writer’s best works as a novelist. In the book, the writer presents a future American society where there is no freedom or democracy. This is shown through an act where books are outlawed and in a case where they are found they are to be burnt by ‘firemen’. The society is obsessed with the mass media and driving fast cars. The main characters in the book are Guy Montag, Clarisse McClellan, and Beatty. The genre of the book is based on science fiction.
In the book, Max dreams of fighting Hitler, while in the movie Max does not have such a dream.
Starting with the similarities, the first similarity between the book and the movie are the characters. For example, in both the book and movie, Chingachgook is a Native American, and he has a tomahawk. Hawkeye is a white man. He appears to have a knife and buckskin leggings also. The last of the the examples of the character similarities are Alice and Cora. The two are sisters, and Alice is the younger sister. As you can see from these examples, the characters do have similarities in both the book and movie.
There is a sport in the magical world of Harry Potter called Quidditch. Harry ends up playing of the Quidditch team as a seeker, which is a player who finds a tiny, gold ball that flies through the air and the seeker must catch it in order to win the match. The Quidditch match in the film is an exhilarating part of the film. The entire school is at the match to watch the games. The crowd is excited which excites the audience watching.
A movie that came out in 2002 was Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. This movie was based off the best-selling novel, which was written in 1997 by J.K. Rowling, called Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. If you were to read this book and watch the movie you would find many differences, but the main difference between the two is that the book gives more information to the reader than the movie gives to the viewer. If someone was to watch the movie instead of reading the book, that person would not be able to have an accurate perception of the book because so many things in the book are changed in the movie or parts are left out of the movie completely. This is mainly because the book has more characters and chapters, which are
In the previous century there have been two major series of fantasy novels; "Lord of the Rings" and more recently "Harry Potter". The genre, fantasy, is very broad, but generally contains one main character, the protagonist, who is fighting for, or against something, often against evil. In both these novels the main protagonist is fighting against evil and endures a kind of adventure and personal growth. As in most fantasy novels, the main characters are in an ulterior world, which is comparable in many ways. I intend to investigate into some of the many comparable components of these two novels.
Low key lighting and odd camera angles are used in this part of the film while Harry searches for the Sorcerer’s stone and battles Voldemort. There is a slight horror aspect to the following scenes as Harry deals with the antagonist of the film, Voldemort. Horror is a genre that aims to create a sense of fear, panic, and dread for the audience. These films are often unsettling and rely on scaring the audience through a portrayal of their worst fears and nightmares. As we grow to love Harry and realize his biggest fear is the man who killed his parents and also him, and then are forced to watch him return this brings horror into the mix as a sub-genre.
Harry Potter has lots of differences between the movies and books. Even if they may appear similar on the surface, they are very dissimilar once you look beyond the outer similarities. The best movie/book to contrast is the first movie of the deathly hallows and the book, mainly because it has the greatest similarities between the book and the movies. The possible reason why the movie has the least amount of major differences is because, It was split into two parts which allowed it to remain more loyal to the original text. There are ten differences between them but there are some noticeable differences which do not contract very much from the overall quality of the movie.
Many people have watched the magical movies of Harry Potter, but, with the books being longer than the movies, how much magic was lost in translation? To answer this question, I want to go over what the bigger differences are between the films and movies. While the overall plot stayed the same, there were plenty of changes made for the movie adaptation which I believe made the books much better by comparison.
Have you ever read the Harry Potter series? I bade you to read the Harry Potter series. I have three reasons why you should read the novel, and they are: if you like magic, if you like wizards and witches, if you like suspense, then read the Harry Potter series. However, if you haven’t read the series, here is a brief description of the first book of the novel: “The Fantasy Novel, ‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone’, By J.K. Rowling is about a boy named Harry Potter who was a one year old that was left on the doorstep of his mother’s sister’s house, (Petunia Dursley). His Aunt and her husband, Vernon Dursley, accepted Harry. Eleven years later Harry Potter receives a letter from one of the best schools of Witchcraft and Wizardry named Hogwarts, a school for magic people. When Harry finds out he is a wizard, he sets off for Hogwarts, where he finds that he is very famous because of his lightning shaped scar and his great Quidditch skills. He also meets many kind people and his very first best friends, named Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger. Harry, Ron, and Hermione survive all the way to the end of the novel, where they discover that the Sorcerer’s Stone is about to be stolen, so Harry Ron, and Hermione try to save the stone. Finally Harry Potter alone reaches the stone where he meets the thief of the stone, the Dark Lord. There he most importantly finds a path he must take later in the series to overtake the Dark Lord, if he could survive his destiny.” After reading
