Between the story and the movie, many differences can be seen. Usually movies need to be a certain amount of time to get to a point where it is not boring for viewers to have the experience. Usually movies are between the time of one hour to two hours. More than that can might not bring as much attention or spark an idea to watch the movie for viewers. Also with movies being longer the producers are using a lot of money and do not really know whether it wIll make it or not.

I included Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban because it's my favorite out of the entire series, both book and movie. Harry Potter was such a huge part of my life while I was growing up. It was this universal cultural phenomenon that I was so excited to be part of. I grew up reading the series and being so excited every time the next movie or the next book came out and I sorely regret not attending a Harry Potter premiere when I had the chance.

Harry Potter has been known to capture the hearts of both the young and old. My favorite books out of this series has to be the very last two. It is the most exciting time in the boy wizards life as he tries to defeat the evil Lord Voldermort. For those of us that haven't jumped on the Harry Potter wagon yet it is not too late! J.K. Rowling writes in a way that moves you along in the story and makes you want to read more.

What draws people into reading a book or watching a movie? Although they have many differences, there are similarities that cannot be overlooked. The science fiction book titled Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card was adapted into a movie that received mixed reviews concerning the justification of the book. Ender Wiggins, a genius, and a nobody on Earth, was the project of higher-ups in the world government. He was to be the next Commander of the Fleet that would destroy the Formic species in the Third Invasion. First, the character development in the movie had big differences to the book although the big picture was hardly altered. Next, the plot of the movie was altered from the book in a way that would grab an audience's attention in theater,

The article "Buy Experiences, Not Things" by James Hamblin, in The Atlantic explains that experiences in life make people more happy than material goods do. People are more satisfied with the things they do compared to the things that they own. The article states that more enjoyment is found in anticipating the purchase of an item than is experienced in actually owning the item. People enjoy hearing about experiences other have had whether they shared in the same event or not. People do not like hearing about material items others own.

The completeness of the stories that showed on films covered dissimilarity on reality. It embraced fantasy concept a way far in realism. However, it triggered to produce heartwarming films. The concept of the stories stroked the minds and hearts of young female children which usually convey a love stories. Most protagonists were females or princesses so, evidently young female children were captivated on the stories with used of the unforgettable line “And they live happily ever after”. As a result, young female children when exposed to Walt Disney films tend to identify themselves with those fictional characters. They might as well perceive the stories will happen in life situations.

Humans have always loved stories, from magical ones filled with wonders, to the everyday life reciting’s. Humans crave stories; they crave the moment of going to a magical land of wonders that exceed their own lives. Such is the case with books. Books hold the magic of binding a story and making it immortal. Creating a world that shall never be forgotten, whilst always adding new members. Unfortunately not all see books as a valuable relic. Most people nowadays do not even deem books as worthy of their time at any given moment. Nevertheless, some books do have the power to make even books haters yearn for more and are read even centuries after they were first published. The article ”How Harry Saved Reading” written by Norman Lebrecht in 2011 dives into the subject of how J.K.Rowling managed to make

All of the characters presented in the movie have a distinct personality, making the viewer engage deeply in the heart pumping action and drama.

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.

A movie’s greatness is often measured by its monetary returns. There are numerous examples of huge commercial successes that are able to draw dollars from people with each iteration of their product even when the movies themselves are less memorable. Think of Fast & Furious or Transformers, hugely popular, even producing a great movie from time to time. Less often, is a franchise that produces a string of great films. Star Wars and James Bond have consistently brought viewers to the box office over decades. Many of those movies will be watched by generation after generation. Then there is the oddity, the financial dud that gets better ratings with time. The Shawshank Redemption didn’t impress on opening weekend. It didn’t have a surge after a limited release with great reviews. It did have a compelling story and superb acting providing the viewer an emotional experience. That experience allowed The Shawshank Redemption become one of the most well-regarded movies of recent history.

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

Another factor which I believe has led to the novels success is that while reading, the reader wishes that they could live in this fantasy world created by Rowling where life is anything but ordinary. The novels make the reader somewhat desire a life like the one led by the characters of the novels, like going to a school to learn wizarding, always having extraordinary things happen and just being at Hogwarts seems like an unequaled joy for some. These novels have the ability to reignite the long lost imaginations of adults, and keep the imaginations of children strong.
