Welcome to Gaia! ::

I enjoy both the books and the films, though of course, I love the books more.

I actually found the PoA movie very fun, if rather inaccurate. The first two films bored me a bit, but they're still good to watch. I adored Goblet.

So in the end, I shall say both, because both have their merrits.

I'm also a big supporter of the books. I was reading them before the movies were released so I admit that I'm probably biased but I just feel that the movies miss out on so much. Don't get me wrong, I like the films in their own way but you just can't fit the same kind of detail in.
You miss out on a LOT of the character goobeyness (being silly and lame in a good way) as well as minor plot branches and backstory. I may also be slightly bitter on the subject as the movie cut out all of the maruader stuff, which I love! *tear*.
But as a movie lover they're a good way to spend an afternoon smile

Bookies^^
I like original ones,and the ones that dosn't kill details(even the really small detail)

I still like the movies,I hope they do a better job than I think for the 5th movie.

JK should get the books going,and tell us the title scream

The books and movies both have their own merits. I voted for both because there are pros and cons to both of them.

Pros of the books: A lot more little scenes that provide amusement as well as some more in depth character development.

Cons of the books: They take time to read as well as being written in a style of writing that can discourage people.

Pros of the movies: Visual of the main important parts of the books as well as letting us hear and see at the same time one potential interpretation of the story.

Cons of the movies: It takes only one interpretation of the books, not all of them, as well as leaving out some bits and rearranging other bits.

Overall, they seem to balance completely, which works for me. I love both of them, but I look at them separately. I always go into a movie that has a books title with the thought "It's BASED on the book". Sometimes that means very very very loosely based. Sometimes that means almost word for word. Therefore, comparing the two is not fair either one of the two media. You have to consider the pros of both and then potentially judge if one of them seems higher to you. Like if you don't like watching things on the tv, probably the books are how you are going to vote because that is going to be a pro in the books favor. For me, I don't care. Either way works.

Both are good in their own way. i mean the movie gets a few things wrong but it's expected to happen because of budgeting and time.

I love both but if I had to choose it would be the books. First off let me say that I am a movie whore so choosing books over movies is a big thing lol! However, I simply love the books. It's so much more fun to imagine everything going on rather then having it played out for you. Plus, I don't know about everyone else but the special effects I see in my head ( am I mental? Eh, maybe) are alot better then anything that's ever come out on the big screen.

The books are by far superior. ( xd )

I have always seen the movies as just a supplement to the books, as if to say, here, this is how it might look, this is our interpretation of what happened and how the characters are. But, thats all I've seen them as, a supplement. Without the books before them they would be nothing. Though, some of them were done quite good. The first too were very nice, pretty much accurate and, a little boring.... The third was horrible, from start to awful were-SpiderMonkey finish.... and the forth was just alot of fun. But, as far as movie making goes, how could you go wrong with a tournament just of wizarding and magical shows, and an awesomely huge international Quidditch game? Not really many ways to mess that up cinematically.
