i usually prefer books, because they let so much out when they make movies, the whole storyline isn't actually there. a good example is harry potter, where they left the marodeur map out and so on...i actually hope they don't make the 4th one into a movie. the book is really huge and great and long and i could never see how they could make that a GOOD movie. have you guys realized what a small part neville longbottom has in the movies? he has a much bigger part in the books. i hate how important things are left out, especially like in this case, as most of you know, neville turns out to be a quite important character later on in the books.
i think reading a book is like building a little bubble around you. like a little world of your own, you can decide yourself kinda what the people look like, what the places look like. by reading the book you can imagine what it looks like. then when you see the movie, it's like seing another person's bubble, another person's world, and your own gets ruined, at least a little bit. things look different than you're "used to", it's someone else's picture of the same book. do you understand what i mean?
that's why i usually prefer books. they leave a little to your own imagination. watching the movie is like seing it through someone else's eyes. but there are of course exceptions to this, i know many books that are great both as books and as movies, and i know movies that are better than the books and vice versa.
