i've never read the book..... didnt know there was one.

anyway, can you do one of these for the first (and/or last) harry potter book?

[bandgeek8408]

@KeswickCamp08 I'll be doing the entire series. Can't do a books vs. movies review series without Harry Potter. =)

[BlackFiresong]

Excellent idea for a series - very well done! I agree with most of the points you made, although I'm not quite sure on the imagery front: surely movies will pretty much always win over books in that sense just because it's so much easier to be moved by something you can actually see and hear (given that the plot/characters etc have a reasonable degree of merit)?

*is now going off in search of the film to relive her childhood* :D (because it's too late at night to find the book anywhere xD)

[bandgeek8408]

@BlackFiresong Not necessarily. Actually, I'm working on a review right now where the book imagery is better. Sometimes a book will describe things better and more imaginatively than a movie will present them.

Glad you liked the review!

My goodness, this is a series with a lot of potential :D I'm excited to see how it develops.

I really need to read some more Roald Dahl.

*Tries to think of something to say about the dancing, without having to remember the dancing*

Ummm . . . it is refreshing to find someone whose ability to throw uber-awkward dance moves is greater than my own. Well done, sir.

:P

[bandgeek8408]

@ghostwritten87 =P You just seem to be completely biased against my dancing. I can't imagine why . . .

@KeswickCamp08 I was born in the the late 90's also, but the book is written in 1988 two years before Roald Dahl traticly past away in 1990.
