The Philosopher's Stone Compare And Contrast Essay

590 Words3 Pages

For decades Harry Potter has entranced children and adults alike creating a magical sense of adventure and imagination. “Aside from these and other slight deviations, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (known as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in the United States), is remarkably faithful to its source text,”(Joffe). There are many different opinions for people who like the book better and people who like the movie better. I believe the book was higher quality based on facts presented the book was more in depth with characters and emotions also more detail based on the plot was given and wasn’t so rushed, the thing that was creative about the movie and not the book was some little details to make a better character choice. So as a result the book has more of a creative base than the movie. Characterization is a big part in any story or movie based on choices made and on imagination. In the book Snape is portrayed as a 32 year old man who were supposed to have black eyes like Hagrid, but the movie cast him as a 55 year old man with no emotional connection and regular looking eyes.

Something that has been noticed is that in the book time does not seem to be an issue but in the movie things seem to get rushed; the plot for instance. “In the movies, though, Ginny doesn't get enough screen time to show her fantastic personality, and the screen time she does get only revolves around Harry.

Toward the beginning of the movie everything seems to be rushed and more focused on Harry at Hogwarts, while the book focused on the secret of Harry being a wizard until page 55 when the plot final gets started. The books gives me a better understanding in the mind of Harry and more of what really went on. The book explains a creative

The book catches ones attention by specifying what goes on very clearly and getting straight to the point, not providing any unnecessary information. Let´s just make this short, simple, and to the point, if you watched the movie you would probably not want to read the book since it did not catch enough of ones attention to be interested.

Compare And Contrast The Outsiders

For example, in the book, only one person drowns Pony, but in the movie, three people drowned him. This is different because in the book Pony is being drowned at the water fountain by only one person. On the other hand in the movie Pony is getting drowned by three people instead of one like it is in the story. Another comparison between the book and the movie would be when Ponyboy goes to court and doesn’t testify in the book, but in the movie he does. These are different because in the book when Pony has to go to court for the murder of Bob he doesn’t testify in the movie when he goes to court he does testify.

Compare And Contrast Beowulf Book And Movie

Have you ever watched a movie based on a book that told the exact same story? To me, for some reason, books always seem to be the better one out of the two. I feel that in novels, the author develops the story with as many details as possible, while in movies that aspect doesn’t appear in the same way. There aren’t as many details in films since it has to last for a certain amount of time, but books can last for as many pages as the author would like them to. When I read, the fascinating novel “Beowulf,” I really enjoyed how the author made me use my imagination to create a picture of the world that the characters were living in.
