All About Harry Potter Books

By Jennifer Luu and Natalie Rivera

From issue 3 winter 2006

The Harry Potter series, written by author J.K. Rowling, have always been a favorite of many kids and adults across the world. Still, just the books don’t seem to satisfy readers. Millions of people still turn up at the movie premieres, and for weeks after the movie opens. Some may turn up just as something to do and others may just want to watch the movie instead of reading the books. Many others enjoy watching the visual effect of the movies.We think that just the books aren’t enough. We think this because with the book, you don’t have a visual image and it’s always nice to have it. You also get to see the book come alive.

It’s great to see how the production staff and cast make all the magical scenes seem real. We’re sure that this is the reason why so many people go to see the movies.What we also like about watching the movie is that you don’t have to flip pages. All you have to do is sit back and watch the movie.
Also, watching the movie you can see the mistakes the actors and actresses make.There are many differences between all the books and the movies. The movies cut out parts of the book but never anything too important. Still, the cast and crew try their best to make the movies seem as real as possible. We think they’ve done a great job!

When asked if she thought the movies were like the books, Karen Murillo, a sixth grade Law and Government Academy student said, “I saw the movies and I think they are just like the books except for minor changes.”
