The Best Place To Start With Harry Potter
Harry as a small lad finds himself living under the stairs at his Aunt and Uncles house being treated like filth by the family. Unbeknown to him he is the son of his wizard parents who were killed by the Dark Lord Voldermort. When an owl arrives at the house, Harry’s magical world is just about to start. He is whisked off to the Hogwarts School of Wizardry. The story has started… the phenomenon called Harry Potter. All sorts of weird and wonderful events await him, he comes close to death, gains some real friends, learns to fly, turn people into frogs…His world is truly intriguing and exciting. The movie was adapted from the books, and produced by David Haymen and distributed by Warner Bros. Inc. The last book (book 7: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) is to be released in 2011, the first film was released in 2001. Aside from that, there are audio books released in the market as well. So I guess the question is, what is the best way to get into the world of Harry Potter, Books, Movie or audio Book? Quite a lot of advantages can be gained by reading the actual novels.. First off, it is where the original concept of the movie revolved in. Not every scene has been included in the Movies, which may potentially reduce the impact of the movies for some. Of course for avid reader this is the only option, not only for the read but to add to their library of books. Such modern literary finds are a must to have for any book lover. Aside from that, there are other great points that are featured in the movie series as well. Every Scene chosen in the movies have certainly done J.K. Rowling’s work absolute justice. The people working on the production should be congratulated.. From the effects, the acting and even the story line, all were all able to stay true to all of the Harry potter books. Even the decision to split the 8th book into 2 separate movies seemed like a good idea as well. One issue with Reading and watching a movie is that you have to be stationary, and there is no possibility of moving without missing some of the action. Bring in the audio book. You get to hear the movie read to you, as the author intended, but now you are free to do other things. How about using your travel time to work more effectively, by listening to a few chapters of a novel, or even while you are pounding the weight of at the local gym. This takes in the best of the original book, and cultures up your personal imagery as the author intended, without having to be constrained to only one activity at a time. Well, it is clear all three media forms offer their own advantages, and it is very much up to the personal tastes of the individual. Maybe you like to order in a pizza and watch the movie with some friends, listen to an audio book while walking in the country side, or snuggle up with a good read. All the Media forms can be purchased online at Harry Potter books, go ahead get a bit of wizardry on your life, and treat yourself to some Harry potter Magic. Other British Novelist Roald Dahl can also be purchased online at Roald Dahl Books, for those than want to expand their repertoire of British authors.
