is it worth reading the harry potter books even though i have seen the films, as i already know the storyline and ending?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
in case of harry potter,i don't think knowing the ending really affects the pleasure you may have by reading the books.
The books are far more in depth. Sure, you may have the overall picture, but there's lot that happens there that cant be told in a short movie.

absolutely! I had seen the first five films before I read through the series, and the books are different enough to warrant a full read.
Honestly, 99% of the time, books are always better than movies. The 2 cases I've seen where that isn't so is with Order of the Phoenix and 1408.
The books definitely cover a much larger range or material, and will also help to clear up any questions that may have been left lingering from the movies. Sadly, the movies were not able to put everything there since it would take up way too much time. The only one that was the closest was the Deathly Hollows.
yep, they are great books, especially the further on you go. i've read through them all a few times, one of the better series out there.

add children of men to that list, terrible book, incredible movie.
You should read, A Song of Ice and Fire, instead and forget about Harry Potter. ferrari2001
Very good advice here. :P
yeah, there's quite a lot in the books that isn't in the movies. I didn't finish the book series, but from what people I know who have they were saying a lot more is in the book, which can clear up some stuff or give it more back story.

I haven't read them myself, but I still would love to read them because I heard the movies left so much stuff out.JustPlainLucas
