I think the movies are very well made, and have outstanding actors.
But the books have so much more detail and background info. The movies leave out alot of very important "facts" pertaining to the storylines, and they change too much in general.
Example: They take away alot of Dobby's glory, having Neville "discover" the Gillyweed, and several other incidents.
I'm rambling. My point is, the books are infinitely better.

As far as I'm concerned, the first two movies were the best movies in the series, with the first being both the best and closest to the books. The movies have really been going down hill since the third one (which is so far the worst in the series). The books themselves remain better than the movies.

Books, the movies left a lot out and I found the books to be more detailed.

I would prefer the books because it has all the details which makes the movies a little bit disappointing. But, heck, howdo you expect a director fit the whole book in the movie, right?

Books definitely. The movies leave out several important details and are not up to the mark. Sometimes even the story-telling really leaves much to be desired

I prefer the books a lot because it puts in a lot more detail then the movie.Like the movie might either miss out on some stuff,change some stuff or add some stuff.

Both, many books have more details and leaves you to imagine it, many movies out there are wonderful, great story line and creativity. However, some movies are based on books.....pride and prejudice, harry potter, nora robert's books made into movies...gone with the wind...etc. (stephen King)
Some screen writers even take a different creative direction, inspired by movies....example clueless...it was a modernized movie based on Emma, one of Jane Austen's novel.
The best thing to say, is both. each field has a different take and way of entertainment, which is wonderful and they explore our creative side. I say rent a few clasics, and a few modern, and the same with novels, a few classics, and then more modern, and popcorn...take a vacation.

the books, they show rowling's true genius and provide great character insights, and it's like you journey along with the protagonist, by sharing in his feelnigs and trying to figure out what voldemort's latest plan is. besides, the books are able to properly delineate all characters (while the movies cut half of them out anyway) and you can make anyone your favourite. but the visual effects can only be had in a movie. apart from that, however, books rule!!!!

I prefer the books because nowadays they keep honing to cut so much stuff out of the movies that you can easily get lost.
