I used to be of the opinion that the book is always better than the movie but that is absolutely not true. Is it usually? Yes. But sometimes the director and especially the actors make the story better. Not to mention the music, the sets, the costumes, etc.
First time I felt a move did a better job is when I read the book “Primary Colors” by Joe Klein. I thought the book was kind of boring but when I saw the movie I thought it was hilarious.
Just recently I read “The Last Letter” by Rebecca Yarrows and I kept thinking this would be a much better movie. The inner monologue of the characters can be annoying, especially when they drone on and on about how damaged they are. An actor can convey three paragraphs of internal dialogue about trauma with just their facial expression.
And here comes the unpopular opinion. I think the Harry Potter movies are infinitely better than the books. I said what I said. I don’t care if some parts were completely excluded. I think there were parts in the books that definitely did not need to be in the movie and some that did not even need to be in the books. I think pretty much all the characters were helped by the charisma and personality of the actors (except Ginny). Especially the character of Snape who would be nothing but a creepy bully without the great Alan Rickman, may he rest in peace.
