Goblet Of Fire Comparison
The novel Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is story full of adventure, action, and suspense, but only after the first 400 pages. The first part of the book is little more than an account of everyday life in a magical landscape. The story is really slow with nothing very interesting or exiting happening. On the other hand, when you finally get to the dramatic climax of the story, it is very well told. The movie is totally different. The director decided to add long fight scenes, such as the 2o minutes long battle scene with Harry fighting a dragon. Instead of drawing in the viewers as it did in its previous films, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire preferred to be a more about special effects. The novel by J. K. Rowling was very much different …show more content…
It was completely wrong. The hedges did not move, there was no sphinx, acromantula, or Blast-Ended Screwts. There weren't any Blast-Ended Screwts in the movie at all, for that matter. The opponents had to navigate through a maze to get to the Triwizard Cup to win the tournament. This is shown quickly in the movie and the only consistent danger appears to be the collapsing of the walls, yet in the book Harry is forced to use his wit and knowledge of spells to plot his course and face various creatures.

Secondly, Neville did not help Harry discover Gillyweed, Dobby did. Originally, Mad-Eye had intended for Neville to show Harry the book he gave him, which contained a full explanation of Gillyweed. Dobby overheard Moody talking to McGonagall about Gillyweed, and relayed the message to Harry.

Another detail that was changed was at the Quidditch match. Harry, Hermione and the Weasleys were supposed to be in a box with Cornelius Fudge, the Prime Minister from Bulgaria and Ludo Bagman, but instead they were stuck in the nosebleed section. Small bit, with not much importance to it but was messed up nevertheless. Also at the Quidditch match, Winky was blamed for the stealing of Harry's wand, and casting the spell that produced the Dark Mark. Winky was left out of the movie all together, which I thought was

    Davie Movie Vs Book

    I think, hopefully along with you, the reader that books are greater than the movie, especially in this case. For some extra details, here are some good mentions. The book, produced in 1886, had more evidence that Alan had committed the Appin Murder than the movie! Also, the plot and timing of character scenes were off. One example was when Davie asked the woman in the book where the House of Shaws was, in the movie it was a man! Also, in the book, the woman had hatred for the House of Shaws, when in the movie he had no hatred that would of made the movie slightly more…

    Katniss 'Anthem': Comparing The Movie And The Book

    Why is it that when a book gets it’s own movie that there are several differences between the book and the movie? Some people argue that the book is always better than the movie. There is a reason for this. Firstly, in most book to movie adaptations small details are changed or are just not included. Secondly, the movie often takes short cuts and doesn’t touch on certain aspects that were described in the book. Lastly, when reading a book you are free to make your own subtext and fill in the blanks with your imagination. The movie adaptations of books have always lacked the detail that's in the book, some things are completely cut from the movie to maintain a well paced story, and it fills in the gaps for us making the experience less unique.…

    Comparison Of Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone

    Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone the book earned a number of awards, including a Booklist Editor’s Choice award, Publisher’s Weekly Best Book of 1998, and earning a top spot as both a New York Times and USA Today Bestseller. The movie itself earned many rewards, such as a Critics Choice Award for Best Live Action Family Film, and individual people on the cast and crew were also recognized, such as costume designer Judianna Makovsky, who won a Saturn Award for Best Costumes; Rupert Grint, who won a Satellite Special Achievement Award for Outstanding New Talent; and Emma Watson, who tied with Scarlett Johansson for a Young Artist Award for Best Performance in a Feature Film (Leading Young Actress). While the original audience for both the book and the film Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone may have been children, there is no denying that it has transcended that audience, and appeals to almost every audience. On a scale of one to five, with five meaning completely representative of the book and one meaning not representative at all, I would give this movie a rating of four. Having read the book first, the movie-watching experience was very enhanced. The book provides a more complete telling than the movie, and you are better able to understand what is going on in the characters’ heads. That is also why I prefer the book to the movie. Since they are not confined within the few hours of a movie, the author is better able to develop to develop the characters more fully, and consequently the characters are more dynamic and more…

    Comparison Of Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone

    In J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, the protagonist, Harry, is today's modern hero. The film of Harry Potter is the common tale of good vs. evil, with the good and evil in the story being completely obvious. Voldemort, Harry's adversary, intends to kill Harry because, as their prophecy, another element of mythology, foretold, "neither can live while the other survives." However, when good meets evil (Harry meets Voldemort) in the novel, good prevails both times; which is a very cliché concept.…

    A River Runs Through It Essay

    One thing in particular that the book does much better is making use of complex metaphors and themes, such as: the river for life, and oneness with nature, that string themselves together as you turn each page of the book, while in the movie the metaphors and symbolism are represented in a much different way through picture. In the book, both themes regarding the river are very vivid and clear, as they use strong imagery of nature to draw pictures in the minds of the readers. In the movie both themes are represented and referred to much less because of the lack of narration.…

    The Crucible

    Why I think the moviemaker chose those difference between the book and the movie was because in the book there was a narrator to tell you specific things. The narrator is there to tell some background information and make sure you get a better grasp of what’s taking place. So I feel as if in the movie they wanted you to pay closer attention to what was happening. And you have to have some differences between the two. While in the movie you can see more action and can sometimes explain things better by acting out, rather than being written out.…

    The Movie Freakonomics

    Freakonomics is a nonfiction book that takes place throughout the 20th and 21st centuries commenting on situations throughout the history of mankind that is affected by economics.

Twelve Angry Men is a fictional movie that presumably taking place in the late 1950s, based off the release date of the movie, depicting a man who manage to shed light on a case and save a young boys life through persistently putting out his ideas of justice and persistence towards it until all doubt has been blown off.

    Lord Of The Rings Comparison

    Both Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and Rowling's Harry Potter are heavily influenced by great wizards. On the surface, these wizards may seem to be very similar, but upon further analysis ,it is obvious to the reader that they have many differences. Gandalf, from the Lord of The Ring series, is a wise old wizard who is not the strongest of all wizards. His power comes the love and courage that he teaches to many of the other main characters in The Lord of the Rings, but he is almost invincible. Albus Dumbledore is the strongest wizard in the Harry Potter series.…

    Comparison Of Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone

    First of all, detail is very important in novels. The films lack accuracy to the book proving that the novel is superior. In the film, there are characters missing including Peeves, the poltergeist and Charlie Weasley, the second eldest Weasley child. Dobby also appears only in two of the films whereas he appears in the book from Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets until the end. There are also many missing scenes including the opening for Harry Potter and The Philosophers Stone which starts off very differently than the book. I know they have to keep the movie going because it’s already very long but it seems too rushed. The characters also don’t fit their descriptions. For example, Harry Potter is supposed to have green eyes but in the…
