The Goblet Of Fire: Book Vs Movie
In the print version, readers are free to imagine or picture any scene freely. It is up to their imagination what they want to picture in their minds. In the film, the eyes see what producers wanted you to see and that is it; you do not have the ability to imagine different colors or environments.

The movie of “The Goblet of Fire,” have some scenes that have been cut because the books contain around eight hundred pages. When I first watched the movie, I read that the producers were debating if they should have divided the movie into two parts due the book length. For this reason, a lot of print text was deleted in the movie; while other scenes were added to give the audience a deeper view of some scenes. One clear example that the movie was changed, is the scene when McGonagall teaches students how to dance before the Yule Ball Dance. The professor mentions that it’s a tradition and she expects all students to perform well on that night. Professor McGonagall asked Ron Wesley to dance with her, and if you are a follower of Harry Potter book’s or movies you might know that Ron Wesley does not dance. The film offers this scene to give the audience a funny moment where they can laugh. Later, this addition of the movie leads Neville Longbottom to start practicing the dance by

Here we can watch how Voldemort and Potter wands connect by a light. Harry parents appear to help Harry escape; however, in the book not only Harry parents appear but also Bertha Jorkins (a witch who worked at the Ministry). Bertha character has no appearance at all in the movie and people who have not read the book might never know who is she and what she did. Moreover, the book explains why the wands were connected. Dumbledore’s says that the wands have a feather of a phoenix, so when the two wands are confronted in battle, the wands take a reverse spell that does not allow them to work

    Movies and books are always different; in a movie you can show multiple characters, and in most books you're stuck in one character's narrative. For instance in the book The Giver the character Fiona doesn’t care about Jonas as deeply as she does in the movie. In the movie she stops her injections, and she starts to love Jonas. However in the book she only “enjoys having Jonas’s company”. In the movie she also helps Jonas steal Gabe before he is killed, and she is put in the community jail for helping him. Before she is going to be released she talks about how she has felt things. That she knows what it is like to truly feel, and in the book she isn’t this unorthodox.…

    There are many differences between the movie and the book. First the positive points: This film attaches faces to Scout, Jem, Miss Maudie, and Dill, since no description of their faces is given in the book. Also, the film has some genuinely hilarious moments, particularly the scene where Scout is dressed as a ham and walking through the forest. Another good point is that the acting was superb and a treat to watch. Gregory Peck, who played Atticus, was captivating. The film is cast very well. The novel does not give physical descriptions of Scout, Jem, Miss Maudie, and Dill, but the film characters were believable. The actors look like what we would expect them to look like.…

    The Book Thief is an encouraging tale of a fictional girl named Liesel. Liesel was raised during a time of great pain and suffering: Nazi Germany. Many Jews, Gypsies, mentally and physically disabled, and others were killed over a ten year timespan. Scope magazine adapted the book and the movie to create a play. One of the characters, named Death, states, “I’m always finding humans at their best and worst. I see their ugly and their beauty, and I wonder how the same thing can be both.” True, we’re all human beings but how we picture the world and react to it is a whole different story. The extent of examples that can be found in the novel, movie, play, and even real life Nazi Germany has a very wide range including the mass murders and the “Harriet Tubman”s.…

    The dyadic pairing of the Harry and Voldemort’s wands foreshadow things to come in the later novels, but more importantly, draws upon the readers’ preconceptions of good and evil, or light and dark. It is because of the pairing between Harry and Voldemort’s wands, that the reader is able to fully understand both the character of Harry, and the reasoning behind his choices. Because his wand, which is a part of his identity, is completely connected to the evil, or darkness, that is Lord Voldemort, he makes sure that throughout the rest of the novels, his choices reflect good, or…

    I first read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone when I was eight years old. It immediately became one of my favorite books. Over the next several years, I read the rest of the series many times, and I watched the entire series of movies almost as many times. However, I’ve never grown tired of re-reading and re-watching the first book and movie. The book, titled Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone upon initial release in 1997, was re-titled later that same year as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone for its US release. J.K. Rowling’s 310 page masterpiece was published by Arthur A. Levine Books, a branch of Scholastic Inc. The movie, also titled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, was released in 2001 by Warner Bros.…

    Life is full of lessons, the movie version of the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is not! Harper Lee entwines these life lessons throughout her novel; however, the movie version fails to incorporate these lessons into its plot. Thus, the movie version must be deemed incomplete, as it is most certain that there are many important lessons that Jem and Scout learn throughout the novel. A few key characters who taught these lessons to the children and who will be the subject of this essay are Ms.Dubose and the morals learnt from her successful fight against morphine addiction, the role of Aunt Alexandra in front of Scout as a female role model and lastly Mr.Dolphus Raymond’s preferred associations with black people and his motives behind such actions. These points all sum up to the movie version of the novel being unquestionably incomplete as the movie portrays a scenario in which it seems that only Atticus Finch and his children are against the racist and prejudice ideas of that time. Therefore, the purpose of this essay is to enlighten the reader upon the partialness of To Kill a Mockingbird, the movie.…

    "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... until you climb into his skin and walk around in it." (Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird). This quote defines one of the most important messages in the book, concerning power and prejudice. I think that this quote could be used to describe many situations throughout the book. In my essay I will show examples of the key events throughout the book that have been omitted or altered from the movie “To Kill a Mockingbird” and how they contribute to the degradation of the critical messages in the book.…
