A Goodreads user asked this question about Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter, #1):

But the portions good in the books are either totally left out or very unimpressive in the movies. The movies only show dialogues but the books have a lot more, like background commentary. The lore described in the books is very interesting when read but cannot be expressed/exhibited in cinema. So my vote is definitely read the books.(less)
