A Goodreads user asked this question about Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter, #1):
I have watched all the Harry Potter films loads of times and I love them but is it worth it reading the books if I know what is going to happen?

After 8 years (or more may be), when I read the book, i found a little from that friend's story. The thing i remember him saying correct was about Voldemort's killing teacher (although the motivation wasn't correct !) and black clouded skeleton mask !
Anyway... my point is.. the movie left many interest part of HP; specifically the qudditch match. The suspense in the book is quite extra ordinary. Compare to the book, the movie is quite boring. Personally I hate the movie. The actors (kids) were all amateurs and therefore couldn't portray the characters the way they are in the book and changing scene from the novel is quite annoying.
It's been a year since you asked this question. You may already have read the books by now. If so... you have figured it out then. If not... at least try the fifth part from the book and then compare it with the movie. You will see what kinds of jokes they play in the movie ! (less)
