Similar, but not the same! For movie making, they made numerous changes. Female parts were greatly enhanced from the small parts in the book. Some locations were changed. And some characters were eliminated altogether. In general, however, the films were as faithful to the book as possible. You will have to read the books then watch the movies to form your own opinion. Some of the major differences: Fellowship of the Ring Movie: No Tom Bombadil, no Barrow Downs, no Glorfindel (Arwen instead). Aragorn gave the Hobbits their swords as opposed to the Hobbits taking them from the Barrow wights. The Two Towers Movie: Eomer was not banished, Rohan had 2000 men at Helm's Deep, no warg attack happened, and the elves didn't come to Helm's Deep. Faramir didn't even think of taking the Ring, Frodo and Sam never went to Osgiliath, and Gandalf brought Erkenbrand to the rescue, not Eomer. The Return of the King Movie: Frodo never banished Sam, Rangers of Arnor came to Aragorn, Elrond never brought Anduril because Aragorn had it from the beginning, Aragorn brought Gondorians not the Army of the Dead to Minas Tirith, 6000 good guys stood before the Black Gate not 500, Gollum danced off into the lava of Mount Doom and wasn't pushed. In addition to these changes, they also lessened Eomer's importance, had no out-companies of Gondor, and completely disregarded Imrahil.
Well yes it is similar..but the movie leaves out a lot of the scenes in the book(chapters like "blood type"). The book is much more detailed..and better if i say so myself. But yes, the movie is based off the book and captures the same ideas and such.
They are set in Middle Earth and center around the One Ring and the quest to destroy it. The Hobbit is more of a fairy tale and The Lord of the Rings is very much an adult type of novel. The historic background and history a melded into one.
Well for one thing the new movie is being split into three movies. So far it seems like the movie has not cut anything major out of it. It seems to be as good as the book. I would give it a thumbs up to the directors they did a good job on following what I think Tolkien's vision was.
No. For a start, they are much more condensed; many details are omitted. This happens with any movie made from a book: it is hard to compress an entire book into a movie of about 2 hours; the movie-makers have to decide what to keep, and what details they may omit.
Then, there are some cases where there are actual changes. Most of them are minor details, that don't represent a major change to the story. For example, in Harry Potter 6, in the book, Hagrid overhears Snape discussing with Dumbledore, when Snape doesn't want to carry out a certain task (the task is not named at that point). Hagrid then tells Harry about this. In the movie, Harry overhears them directly.
Other details... well, let's say that I would have preferred them to stick to the original story. For example, in the movie Harry Potter 4, Dumbledore gets a little out of control, shaking Harry and shouting at him, whether he put his name in the chalice! This is completely out of character for Dumbledore. Or, in the movie Harry Potter 5, Harry's girlfriend, Cho, betrays the group that calls itself Dumbledore's Army. In the book, it was her friend (not shown in the movie) who betrayed them.
No, it will be different in many ways. Example, even though Frodo isn't born until 50 years after it, he will be in the movie.
The movies focus on the main events from the books, but the books are much more interesting, showing more day-to-day events unlike the movies which jump around quickly.
None of them. The only type of battle that happened at the Burrow was when the wedding was crashed but we later find out that most guests apparated and no harm was done to anybody since they were just looking for Harry.However, in the movie version of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince there is a battle at the Burrow which resulted in the house being set on fire. This did not happen in the book.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 & 2 are one book. Just the Deathly Hallows. Anywhere they sell DVD's...
there could be. it will just be the only one in the series that is not based on a novel by JK Rowling.That doesn't seem likely. The story basically ends with book 7 (the Deathly Hallows).
Yea, I was just watching it then. I think you are referring to the part at the start where he goes down the staircase. I thought that set was from Harry potter.
Harry Potter was born in 1980, which means he turned 21 in 2001.The first movie, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's (Sorcerer's) Stone, was released in 2001. In this movie Harry was eleven.
Probably not. Harry Potter is a very popular movie and book whereas Warriors is just a book.
16, you just add 10 to the number book/film!
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is followed by the fourth book, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
The longest Harry Potter book in the series is Harry Potter and the Oder of the Phoenix. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is 309 pages. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is 341 pages. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is 435 pages. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is 734 pages. Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix is 870 pages. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is 607 pages. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is 759 pages. I am not positive on these pages just maybe the first 5 are right. I think.
Its a book/ movie not real. you cant just jump on a broom and fly off.
Because Harry potter is the coolest book series you could ever read!!!!!!! Just read the 1st book and fall in love! The movie people said that if the books are so popular the movies=gold!!!!! (FYI I am the #1 Harry Potter fan...not u)
There is no moral in any of the Harry Potter books. Just helping out and politeness.
Ginny was infatuated with Harry Potter from the time she met him, at the start of Book 2.
If you're asking what type of book Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is, it's a fantasy book, just like the rest of the series.
The last book in the series is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The newest book written about Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling is The Tales of Beatle the Bard which will be in stores in December. The last thing written by J.K. Rowling around Harry Potter is the prequel written on a note card which is available for purchase on Waterstone's website.
Just read the book, and you will know...
You can buy the book from just about any book store.
