Books To Movies

I am someone who likes to read the book before seeing the movie. There have been times when I’ve seen the movie before the book. 

There are always points that I look for when I’ve read the book and it’s being turned into a movie, If the characters are what I imagined is a big thing for me. 

This is going to be a Long post and is broken down in to three parts. Books to movies I’ve seen, books to movies I haven’t seen and books to movies that I am currently watching.  

- Harry Potter 
I am a Potter head. I love the books, the movies, etc. It was the first series that I remember actually loving. It was also the first book series that before the movies came out I could see what the charters would look like in the movies.   


- The Great Gatsby 
I saw the movie before I’d ever read the book, so when it came to reading the book I was nervous about reading it. I was nervous about seeing the actors who played characters while reading the book, I was nervous that I wouldn’t like the book., and with my history of hating classic books I was nervous that I just wouldn’t like it. But none of those things happened. The characters were there own, I didn’t see the actors. I loved the book, even with my history of hating classics.  

- The Help 
When a book gets turned into a movie there will always be those little details in the book that the movie doesn’t show, but for me I absolutely love both book and movie. 

- One Day
One Day is another book where I saw the movie before I read the book but both I think are just as good as each other. 

- The Fault in our Stars
If I’m being honest I liked the book a lot when I first read it, it’s a book that I think now had a lot of hype around it, and it wasn’t as good as it could have been. It’s not a bad book or movie, it’s just that I’ve changed 


- Safe Haven
Safe Haven is one of my favourite books ever. I fell in love the first time I read it, and love it even more every time I reread. I like the movie.  

- The Lucky One
If I’m honest I absolutely loved the book way more than I loved the movie. I did see the movie before I read the book but loved the book so much more 




- The Devil Wears Prada 
One of my favourite books to movies ever. I absolutely love both the book and the movie of TDWP, it’s such a cheesy book and movie and I just love it.  


- Twilight Saga
The twilight Saga could be in a few different categories but I’m putting it here. I am such a potter head that reading the books then Watching the movies I was disappointed by both. I watched the first three movies and have read all the books and felt that they didn’t bring much to me. I was disappointed by the characters and the storylines got weaker over time. 

Currently Watching

- Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them 

I’ve started watching it but I haven’t finished it yet. I’m dragging it out. And Canada’s Netflix has put on Harry Potter 5-7 part 2, and I’ve watched them and other things but haven’t gotten around to finishing Fantastic Beasts. 

Read But Not Seen

It’s not that I don’t want to see the movie versions of the book, it’s just I didn’t like the book enough to actually sit and watch a hour and half plus movie. 
- Paper Towns
- To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before 
- If I Stay


Neither Read or Seen

- Hunger Games
I was never really interested in the hunger games.  


- Maze Runner
At one point I wanted to read the Maze Runner Books but I kinda grew out of wanting to. I have no interest in watching the movies.
