Reading the actual book and then watching the movie or watching the movie and then reading the book?

Yes, I actually prefer reading the book and then watching the movie over watching the movie and then reading the book. But when you read the book, it has more detail then the movie does, when you're reading the book, you can imagine what a house looks like, what the characters look like, what pets look like basically anything in the book you can imagine yourself in your head. In the movie, it tells what the house, the characters, the pets, basically anything that is in the movie will tell you what they look like instead of imagining it in your head. I think that if you watch the movie before you read the book, it takes all of the fun out of imagining it all inside your head for when you read the book. I mean, yes, some people prefer watching the movie and the reading the book, but it's just not as fun for when you first read the book and you can just imagine just so many things in the book.
And when you see the movie for a book, some of the book scenes get cut out of the movie. Say you're reading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince or any Harry Potter book or just basically any book in general, you really like a part in the book and then when you're done with it, you see the movie and the part that you liked WASN'T in the movie, that's what I mean by parts in books by not being in the movie. If books are being made into movies, then the whole book cannot be in the movie, only because it would be more than two hours and I think that everyone would probably be complaining that they're going to be in the theater for more than two hours. And also everyone's ass would really hurt from sitting for more than two hours and also not going to the bathroom, well, that's also another problem. I mean, when you're in the movie theater, you have to go to the bathroom, well, you don't really want to miss anything.
Anyways, movies over books? Not for me, books over movies, yes, I may have to do physical work with my eyes, but I really don't care, I actually like to read books, probably more than anyone else. I may not read books all the time and also every day, but at least I actually read physical books more than anyone that says that they prefer movies over books. I think that some people who watch movies from a book and say "movies over books", are a bit lazy only because they don't want to do any physical work when reading a book. To me, it's not really physical work to actually read a book, it's the story that keeps me going, to keep reading it, depending on what I'm reading as well. Maybe for the people who don't like reading, they just haven't found the right story for themselves yet. I think that for me, Harry Potter got me into reading because it was full of magic, friends, family, love and so many other things as well. Anyways, that's all for this month, so, I'll write you next time.
