Reading a book before/after seeing the movie
My husband has finally given in to me and we have started watching the Harry Potter movies. I have always liked books/movies of that sort, and I am so excited about seeing these. I decided to also start reading the books. This week I took out the Sorcerer's Stone, which I have just recently watched on DVD.
I remember seeing Stephen King's IT on TV before reading the book. Seeing first made the book even more vivid and more scary for me. I could really visualize it all. I still get creeped out when I see low flying balloons. As I am reading the Sorcerer's Stone now, I can also visualize it in great detail, like the movie. Would I have the same visual concepts if I read the book first, then saw the movie?
I was wondering how seeing the movie before reading the book effects your thoughts about the book? Is it better to read the book first, then see the movie or the movie first, then book?
