I did the same as Alex back when HP 7 came out. I was on holiday in Italy and managed to find a bookshop with an English version on the day it came out. Finished it by the evening.
The only film I watched and then decided I wanted to read the book was “The Shining”. Best decision I ever made. Screamed through the book, and although I do think the book is better, I can appreciate the film’s score and setting to create the atmosphere.
My favourite quote that I think nails the difference is “Instead of a normal man who becomes insane, Nicholson portrays a crazy man attempting to remain sane.”. I’d love them to add the scene with the bushes into the film now we have that capability.
Great show ladies!
