I watched all the Harry Potter movies, before reading the stories..
It was good to understand the places and how things were happening. It was bad for, my own imagination of what the characters should look like.
For an example is Ron Weasley taller than Fred and George, plus he is not chubby. And Mr. Weasley is not overweight. Hermione has big front teeth.
I recommend reading the books, because you get a greater view of the all, since you have Harry’s thought on paper, in the movies you often have to guess your way (;

As much as I can, I like to read the book before the movie because in films a lot has to be left out. I’ve had an experience of seeing the film before the book before and all of the extra information cut from the film swayed me quite a bit and I found myself getting impatient with the book trying to get to the parts that I knew that were from the film and getting impatient with books is something that I never usually do so, when possible, I’ll always try and read the book first, purely due to the amount that has to be changed or cut from the film.

Books before the movie. It’s always a double headed sore though. Seeing the movie then reading the book, the image is different than what you wanted some how, or you feel you should done this a while ago. And watching the movie may not match up with what you thought or it’s just plain awful.

It’s a whole big thing.
