The Magic Power Of Film

Harry Potter book series is written by British woman writer, J.K.Rowling. It has received a huge amount of attention and been enthusiastically pursued since its publishment. With the movie series of the same name put on the screen, the boy who wears a glasses and has magic power has rapidly become a world-famous figure.Since the birth of the movie, it has interwined with the novel. Though they have different ways of production and reception, they are interrelated and have impact on each other. The thesis aims to discuss the relationship further between the objects of study--Harry Potter book series and movie series. It emphasizes the different narration between films and novels. Meanwhile, the combination of astonishing special effects and stirring music elaborate the theme and main idea of the novel.Another important aspect is the analysis of the concrete impact of Harry Potter movie series on the book series. On one hand, due to its limitation, the film series is more fast-paced and shallower than the novel. Audiences and readers whose imagination is limited enjoy the pleasure from special effect instead of reflection on the book. On the other hand, it can not be denied that sometimes the film can help readers understand the original book further and even develop it. In addition, the film gives a boost to the best selling of the original book. Besides, the impact of the film on literature also can be perceived that J.K.Rowling’s narrative has traces of cinematic features because she wanted to conform to Hollywood cinematic expectations when she created novels.
