Book to Movie
A few books I’ve read that became movies are Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, and The Fault in
Our Stars. I think Harry Potter was great, but some details were missing from the book. I would
have included more scenes showing Harry’s friendship with his classmates. Also, I think
Dumbledore could have been played by a warmer, calmer actor in some of the movies.
In The Hunger Games, I really liked the casting, especially Jennifer Lawrence. But I would change
the ending a little to give more hope to the people in the districts.
