In my opinion a novel is always better than movie as first of all it is an original idea, when you read a book it is like someone’s invention their imagination, their discovery, their feelings that they are sharing with you in hope that you will connect with it.
But at the same time they are giving you the freedom to perceive that idea, that feeling, that world in your own way. That helps us to build our own world in it.We can imagine how the hero might look, how the scenery described might look. Whereas in movies we don’t get that freedom as we are presented with a picture of everything.
While reading books you can create your own world based on the description provided by the writer, you have the right to think how the poverty must be, or how the rich would be living, we our self have freedom to think what the season would feel like how the neighbourhoods be, even if the writer has provided its description in the book.
We get a creative freedom in reading.
Whereas when we watch a movie first of all we lose the right of creative freedom, also the movies are based on books and are not able to capture every feeling every emotion, provided in the pages of books. you feel what the actor is trying to portray you don’t get to feel what their inner mind is saying which we are able to do in books.Movies tend to lose the depth that books have. Why should Narnia look like how they have shown in movie, why should witch have that face, I want Narnia to be everything described in book and much more, I want the witch to look the way the writer has described but have a face that i imagine. But when i am presented with a picture then I lose my imagination and see the director’s imagination.

In the past we have seen several wonderful adaptation of novel into movies like harry potter,lord of the rings,the help, TV shows like game of thrones or even the super hero movies based on comics. But still the love for these novels and comics shows us why people still want to read these and feel what they want to feel instead of someone showing them what they should feel, what they should imagine and what they should see. We always hear people saying that the movie was good as the book but in very rare scenario have we seen someone saying that the movie was way better than the book.
Books give you imagination whereas movies represent someone’s imagination of that book.
