What's Better - the Movies or the Books?

Film adaptations of books usually endure scrutiny from both critics and fans alike. But in the case of Harry Potter, we don't care about critics - we just want to know what YOU think.

Earlier today on Ankeny Patch, we ran a story about for the onslaught of fans who will be attending the midnight showing of the final installment of the Harry Potter series, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2," arguably one of the most anticipated films of the summer.

But behind every Harry Potter movie is a Harry Potter book either waiting to be read or falling apart at the binding. Some will argue the movies are better, while some will disagree. That leaves us with a likely question in the debate between books vs. film adaptations. In the case of Harry Potter, which is better - the movies or the books, and why? Tell us in the comments! (And you'll get extra credit if you tell us which installment was your favorite)
