I Wish I Hadn’t Read the Book [Philosophical Monday]

So I finally went to see the final Harry Potter movie last night and …. well it was good. It was fine. Really it was. It was just that throughout the entire affair, I kept on thinking that I would have enjoyed every part of the movie a lot more if I hadn’t read the book.

This was a first for me. Usually I take joy in seeing how books translate into movies. But in this case, it seemed like I was missing many of the lovely surprises that happened in the second half of the book as opposed to anticipating them. For the first time, it felt to me that I had spoiled the movie by reading the book.

Has this ever happened to you? Have you ever come out of a movie wishing you hadn’t read the book first? If so, let me know in the comments.
