Wicked by Gregory Maguire
First it was a book. Then a Broadway hit musical. Now a major motion picture! I love it when someone takes a classic series and puts a twist to it.
I bet you don't even remember that it was a book before it was a play before it was a movie?
Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (Wicked Years Series #1)|Paperback
This was probably THE most anticipated movie of 2024.
Wicked (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray+ Digital)
I had forgotten that this was a series and not just a stand alone book.
Son of a Witch (Wicked Years Series #2)|Paperback
Third book in the series started with Wicked.
A Lion Among Men: Volume Three in the Wicked Years|Paperback
Fourth book in The Wicked Years series.
Out of Oz: The Final Volume in the Wicked Years|Paperback
The next book in The Wicked Years series releases in March 2025!
Elphie: A Wicked Childhood (B&N Exclusive Edition)|BN Exclusive
Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
The author and the books are both controvertial. The Harry Potter series was perennially on the top 10 banned books list. I loved them when I was younger, but as time goes on they become more problematic upon reflection.
The book that introduced generations of kids and adults alike to the orphan boy wizard.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: 25th Anniversary Edition (Harry Potter Series #1)|Paperback
The movie that brought the Wizarding World to life. “You're a wizard, Harry!”
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
You're a wizard, Harry! RIP - Robbie Coltrane and Richard Griffiths.

Okay, I'm a bit biased, but the best part of the second book in the Harry Potter series has to be the introduction of Dobby the Hous Elf.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: 25th Anniversary Edition (Harry Potter Series #2)|Paperback
Dobby is my favorite part of the book, but it's the flying car that goes feral in the Forbidden Forest that I enjoyed most in the movie.
Harry Potter And The Chamber of Secrets
Dobby and the cake! Harry Potter must not go back to school.

The ending of this book was such a gut punch. Harry got so close to having an adult who cared for him and it was snatched away so cruelly.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: 25th Anniversary Edition (Harry Potter Series #3)|Paperback
Yet another year at Hogwarts where the adults utterly fail to do their duty to protect their students.

More than one life may be saved tonight.
Harry Potter Time Travel Scene
S.P.E.W. That is all. LOL.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: 25th Anniversary Edition (Harry Potter Series #4)|Paperback
I think the part of the movie where the visuals made it better than the book is the arrival of the other schools.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
This scene just made the book come alive.

Enter the Pink Toad and her educational decrees.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: 25th Anniversary Edition (Harry Potter Series #5)|Paperback
The casting of Delores Umbridge was PERFECT.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
The reveal of who the Half-Blood Prince was surprised me, and I'm usually pretty good at spotting plot twists like that!
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: 25th Anniversary Edition (Harry Potter Series #6)|Paperback
As the Golden Trio gets older and the books get longer, they leave more and more out of the movies. In this one, it's a lot. The character development of Draco Malfoy was practically gutted in the movie.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
The FIRST major character death happens in the first 40 pages. And I'm not talking about Moody. *sniff* As far as I'm concerned Hedwig survived. A kind muggle found her and nursed her back to health. She reunited with Harry after the war. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: 25th Anniversary Edition (Harry Potter Series #7)|Paperback
The book was so long and the plot so complicated they had to split it into 2 movies. They probably could have done an entire trilogy.
Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows - Part 1
This was such a sad ending. Snape, Remus, Tonks, Colin. *sniff* *sob*
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2
Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin
So I've never read these books, but my brother in law loves them. I've heard enough about the misogyny to just decide to take a pass.
For those who want the set, this is a beautiful boxed set of the Game of Thrones series. It would be a great gift for those who love the HBO Max series, but haven't read the books!
George R. R. Martin's A Game of Thrones 5-Book Boxed Set (Song of Ice and Fire Series): A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Crows, and A Dance with Dragons|Paperback
I'm sure my brother in law watched these, and I watched a couple of the first episodes. This series is just too violent for me.
