If they’re done right.

27. Which book was ruined by its movie adaptation?
I wouldn’t say ‘ruined’ but I feel that the Beautiful Creatures movie has made the books seem less appealing when the books are absolutely amazing. The concept is just something that was difficult to portray on screen which led the film to be confusing.

The Hunger Games movies or The Harry Potter ones.
