Are you a true Potterhead? Try this "Harry Potter" Book vs. Movie Quiz.

Harry Potter is a series of seven fantasy novels written by British author J.K. Rowling from 1997 to 2007. These books were later adapted into eight movies by the American production company, Warner Brothers’ Studios. The final novel was turned into two movies due to the intricacies of the final book and the studio's wish to do the story justice. Due to the focus on visual effects and the length of the movies, some details of the original books did not appear in the Warner Brothers’ adaptations.
