Harry Potter is one example of how a series of books have been remediated into video games, books on tape, and motion pictures. These remediations vary in how they differ from each other. For example, the Harry Potter video games mostly stray away from the books in regards to characters and story line. The books on tape closely follow if not replicate the exact texts from the book however give a different interpretation of the novel due to the readers tone and how he/she narrates the book. Lastly, the Harry Potter movies follow the books, however lack some great detail (scenery, characters, and events) that was encompassed in the books. One who has read the book, and then gone to see the movie, will often leave disappointed because some of the elements given in the book are not as clearly noted or expressed correctly by the actors.
