Harry Potter’s innocent look among the “towers” of the wizard world is only fully satisfied in the film adaptations, while the original stories lend way to sharp detail and endless imagination for the reader. The “original story” is not more significant than its’ offspring, all artwork is distinct and significant in its’ own right. Music’s versatility allows for Johnny Cash to adapt Nine Inch Nails’ “Hurt” into his style and genre of music without losing effect on listeners; this type of adaptation carries artwork from one generation to another, which would be lost without adaptations.
Saying that the “original story” is more significant than the adaptation(s) is like saying that crayons are better than colored pencils, neither is better than the other; they both have their own unique characteristics. Adaptations are not less significant than their counterparts, for without these adaptations the “original story” loses its’ flavor, its’ reach. The “original story” and adaptations work together to broaden the reach of stories’ influence.
