Furthermore, it is amazing to see how director sees characters. There are lots of different nuances that we cannot find out while reading a book. When you watch Harry Potter and his friends on TV screen, his magic adventures become so wonderful that you cannot turn your eyes away from the action.
On the other hand, some events are not showed in the film as it lasts only a few hours. In this case sometimes we can see just main actions so the story is not told us with detailed descriptions.
In conclusion, I think it is not bad to watch a film version of favourite books. We can really find out new qualities of characters and see at the plot in director’s way.
Text A. The Charyn Canyon. The beauty of Charyn is comparable with the Grand Canyon in Colorado, North America. The Charyn Canyon is 80 km long. The bizarre shapes left by erosion and weathering will transport you to a fairy land of fantastical sculptures. The Canyon has preserved an ash-tree which survived glaciation. The Charyn River is perfect for white-water rafting.
Text В. The Turgen Gorge. One of the most picturesque places in the environs of Almaty, the Gorge plunges 44 km deep to the vast Assy plateau. It is blessed with coniferous and mixed forests, alpine and sub-alpine meadows, lakes and springs, medicinal herbs and wild raspberries. The Gorge is famous for its waterfalls. The Medvezhny (Bear) waterfall is 30 m high, while Bozgul is a powerful flood of water that has worn away an entire tunnel in the rock. The specially protected Chin - Turgen mossy fir forests, the only ones surviving in the Tien-Shan, are also to be found here.
Text C. The Singing Hill. The right bank of the Ili River is famous for a natural phenomenon: in dry weather the sands make music that sounds like an organ playing. The quartzite sand hills - Bolshoi and Maly Kalkan - are over 120 m high and stretch for 4 km. Despite the looseness of the sand and the strong winds, the sand hills do not migrate through the plain, but have remained in the same place for millennia. A new type of slalom has become popular - skiing down a sand hill.
