i don't do anything typically. the enjoyment factor of some books are ruined by seeing the movie first and visa versa. so i have no rules that i follow.
i'd certainly try the hollows and see what it's like.
i saw several seasons of true blood and enjoyed them a lot, then i read the first of charlaine harris' sookie stackhouse (southern vampire) novels. i enjoyed it, but i've not yet been interested enough to obtain and read another one.
the same with dexter as with sookie.
i think that you need to have read a harry potter book to be able to understand a lot of what goes on in the movie version of that book. i highly enjoy both.
i read the first percy jackson book, then watched the movie. i didn't like either one.
then there's movies based on heinlein novels, yikes! they have traditionally been so far removed from the books that they are mostly unrecognizable. puppt masters was awful (imho) but starship troopers was, to me, quite enjoyable, however neither were at all faithful to the source.
good grief, i could go on forever, better cut this short
