rogueslayer452Day 3 - Is there any of the films adaptations that have made you angry because they’ve ignored important parts of the book?
Not particularly, since I view the movies on a different and separate level from the books.
Because the entire world of Harry Potter is so thoroughly rich and elaborate, it's nearly impossible to have everything included to make everyone happy. Someone somewhere is going to be complaining about something in regards to the films. Certain scenes are left out, filmed but cut out for time, shifts and changes from the books in places, not preferred casting choices, etc. I understand the frustrations fans have for leaving stuff out and yes there are things I wished they could have included from the books in the films, but I can also understand why they would leave things out from a production perspective. So to answer the question, I have been less than impressed on specific directorial/editing decisions or an overall view, but not outright angry.

I feel for Daniel though, I didn't actually remember that, although now that you mention it I remember reading that like, A ZILLION YEARS AGO when the movies were first out and such. I can't wear contacts because of irritation too, so I understand that.
PFFT, CGIing his eyes is just DUMB and EXPENSIVE...
I guess I just never really understood all the nitpicking people do over the littlest of things.
Like I said, I felt the exact same way until GoF.
I don't know, it flipped a switch or something?
And actually, with HBP and with Deathly Hallows I didn't have anything to nitpick really. I think I get passionate about Goblet of Fire because of what was going on around the time it came out I had all these strong feelings about it. I was very very heavily involved in HP fandom at the time, I was a film student (like, specifically film, my program now is much much broader) and analyzing everything, and it's my favorite HP book.
