30 Days of Harry Potter: Day Three

[rogueslayer452]

Day 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.

GOBLET OF FIRE.
AND HOW THEY CONDENSED LIKE THE FIRST THIRD OF THE BOOK INTO LIKE 10 MINUTES.
That's an exaggeration but whatever.
Until that movie I didn't really care.
But it's my favorite book so...
