Harry Potter
Day 3: Is there any of the films adaptations that have made you angry because they've ignored important parts of the book?

lol, all of them? I think the worst is probably Prisoner of Azkaban though. It's great as a film - it's entertaining, and it had that dark magical side that I personally thought the first two were lacking somewhat. I love the scenery, the director was great in this. But. The Marauders? Why weren't they there? My dad and my brother haven't read the Potter books (ikr, how sad), and they left the theatre a bit confused when I mentioned the Marauders. They left The Half Blood Prince pretty confused, too. The film missed out way too much Voldemort backstory in that. The point of the horcruxes was that they're found in objects Voldemort keeps as treasures. That wasn't in the film at all.

Though tbh, I've always had smaller nitpicks about the films. I remember being annoyed about how Ron doesn't look like the Ron I pictured. Where are his freckles? Why isn't he really tall (fair enough, he's taller than Harry, but DanRad is pretty short anyway, tbh)? And a bigger nitpick: WHY IS HE REDUCED TO GOOFY SIDE-KICK ALL THE TIME, AND WHY IS THE AWESOME HARRY/RON BROMANCE NOT AS AWESOME AS IT SHOULD BE? I love Harry's friendship with Hermione, but I've always considered him closer to Ron. The films don't show that at all.

Don't get me wrong, I love Rupert and I think he's a great actor. The films don't give him material he can shine with nearly enough.

And Harry...




Hermione is pretty close to how I imagined her actually. I don't even care about her hair not being really bushy in later films, it's how she looked in my head, okay. Though her always getting Ron's lines sort of annoys me.

I have minor quibbles with other stuff too (and rather large quibbles about PoA-HBP Dumbledore), but I won't bore you with my rant anymore lol.
