Harry Potter: "The Refining Process" On the Films, and Variations from Canon
(In Which I have Far Too Much Time on My Hands)
The Refining Process
( There's a tendency within fandom to judge films almost as enemies to the canon. Even though we accept that by virtue of the fact that it must be different to fit the constraints of film, we seem to be less forgiving about omissions and alterations than maybe we should be. It's easy to realise why. We're in the middle of the series in the films and books. Nearly every character can make difference in the final book. Minor characters can become major, linkages between plot threads can emerge. There's still everything to play for. )
