☇ALWAYS☇
MYCOOLTH-camCHANNELL !!! Yes
This is a great video, but the only one I disagree with is Harry breaking the Elder Wand. That was perfectly necessary, Voldemort got the Elder Wand from Dumbledore's grave, and it was too much trouble for what it's worth. Breaking it for good was the right decision.
Why didn't you include
Parvati and Padma wearing horrible dresses at the ball
In the 4th part
They were said to be the most beautiful
After Hermione in the movie
"HARRY DID YA PUT YA NAMEINDAGOBLET OFFIRRREE?!!" Dumbledore asked calmly.
XD
"I *AM* CALM!!"
asked calmly while kicking the table down, doing a backflip and slaping snape
It's the same "calm" your mother means when she's yelling at you 😂
😂
The scene where Neville visits his parents in the hospital just tore me apart. When his mother hands him - I think it's a candy-wrapper - for a Christmas present and Neville's grandmother tells him to throw it out, but he secretly puts it in his pocket instead...it is so heartbreaking. I know they have time constraints in film, but adding that scene wouldn't have taken long, would have added so much to Neville's character and would have packed an emotional wallop.
I don't think WB understood what they had. We would have LOVED a 3 hour movie, specifically for those moments. But WB seem to be messing up everything they own.
I agree. That scene really moved me and I think it would have been a wonderful addition to the films.
It would need a lot of screen time, as they would have to add the while hospital part with Mr wesly, as they would need a reason to actually show the hospital.
Its a bubblegum wrapper i guess they did not want to be like this "hey ya wanna be an actor for less than 5 minutes?"
@ULGROTHA I never had a big problem with the DC movies as a big DC reader/collector.
HARRY POTTAH**Sprints across room** DID YOU *shoves snape* PUT YOUR*backflips over table* NAME IN *strangles peeves* THEGOBLETOFFIYAH
*Dumbledore asked calmly*
Lol
Dumbledore backflipping sounds amazing. Imagine his beard rotating
Dumbledore must have been working out with either Rocky or Rost (100 points if you got the reference)
"Harry Potter!" Dumbledore sprinted."Did you-" He then proceeded to shove snape."Put your-" Then, he flipped over a table. Harry could tell he was furious."Name in-" He then attempted to strangle peeves. But ghosts are untouchable."In the goblet of fire?" Dumbledore asked calmly.
He couldn't have strangled Peeves in the movie
I think the worst omission is not including the reasoning as to why Harry has to stay at the Dursleys every year - it's because Petunia, being Lily's sister, causes the protection charm to work on Harry, meaning that, while the Dursleys are awful human beings, their house truly is the safest place for him.
There were also some scenes that hinted that Petunia did love her sister and regretted that they were estranged at the time of her death.
Good point
Yes, that would have been a good point to bring up.
I think that was one of the deleted scenes.
Yeah, wouldnt have costed them much time to ecplain this to the audience.
2 scenes we were robbed of. Dumbledore meeting the Dursleys. Arthur, the twins and Ron crashing through the fireplace in the living room.
Don't forget Ron calling the Dursley house and yelling at Vernon over the phone!
Alex Rodriguez all of Harry and Dumbledore’s private lessons too
Arthur blasting the Dursleys fireplace and them freaking out and throwing plates at him, the fiend fire that destroys the room of requirement, the Christmas dinner at Hogwarts when only a handful of people remained there, Dumbledore sending Harry and the Wesley's away when Arthur got attacked before Umbridge could be et to them (I feel like this scene was important since in showed Dumbledore working behind the scenes to subtly undermine Umbridge) and finally the Umbridge vs Mcgonagall series both in the Classroom reviews and the arguement of harry couldn't become an auror.
Yes! I want to see that so bad!
Alex Rodriguez
OMG I remember that scene damnit why’d they got to destroy that scene
Everything around Tonks: her background, her relationship with Lupin, her parents, her family bond with Sirius, Teddy,...
THE PART WHERE SHE PICKS HARRY OFF THE TRAIN!
Eh
But they still included her relationship with Lupin. There was a scene in Half-Blood when she referred to Lupin as "sweetheart" in the movie.
TEDDY
@@rubysrandomlair1522 oh yeah like that was enough
What about that one CRUCIAL detail about the prophecy, which (in books ofc) revealed that Neville could be in Harry's position as The Boy Who Lived?
neville actually might not have been i’m harry’s position. in the books it’s described that if voldemort had chosen neville and his parents didn’t/couldn’t did to save him, voldemort would have been all that more powerful
Because of his birthday, but it never would have happened for one reason : Snape. He asked Voldemort to spare Lily, so Voldemort actually gave Lily a chance to live. He wouldn't have extended the same offer to Alice.
I hate how the movies dumbed Ron down so much. He was AMAZING in the books and one of my favorite characters!
He was always a doofus
@21Youngstars ZH97
I think so too. It just changed everything sooo much. And then they also made Cho look so bad, when in reality ( cause I don't consider the movies ) it was her friend, Marietta.... And I could just go on and on but it still won't be enough....
@@Lasmelan
Yeah, well that's fair when you put it that way...
I'm not the biggest of Ron fans, but even I had respect for him in the books, not just for his great moments, but as the most consistent character throughout the book. He changed/evolved as the story went on, but his character remained much more consistent throughout the book, as opposed to Harry and Hermione, whose characters changed to suit the plot at times. Now I like Harry and Hermione more than Ron, but even I didn't like how their characters would change just so Rowling could get the exact end goal she wanted instead of keeping them consistent and finding a creative way to get the desired end result.
@@TheAwkwardGamer Nah, Ron was annoying in the books as well. He was lazy and envious. Don't forget how he acted in the Goblet of Fire. He spent months pouting because Harry got to compete. And in both books and movie, it was shown that he had the weakest character when he deserted his friends in the Deathly Hollows. There were things I liked about Ron, but he wasn't as good a friend to Harry as Hermione was.
The perfect example of how they screwed Ron over is the scene in the Shrieking Shack in Prisoner of Azkaban. Remember in the movie when Hermione tells Sirius, "If you want to kill Harry you'll have to kill us too!"? Yeah in the book that was Ron who said that while standing up despite a broken leg to protect his best friend! The movies really gave Ron the shaft and I don't understand why multiple times they gave his moments to Hermione who didn't need them.
SweenyTodd98 i love you
The worst offense for me was in Chamber of Secrets. In the book where the trio are at Hagrid 's and Ron was coughing up slugs Ron was the one explaining to Harry and Hermione what the term "Mudblood" meant. In the movie Hermione explained it! It made more sense in the book because Ron is a pureblood and he has lived in the wizarding world all his life. While Harry and Hermione lived in the muggle world. They knew nothing about the wizarding world until they got their letters to Hogwarts.
Justice for Ron
Yes! Finally someone who understands that Ron was WAY better in the books and that he was not made justice in the movies!
@@melissacooper4482 Was it tho? Hermione studied even BEFORE arriving at Hogwarts, she was basically absorbing every book she possibly could, so it made sense that she also knew. That's a nitpick in my opinion.
One of the things that annoy me is when hermione is called an insufferable know it all. In the books Ron goes off and gets a detention for defending her. Film: “he’s got a point you know”. 🤬🤬🤬
Hannah Minns YES I feel like the movies kinda destroyed Ron’s character I hated this part.
To be honest the film made me hate Ron more than the books did. I always felt that Hermione and Ron weren't made for each other after watching the films. I didn't feel like the movie did the couple any justice.
Xbabygirlx Bullshit I still liked him.
@@maysummers13 Well when you stop to think about it Ron's scenes in the books are from relatively unimportant moments that can easily be given to other characters. Because of that much of it got cut for time. It didn't help that Ron is only around for 3 of Harry's 7 adventures and actually abandoned Harry during their seventh one.
In regards to his relationship with Hermione the books don't really show them as being anything more than friends and really heavily relies on the reader accepting the idea that runs happen when the reader isn't reading. Which isn't convincing to everyone but it works on the books because of the medium. But in movies it needs to be shown.
@@maysummers13 I still ship Draco and Hermione tbh that storyline would have been awesome. Malfoy falling for the "mudblood" and Hermione for the bad boy. That pairing was actually JK Rowling's original idea but then she felt like it would have been too complicated to develop with all that was going on in the main plot so she decided to go with a more "convenient" pairing which was Ron and Hermione. Which she actually then regretted in later interviews 😂 PS if any of you are #Dramione shippers like me I can recommend the fanfic "ISOLATION". It is incredibly well-written and thought through, it's actually an alternate version of Deathly Hallows. It's SO GOOD! 😍
- sorry for any mistakes, English is not my first language -
“You don’t have to call me Sir.” If you know you know.
Loooove this Scene.
Yeah.. it was awesome
Detention, Potter. I will not tolerate cheek.
@@champan5861 Even from the "chosen one" xD
Yes!
How was peeves left out.
I remember in the last book when Voldemort died, peeves was going around saying "Voldy's gone moldy, Voldy's gone moldy"
Janyre D omg same i remember laughing so much at this back then lmao
@@lxddey6969 rightt lol
Or his hilarious song about Harry in the Chamber of Secrets, "Oh Potter, you rotter, oh what have you done?". The audio books for the series are sooo great. Jim Dale does such a fantastic job at all the voices!
Surely, the books we're also t more fun . The movies Just got depressing and Not fun at all.
Janyre D they were going to add peeves but I think something happened which excluded him in the movies
*they should've made the HP series into a TV show; each book being a season and each chapter being an episode* - they'd be able to cover a lot more important plot points that way
There's still hope for a reboot. Hopefully they do make it a series and maybe animated? That would make it easier to get a good cast, because the actors don't need to look like the characters.
At the time it was inconcievable. Let's not forget that the first HP movie came out in 2002... 9 years before GoT and cie showing how good tv shows can be. At the time, no network would have invested that much money in a tv show.
This is a fantastic idea!!
They should do that with Percy Jackson too
I'm in for that
What I hate is the news that The Cursed Child is not going to be made into a movie and that the book will.always remain a stage show
I HATE STAGE SCRIPTS
prefer proper novels not stage scripts or first person stories
That is why as much as I like the Harry Potter books I REFUSE POINT BLANK to buy the book
Changes i would have liked to see in the movies that the video didnt mention:
1. Snape wasn't mean enough.
2. Harry should have been more reckless and angry.
3. End battle should have been in the great hall in front of everyone.
4. Ron....I know they mentioned it but they really messed up when it comes to him.
Snape looks like he hates everyone already
The first one is unnecessary since Snape is mean even in the books he’s meaner
Snape should have read the 'Witch Weekly' article in from of Potions class. Full stop.
*cough* *cough* ginny.....
And Ginny
I really hate that they changed Harry‘s reaction at the end of the maze, when Cedric was caught by the root thingy. In the book Harry didn‘t even considered doing anything else than running straight towards Cedric to help him, whereas in the movie he was looking at the cup and then at Cedric, potraying him more selfish in my opinion.
I agree. After all the biggest Points for Harry IS that He IS noch t selfish, and also He doesnt want mir Re Fame Then He already has. He Always felt disturbed by His fame, so ITS unlogical that He wanted to win the Game at all bcs this would make Him even more famous in the whole school
Who cares he helps him in the end anyway
Yes who cares. It is still a game and only one can win. Nothing selfish about that.
I was suprised he helped him. Its a good change in the movie. Nobody is perfect
@@amann7166 You were surprised? I understand nobody is perfect, but Harry didn't even want to win the tournament too much if I remember correctly. He hated the fame it gave him, and so I'm very sure Harry would have saved a fellow person's life over gaining fame he hated.
And they also missed Ron and Hermione becoming Prefects
Elizabeth Rose Aqua hey you’re welcome to my harry potter channel ❤️🙋🏻♂️
@Eleanor Draws Until Dumbledore explained why.
That's the most annoying part
Harry and Hermione always 💞💞
@@sangeetasri8392 No
Wtf? What about Dumbledore NOT freezing Harry during his death scene?
Yeah in the book he was ready to fight, and in the movie he cowered in the corner.
JAHRONMON omg YES! This annoys me so much. It is so not Harry to just stand there and watch something happen. That’s the opposite of what he always does
holy shit lol did not expect you here! watch your videos and love your shoe reviews!
I think it's better in the movie, it shows the trust that Harry has in Dumbledore and therefore Snape. It also sends the message to Harry that something important is about to happen here so pay attention. In the books he has a blind hatred of Snape coming off like a loose canon who can't be trusted not to ruin the grand plan. JK also seems to be trying her upmost in this scene to not only turn us against Snape but convince us that Harry's blind hatred is justified. That he's held back by shock rather than magic I think makes the moment much more emotionally interesting especially with Alan Rickman's acting. In the books he's said to have contempt and venom towards Dumbledore but in the Movie you can see in his eyes that he's reluctantly carrying out an order to kill someone who he's grown to respect and admire.
Craig Bickerstaff- Its Snape's chracter development that he was made for hatred in the first 6 books and made to sympathise (with some readers) in the last. With Harry blindly hating Snape, it would make readers hate him too and then they can start understanding his backstory in the final book.
So annoyed how the HBP movie moved the focus from important things like Apparation and learning backstory of the Horcruxes to teenage love angst, and way too much Lavender Brown.
I love Lavender, and she's like my favorite character, but I have to agree with you here. They added extra scenes of her, when I needed to see more of Tom Riddle Sr. and Voldemort's mum, I forgot her name
@@wonderland07209 Merope Gaunt
The addition I liked about HBP is the story with Slughorn and Lily... the fish and the flower, that was really sweet and it emphacized on Lily's character, which was nice.
Actually Rowling herself asked the movie directors to add more Brown in the story.
I think Brown's exaggeration was to emphasize how terrible someone who uses love potion could be, just so we could get an understanding of why Tom Riddle Sr. promptly left when he was freed from the usage of the potion.
HP books deserve a full-fledged 7-season TV-series.
That's absurd.
नीलाभ श्रीवास्तव Imagine the needed Budget ... there’s no network capable of paying that lol.
@@flolikeyou6053 hbo could pull it off
It can be a cartoon reboot.
Oh man, Voldemort's death in the movie pissed me off SOOOO MUCH. The book was so much better, where Harry and Voldemort basically have a conversation while circling each other and Harry revealing in THAT MOMENT that he's the true master of the Elder Wand (as opposed to the movie, where Harry figures it out AFTER the battle). And then their spells collide (not merge) and Voldemort's rebounding spell kills him.
If there's one big scene that they totally and completely fucked up, it's that one. They could've fucked up multiple others scenes and I'd find it forgivable. But that last scene was like Imperius, Cruciatus and Avada Kedavra: Unforgivable.
I also can’t stand the fact that in the last film, the killing curse makes the people disintegrate and disappear completely, rather than just fall on the floor dead, like in the books and all the previous films.
@@KasabianFan44 maybe something they did cause of age restriction thingy to keep it for kids/teens
But then how would you explain Cedric and Sirius Black’s deaths, which did show their dead/dying bodies?
@@KasabianFan44 Nagini... Dinner.
When you have the dead bodies it looks more like murder. The deaths caused by the "good" side disappear dramatically (like molly and lestrange if I remember correctly) so they look more justified and less like murder. That's my guess.
Aaaannndddd what about the story arch of Percy Weasley turning his back on his family when and then (spoiler alert) comeing back for the battle at Hogwarts and taking his rightful place on the good side? How did that not even get an honorable mention!? Just as profound and significant as Dudley's arch!
i know right? He just disapeared from the picture in the movie, it wasn't even mention
Amaryllis Nightingale he’s in Deathly Hallows Part 2 during the battle at least.
That's a reach to equate the importance of Dudley and Percy.
One is a thorn in the side of the protagonist and has a transformative relationship over the series. The other one is the umpteenth sibling of a supporting character.
Did they evan explain that cause if not i need to go back to the book
Ya thats right but i think he shouldent have cause thats when fred dies
How about discovering that Umbridge was the one who sent the Dementors after Harry not Lord Voldermort!!!!
I know! It shows how deranged Umbridge is, and they just cut it!
Umbridge sending the Dementors made me think she killed the witch from Magical Law Enforcement in the next book. Also they shouldn't have made Dementors fly from #3 onward.
Do they even acknowledge who sent the dementors after harry in the film? I always remember thinking they just didn’t answer it...
@@joshhunt4146 they didn't. They just glided on by it
I was really looking forward to that scene. It shows just how corrupt Umbridge is.
I was disappointed when they cut off Dudley’s scene in The Deathly Hallows, him telling Harry he wasn’t a waste of space is so significant in his character development!
Also, I don’t think they shot a scene, but in the books, Aunt Petunia receives a howler from Dumbledore and you find out more of Petunia’s backstory as well. When it was revealed that Lilly was a witch, Petunia asked Dumbledore if she could attend Hogwarts as well, but he told her she couldn’t because she wasn’t a witch.
Scotti Brown Wow that would really explain her jealousy and animosity toward Harry. Because it felt unwarranted or just plain random in the movie. I really need to read the books I see.
Kam Bizzle also, there is one part in the books (don’t remember which book, it might of been Order of the Phoenix) that when taking about the Dementors (did I spell that right) Petunia knew exactly what they were and that their job was to guard Azkaban. Harry was surprised that Petunia knew what Dementors where and when he asked “how do you know” she kept saying, “doesn’t matter go to your room”
And with Dudley, in the Deathly Hallows, in the book when he, Petunia, and Vernon are leaving Dudley is seriously worried about leaving Harry, because Dudley is worried about Harry’s safety. Harry asks Dudley if the Dementors encounter changed him and Dudley goes “I think so”. My mother told me there is one scene in the books, where Harry accidentally breaks a cup of tea when he opens his bedroom door and he thinks Dudley is playing a joke on him, but Harry stops and considers, maybe Dudley was trying to be friendly
If it helps, I need to go back and read the books too. It’s been years for me!
@@scottibrown3274 Yeah, that's the part where Dudley starts to feel bad about how he's treated Harry all these years, once the Muggle world starts being affected by the Dementors and Death Eaters. It makes him take the magical world more seriously and he starts to show concern for Harry's well-being and maybe even admire him for being able to handle the pressure of that life. I think there is a part where Harry opens his bedroom door and accidentally knocks over a cup of tea. He assumes it was left by Dudley as a prank to make a mess, because that's how Dudley used to treat him. But afterwards he wonders if maybe Dudley was making a kind gesture towards him.
Pretty sweet, if you think about it. "Have a cuppa tea, brother." About as British as you can get! LOL
If they added that scene it would ruin the movie's dynamic opening pace.....
Scotti Brown ugh yessss one of the top things I think should have been added to the movies !! Def adds to Petunias character
And how Fred and George were able to afford their joke shop. In the book it's explained that Harry gave them his triwizard cup winnings, but in the film they just go from being completely broke to owning a huge shop without any explanation
Wow. This is one of the reasons why I find these movies pretty overhyped and have never agreed with anyone that they are somewhere in the top 100 movies of all time. Not because they are bad, which they absolutely are not, but how much important stuff they left out. You can’t put everything from the book into the movie as they are totally different art forms, but you can’t just change important stuff that helped the story flow well in the book. As a franchise, it is one of the best, but not all of the movies are amazing, like so many fans claim them all to be.
Hermione: your a great wizard you really are
Harry: Not as good as you
Hermione: I said WIZARD not witch
When was this?
@@argrimo Oh its just a joke thing
Lol
That part was incomplete, Hermione's answer in the book was something like:
Me?, Books, study, Harry, there are more importants things than that.
@@FireRaptor100 This is what she said
Me? Books and cleverness. There are a lot more important things than that. Friendship and bravery.
1. Movie ruined Ron and Hermione characters.
2. Lupin and Tonks oh my God that one of the good thing happen in the books.
3. FRED'S DEATH they cut it like it was nothing...
Not only Ginny and Ron. They did the twins dirty. Basically the movie ruined the weasley family part.
Dyasa shaendy I haven’t read all the books yet, I just started the first, but didn’t even want to continue after I saw the movies for the first time recently. Ron is so unlikable and heartless which makes it annoying that Hermoine falls for such a jerk. After reading this comment I’m considering keep reading because maybe there’s a lot more to their characters. In the movie it actually infuriates how obsessive Hermoine is with Rob seeing as how little he cares about her feelings and he’s just plain rude.
@@StefunnyStrange Start reading the books. You are missing so much.
Don’t forget Percy. He is almost completely excluded in the movies.
Kam Bizzle I recently read all the books and watched the movies and I had to turn the half blood prince off... the movies are so disappointing. The Order of the Phoenix is the worst movie but the Half Blood Prince is close behind it. So much is excluded and added and doesn’t even make sense. The books are amazing I’m glad I decided to read them after growing up with the movies.
@@dreamwishergirl Bill and Charlie aswell
The worst is how they changed Voldemort's death in the final film. In the book, everyone witnesses the final showdown between Harry and Voldemort, when Harry explains how he's the true owner of the elder wand, which I still think is one of the greatest plot twists ever. Voldemort is then killed when his spell backfires and then everyone breaks out into a huge celebration (while also still remembering/mourning those who died). It's perfect! In the movie, no one witnesses the final battle or how Harry outsmarts Voldemort about the elder wand. And then Harry goes back into the castle and everyone is all depressed. Totally anti-climactic and completely took away any sense of victory or fulfillment.
I also think it's horrible how they robbed Neville of his big moment. Yes, in the movie, he kills the snake with the sword of Griffindor and saves Ron and Hermione, but they're the only ones who witness his heroism. In the book, he kills the snake when he pulls the sword from the hat in front of everyone and it's epic! In the movie, they have him pathetically thwarted by a spell when he first pulls the sword out of the hat in front of everyone. The movie ruined two of the best moments in all the books.
Same .......harry explanation abt snape's loyalty and in order of phenoix the explanation of prophecy and his mothers protection charm sealed by Petunia and kreachers ,snape story .......more....
I liked Voldemort's death itself in the movies since having the main villain just fall on the ground when dying in this genre is as boring as boring gets
Couldn’t agree more. Neville pulling the sword of Gryffindor should be like Cap wielding Mjolnir moment.
@@chadpeterson5698 I disagree. He needed to die a "boring" death because in the end, he was only mortal after all.
What about Firenze? I really missed him in the movies. The fight with Bane, teaching divination...
At least he appeared, if only in the first movie: He was, as is revealed in the books, the very same centaur that sends Voldemort/Quirrel packing during the Forbidden Forest detention...and who explains the effect of Unicorn Blood on the body.
ik and i was waiting for the look on dolores face when another half breed tturns up thats what she gets for bullying hagrid
They also left out why Snape was the half blood prince
They didn't, he does say it towards the end of the film. Anyway I disliked those last films especially so much that maybe I've just imagined it.
@@melize7035 u didn't imagine it. He did say it but it wasn't explained why he was.
Why is he considered the half blood prince?
I havent really read the books but iam contemplating the ideas
@@Bamsynew he was half blood & his mom maiden name was Prince. I recommend the books. They're better than the movies.
@Lord Voldemort thanks for explaining but i still hate you
How they ruined Ginny in the films always pissed me off. In the books she was so cool, a great witch, sassy and all that. In the movies she was just meh. In the books it made sense why Harry fell in love with her, she was very lovable and the backstory of how they got together was much more described. In the movies it just seemed like they kissed once, never dated and then got married. Their relationship was much deeper in the books. That is why most of people who haven't read the books ship usually Harry with Hermione because they had bigger chemistry on screen. In the books, they were obviously still very close friends but the chemistry wasn't that big. For me, reading the books, Harry and Ginny were a great couple.
Thats what I think too. In the books, they also always describe Ginny as a fierce character and the backstory was explained at Dumbledore's funeral. It also shows that even they they had a clear relationship, they were never able to spend much time because of Harry's job of tracking horcruxes. Nothing is mentioned about the whole, "What would Ron think of this" in both half blood prince, and when he made the promise to Ron not to get to attached to Ginny in Deathly Hallows.
If you remember the part in book where Harry was ready to die in the hands of Voldemort and the last thing he saw with his eyes closed was Ginny's blazing face .....that scene gives such a great impetus to their story..... could have included it in the movie
Since everyone is sharing what else they disliked: What about the entire added scene of the halfblood prince where the death eaters attacked the burrow, or the fact that there was no actual battle at the end of that movie, just harry running after snape.
Totally agree with the injustice that Ron faced. They never showed him as the loyal, brave and intense charecter he was but only as the comic relief. They showed a few scenes of his, after they got to know he was going to end up with Hermione. Weasley is my king 💖
I have a feeling that if Ron got as many 1-on-1 moments with Hermione as Harry did, Ron & Hermione's relationship would've gotten a warmer welcome among fans. I've heard that many fans wanted Harry & Hermione to end up together.
Here's one that I just can't: for some odd reason, the writers decided to take some of Ron's lines and give it to Hermione. I feel like they wanted Hermione to be a perfect character and Ron to be the useless comic relief.
They did the same almost anytime Harry figured something out, they went all in for the "Hermione is the smart one"-trope. For instance, it was Harry that figured out who Nicholas Flamel was in the books.
Yeah totally annoying giving Credit to someone Else . I also felt Like Harry was actually funny many Times in the books, Loved how He can BE sarcatsic. But Hut He IS a total bore in the movies.
Probably because Hermione is his favorite character
Ye I feel like the directors really loved hermione. They wanted her to be perfect while in the books she had many faults.
steve kloves (the screenwriter) said that his favorite character was hermione, so i’m guessing that’s why a lot ron’s best lines were given to her.
"Have a biscuit, Potter."
I absolutely HATE what they did to Ron and Ginny in the movies!! They lose almost all of there character!!
Their NOT there.
I think they did Ginny the worst. They didn't give her any lines. And for god's sake she's Harry's future wife. They should have shown some chemistry. I honestly just wish they had cut Ginny out than do her this bad. In the books Ginny is this awesome character who isn't afraid to speak her mind, is brave, strong and witty legend. In the films Ginny got possessed by Voldemort's horcrux in her first year and pretty much just disappeared
as a character until HBP. And somehow Harry falls in love with her. Again she disappears until dumbledore's funeral and has about 5 minutes screen time in deathly hallows. After watching the films I don't blame the fan theory Ginny gave him a love potion.
@@neepamehta4738 If you want to blame anyone for how Ginny turned out in the films, blame Rowling. Rowling is the one who didn't just straight up tell the producers that Harry and Ginny would be official. So the producers thought it would be Harry and Hermione in the end, thus giving them lots of chemistry instead.
Not only that, but Ginny isn't even a very well developed character in the books either. Yes she does have a savage personality and is talented at Quidditch- but we haven't any idea *how*. She just does it! No sign of character development. We really should've seen more of Ginny in books 3 and 4.
@@catguy4996 Yes! But also the producers should know that Ginny and Harry were official right? I mean they were in the books so why wouldnt they also make them official in the movies?
@@xxliyagamingxxgamingkanal3955 Because before the 6th book, there was no way to figure out that Harry and Ginny would officially end up together. They started making the film adaptations as the 3rd book released.
Another honorable mention: Tonks and Remus’ Relationship
I really wanted to see Tonk's parents, especially since her mother was Bellatrix's and Narcissa's sister. Also wanted to see Voldemort's parents Tom Riddle Sr. and Merope Gaunt
Too Bad!
I really wanted to see Teddy
Well we could get Voldy killing his father and family in one of FB movies... maybe.
p 3vedi
same
They could have even had Helena Bonham Carter play Andromeda since Harry confuses her as Bellatrix when they first meet.
How about the fact that movie Harry DIDNT HAVE HIS MOTHER’S EYES?!
At least they tried. Contacts really messed with Daniel's eyes and CGI for every scene would costs way too much money and time.
Pamela Williams Then they should’ve cut all the lines that referenced him having his mother’s eyes. Them mentioning it just brought up the fact that he didn’t.
They should have just cast a young girl with blue eyes as Lily in the last one. They managed to do that with the adult Lily.
Um okay. Im just telling you facts. Unfortunately i am not in the movie business and had no say in the making of these films.
@@Lia23235 And to make things worse, Susie Shinner, who has Daniel Radcliff's blue eyes was cast as the young Lily Evans for Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince. They should have used her for Deathly Hallows instead of the brown-eyed Ellie Darcey-Alden.
well I think Harry breaking the Elder wand and just tossing it in the moat, instead of using it to repair his own wand and then returning it to Professor Dumbledore's grave should have been number 2 or 1, it always makes me angry when I see that scene if just breaking it and tossing it away..so not okay!
PipsKay I don’t rlly want a new person gaining control of the elder wand and this go all over again
Agreed! It explained the fact why he didn't need it because he got his own beloved one back
I know right!!! Also, I don't believe that a magically powerful object like that would lose its properties that easily.
I just watch the movie. Is that what written on book?that harry return it in Dumbledore grave?
I think it’s good since if it’s broken no one can become the master of the elder wand again
Something I missed a bit from the films was the attitude Harry had in the books - in the films he's usually a low-key pessimistic guy with happy moments, whereas in the books he had a really interesting resignated kind of personality with some sarcastic humor. Probably very minor, but the goodbye scene with Dudley reminded me of that.
"I don't think you're a waste of space."
"...thanks."
It wouldn't have fit well with movie-Harry but was absolutely spot on for book-Harry who seemed like he realized how strange life could be sometimes.
What i felt all the time. Harry IS wütend an interesting funny sarcatsic Charakter, but im the movies He IS kinda really boring. He IS just the Chosen one, and thats it. And He also has His smart times. ITS Not only Hermione thats smart all the time. And i love ved how He realized where the crown horcrux is, He saw and Had IT in His Hands, when He went to hide the halfbloonprince book in the Hidden room.
Well he does have a sarcastic moment in Prisoner Of Azkaban movie, when Ron says Sirius is a murderous, raving lunatic, and Harry says, ‘Thanks Ron.’
MOVIE HARRY IS SOO DRY
MOVIE HERMIONE IS SOO BORING
MOVIE RON IS SOO USELESS
BOOK HARRY IS SO HEROIC
BOOK HERMIONE IS SO INTELLIGENT
BOOK RON IS SO LOYAL
You forgot to mention that Neville’s grandmother was also omitted to be shown.
Sanjivini Tandon her outfit was shown and the sort of grandmothery stuff she wore like in the bogget with snape wearing she cloths
She was shown briefly in the first movie when Harry goes to the 9 3/4 station for the first time. Neville is seen with his grandmother observing the train.
Seeing Dumbledore yelling like a crazy man dressed up as a crazy man
Thank you for pointing out this ridiculous Dumbledore scene! It made me cringe so bad 🤦🏽♀️
true, idk what they were thinking. but fortunately he was on point the next few movies
:how short do you want Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix to be?
Director: *yes*
it’s not that short or long, it’s almost the exact same length as the other movies
Mallory Fallon yes but the 5th book was the longest
What about Snape calling Lily a mudblood when they were kids? I think it would have made her not being friends with him more justified instead of her just looking like she's falling for the bad boy with James, or that fate was cruel by putting them in separate houses.
+Dan Gurney
Actually the movies is more truthful in that regard. I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone who'd drop a life long friend because they called them something not nice one single time, especially given the circumstances. Best not to pretend like that is a legit explanation.
@@saribeepo.o5111 She was a very fickle friend.
She wasn’t fickle at all. In the flashback in Deathly Hallows, we’re told that Snape called all muggleborns except Lily “mudbloods” regularly, and that he had no problem with his other friends aspiring to be death eaters and attacking other muggleborn students with dark magic. He was fully on board with Voldemort’s anti-muggle philosophies and just pretended that Lily was somehow an exception to that. But then she tried to help him during that scene in Their 5th year and he called her a “filthy little Mudblood” and said that he didn’t need her help - he was embarrassed being seen needing help from someone of “lesser blood”, and Lily finally realized that Snape would always view her as a lesser human, despite claiming to be her friend. He was loyal to the death eaters and deep into dark magic and after years of pleading with him to change his ways, she finally had to break off her friendship with him to protect herself.
I totally agree.. According to the movie james was a bad guy.. So why did lily choose him over snape who always love nd protect her.. That wasn't portrayed properly..
@@NarnianQueenForever There's no reasoning with Snape stans. They absolutely refuse to acknowledge any of Snape's faults, let alone what is in the fucking books.
Dumbledores storyline... Harry realizing that all his heroes aren't perfect and that's ok.
No one gonna mention that the film miss "The Battle of Astronomy Tower" too?
The fact they removed Grindelwald’s slightly redeeming moment when he DIDN’T give away the location of the elder wand or any information for that matter
Edit: Typo
Am I the only one who's upset about the whole plot change of the Goblet of Fire? The ending where Barty Crouch Jr tells the whole truth was brilliant!
No. Not the only one. 4th book was my personal favorite until the 7th came out and I was so excited to see the film. It was a complete and total shit show to me. everything that made it special to me was either changed or taken away....and the worst of all was that fucking drunk, psychotic Dumbledore... it was horrifying to watch my favorite character being made into that...
Oh and the whole Barty Crouch change was so dumb...
And the fact of how both he and Peter died was missing
WHAT ABOUT WINKY?!?
Dumbledore "calmly" asking if Harry Potter put his name in the G of F will NEVER NOT be funny LMAO
Elizabeth Xiong
I know right? It's been over a decade and I still can't help but giggle and snort madly when ever this scene or meme comes up. 😂🤣
Devil snare scene in movie 1. Ron freaked out while Hermione remained calm, while in the books it was the opposite.
They often made Ron cowardly and dumb for the sake of comic relief and he's nothing like that in the books, he's just as brave as Harry. I hated it.
Also, the rushed ending of the 3rd film ruining the best book in the series. The shrieking shack scene in the book was one of the most important and emotional in the entire story.
Tbh it would make more sense for Hermione to remain calm compared to Ron, considering she knows stuff.
@@EdolasMystogan She has a lot of knowledge, but she was consistently written in the early books to break down under pressure sometimes, either straight up forgetting spells she's learned or that she can even use magic at all.
It really annoyed me when they didn't show Lupin coming to 12 Grimald place amd get in a fight with Harry. I felt this seen was very important.
Plus Lupin coming to Bill's home and making Harry the Godfather :/
2 most terrible things to ever happen to the Potterverse was Cursed Child and
Cursed Child
And the 2 guys who wrote most of that cursed book (because it makes you scream after reading)
I dont Accept the curseds Child as a harryp Potter books. ITS Just crap.
That just fan fiction
Jeez, is it that bad? I was thinking of reading it....
I'm so glad I never bothered reading it until after I heard from other people who've sacrificed their time and effort to warn others. Thank you for your sacrifice.
They can't put everything in the films from the books, but some of these are rightly upsetting.
@ULGROTHA If not a show, they should have done a mini-series. Although, having never read the LOTR series, when I watched that 3 hour long first movie, it sure as hell looked like they had put everything from those books into the movie (which I had seen).
For a lot of scenes there’s just no excuse. There’s one thing to omit semi-important scenes and another thing to completely change what happen and also replace vital scenes with teen angst and Lavender Brown chasing Ron around.
Omitting is one thing, but changing how events hapoened is anitger and worse.
Then they should add nonsense in the movies. Like the unnecessarily long dragon scene in movie 4 and the stupid fire in The Burrow.
Peter Pettigrew not being choked by his hand. I was pissed at that.
Ngl i wanted his death already when Sirius and Lupin wanted to kill him. LIKE WOW HARRY THANKS FOR RUINING REVENGE SIRIUS HAS WAITED LIKE YEARS FOR
@@xxliyagamingxxgamingkanal3955 You do realise that moment is meant to represent something. Harry finally understands the value of innocence right there. The entire book, he's been worrying about the Buckbeak trial, and Sirius Black turns out to be innocent, but if they had killed him, they would lose their innocence, and Harry finally learns the value that can have.
@@JonathanSmith-ge4pi Yea but Sirius also waited 12 years just go get that revenge. That thought kept him sane in Azkaban. I understand why he did it but it was kinda frustrating to read.
When Dumbledore stuns 5 members of the ministry in his office in the order of the Phoenix
Ron and Hermonies characters were wrong. Ron was made to look only like a fool and Hermonie was ONLY shrill and near tears.
Yes! I have been saying this about film Hermione for so long. Glad to find someone who agreed with me.
@@hannahmixon9725 Hermione in the books was awesome. In the seventh movie, after the marriage and after the attack of the deatheaters she said "ginny and me had a birthdaycake for you, harry" and i was escaping the movie after that scene. Jesus, the moviemakers hat one simple job, to make a great movie but they made so many many things wrong. Just pathetic
Especially in the last movies it was so obvious that the director would have prefered Harry and Hermione as couple. It was so annoying! All the scenes that showed how much Ron actually cared for Hermione and that gave him the depth that made it plausible that Hermione fell for him too, were cut out or changed. Like that scene when Hermione got tortured. In the books Ron completely looses it when he hears her screams, running around, punching the walls and screaming her name. In the movie he just stands there, looking as if he just stepped into dog poo.
Not only that Emma Watson was too pretty! They just curled her hair and didn’t make it puffy. She looked the most accurate in the first movie.
Right? Ron was actually a hero in most cases. He was funny, to be sure, but he was also a good person, a loyal and honest friend, and a defender of people who needed it the most. He was a true member of the Pride. That's what it means to be a Gryffindor and a Weasley.
Hermione, of course, was in many ways tougher. She was able to shoulder through a mountain of social pressures and became one of Hogwarts most successful students. She fought for what she believed in and shed more than tears. She was willing to die for the rights of the downtrodden, human and all manner of creatures.
If Hogwarts didn't make memorials or statues in their honor, I'd be shocked. Harry couldn't have succeeded in defeating Voldemort without them.
I'd put more emphasize on Ginny though... She was one of the best characters and her romance with Harry made just SO much sense... But the movie ruined her.
Ginny in the books was amazing
In the movies she awkwardly feeds Harry a pie.
Idk about SO much sense, it kinda came out of nowhere
She was kinda forgettable in the books as well. Only there to serve as Harry's love interest when book 6 rolled around and suddenly she's the most popular girl in school. Um, no thanks.
Yeah pal, not sure if the books are much better in this aspect; literally fanart made me ship them cause both books and movies were out of nowhere.
@@RoseluvsHHR yeah his interest in her came completely out of the blue in book 6. Book 6 is my least favourite and so is its film.
Dumbledore doesn't look angry to me. He looks deathly concerned and worried.
Completely agree with you. Did not see anger expressed towards Harry at all.
@@RJRyderVaughn Did not see anger? OK, even if that's subjective, you can't deny that's not calmly, he might as well have yeeted Harry off screen.
@@JonathanSmith-ge4pi I read the books and his reaction did not bother me. I thought his reaction was more in line with a father. I honestly did not like Richard Harris' portrayal of Dumbledore. I felt he made the scenes drag on. Just because J.K. Rowling stated that he said it calmly does not mean it would be what is best for a movie adaptation. She wasn't thinking in those terms when she wrote it. If you like it calmly then great. You have that right. I prefer the way it was said in the film.
@@RJRyderVaughn Well she specified he said it calmly because that's what Dumbledore was like. Dumbledore was very good at keeping his composure. I mean, he let Umbridge do a bunch of things until she lay a single finger on one of his students. He only really gets angry when his students are in danger, and it wouldn't have been that hard, or bad for the movie, to just have Michael Gambon say it calmly. Richard Harris was certainly a better portrayal of Dumbledore. Movies are allowed to change thing, but this is getting on the verge of changing the whole characters personality without much reason.
My top are definitely Ron and Ginny's characters, the Patil's dresses during the Yule Ball, that weird harry-hermione dance and of course, _calmly_ . The first and second movies are the only ones that seemed magical to me, but they're still really good movies
Komal Khan the patils dresses are traditionelle Indian dresses called sari. I don’t know how they were described in the book but they looked good for me 🤷🏻♀️
I honestly like the addition of Indian culture to the Patil’s dresses, due to their heritage.
They also didn't explain what happened with Barty Crouch jr. in the fourth part which was a huge reason as to why no one believed Harry and Dumbledore in the Order of the Phoenix.
U
Can you refresh my memory of what happened?
And in halfblood prince they skipped most of Voldemorts memories. I was reeeeeaaaaalllllyyyyy looking forward to seeing those and that really affected the movies badly cause they had no leads in what and/or where the horcruxes were. They just magically found them.
And also the Harry and Ginny love story was bad although this video briefly mentions that.
I'm really hoping that young Voldemort gets some screen time in the last three Fantastic Beasts films, perhaps then we'll get a chance to see some of those memories played out (like him killing the riddles and blaming it on Morfin)
I mean, we've got Nagini after all.
I know! I was really looking forward to the pensieve scenes and was really disappointed
And? These are adaptations. It would be impossible for them to include all the back stories from the books, unless they either made a TV show or made the film about 3 hours long.
@@smrutikshirsagar7760 me too. I'm really disappointed when I watched the movie.
Daniel James maybe, but then they invented a whole bunch of other scenes in the same film that didn’t serve the narrative but instead extended the running time, so...
I also don't remember seeing Voldemort's meeting with Dumbledore for the D.A.D.A teacher position in the Half Blood Prince...
When you hate a character like Dudley, the cutscene changed everything, this is very deep and heartwarming
I never even realised they never explained the map! Do they really not do the Gaunts? Guess my mind just filled in the gaps. Hated that they didn't cover Neville's story.
I love that WatchMojo is almost as obsessed with Harry Potter as I am.
It’s a commemorative series for the recent movie
This is MsMojo.
Jacob Andersen
They aren’t obsessed, they are using it as a tool to get money
me too
@@Fedekpc Probably a spin-off.
Even though the the movie for Chamber of Secrets was my favourite of the movies, I wish the movie would've included Professor Binns, and had him explain the Legend of the Chamber of Secrets to the students. As much as I love Minerva McGonagall, it would've made sense to have the History of Magic professor explain that legend to the students, rather than the Transfiguration professor. Even though Professor Binns didn't serve much of a purpose in the novels, him explaining the Legend of the Chamber of Secrets to the students was still his big moment in the books, and not casting an actor to portray him for that one scene was a missed opportunity, in my opinion.
Not only Ron and Ginny, they messed up a greatest character, Dumbledore. The guy has been shown as calm, intelligent and witty. His characterisation was a central theme in the book, but movies couldn’t even half justice. Some of the best lines of the entire series is his and yet in the movies they failed miserably with him.
You can’t deny, Dumbledore's got style...
One of the things I hated the most in the movies was how in Halfblood Prince the death eaters attacked The Burrow even tho it was protected with a fidelius charm and burned it down making everyone cry. But then it was perfectly fine a few months later during Bill's wedding. I understand they wanted to add some action but how about adding some of the action they deleted from the book?
Agreed! I actually like the scene itself, when the movie was up in cinema, I found that scene (knowing the books) really unexpected and exciting. But the problem is that it contributes literally nothing to the plot, it begins, it ends, has not a single consequence and nobody ever talks about it again.
They should have put more of the looking into Voldemort's past instead of the Harry Ginny relationship, which wasnt even supposed to happen till they won the Quidditch Cup towards the end.
Half blood prince I think is the worst movie of all of them. Easily the worst offender when it came to unnecessary changes and omissions.
@@Simpsfan300 No, I'd say that goes to Order of the Phoenix for sure. However, I do think it was stupid and unnecessary to film that scene... why not instead feature the end battle where the Death Eaters get into Hogwarts and fight some of the students?
It wasn't protected by the fidelius charm in HBP. it was protected by usual enchantements by the ministry coz it still wasn't under You know who.
Also the part of the book where Lupin tells Harry about his son
or the entire Lupin/Tonks subplot
And when Harry gets in a "fight" whith Lupin
Number 2 made me scream in delight and get really excited! It's so true! Ron got completely changed into a comic relief character. His lines got skipped to Hermione and they even changed simple lines towards Hermione from extremely sweet into rude. Such as the scene where Snape calls Hermione an "Insufferable know it all" in the third book. In the movie, Ron tells Hermione that Snape has a point, while in the book he stands up for her by yelling at Snape that "Why ask a question when you don't want an answer." He gets detention for standing up for Hermione when he noticed Snape hurt her feelings. No wonder people felt like they lacked chemistry. The movies cut all of it out. I loved Rupert Grint as an actor. So, this has nothing to do with him. Since skipping lines isn't his fault. It's the writers'.
Yeah, Ginny really did get the short end of that stick in the movies. Let's face it, in the books the relationship between Harry and Ginny built slowly. The movies made fans, who'd never read the books, wonder if she'd given him a love potion.
@@adamnesico Uh, no, Draco did not give Harry a Love Potion to give. Not in Rowling's universe. Somebody's twisted fanfiction maybe, but not in the books.
Worst change by far is that people who took polyjuice potion kept their original voices. It led to a lot of silly moments...including the biggest plot hole in the series: Barty crouch jr as mad eye moody.
I read somewhere that it was because Chamber of Secrets was still a children's movie. So they kept the voices so children would recognize and memorize it's Harry and Ron in Crabbe and Goyle's body :) Why they still did it in Deathly Hallows and Order of the Phoenix I don't know :)
@@danielabucekova9163 Moody was supposedly a great friend of Dumbledork and he didn't realize that his friend's voice was different?

Jamie Hood duh
I think so
Absolutely.
Jamie Hood LOTR is the best example of the film adaptations equalling the books
Movie clearly Destroyed Ron's & Ginny's Character
They also messed up snape’s memory scene........ seriously without reading the book one cant really understand that scene......
Ate you kidding!? I acknowledge their flaws but tge movies did some things, like that scene beautifully!
Book: “Did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire?” Dumbledore asked CALMLY.
Movie: “DID YA PUT YA NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIYAH!?”
Dumbledore yelled in fury
No no no.... More like DIDYAPUTYANAMEINTHAGOBLETOFFIYAAAH?
Richard Harris was perfect and I'm so glad I'm not the only one who sees that. Gambon even said he saw no point in reading the book which just adds insult to the foundations Harris laid.
I liked both actors..it's a shame Harris passed away right after the second book (I believe he took the part because his granddaughter loved the books) I thought Gambon did a good job though. He added his own elements to the character like playing him with a bit more edge.
I’m currently reading the first book and I’ve noticed a lot of changes between the movie and book.
In the book Neville was with Harry, Ron and Hermione when they first saw the 3 headed dog
Well we just have to remember that the movies couldn’t be as long as the books. Or they would have gone or for at least 4 hours each. Not that I would’ve minded twice as much of Alan Rickman.
Since i hate whatbthey Made to the movies, i wouldnt mind ifthey Just did a good Job and Made the movie 4 hours Long. I would even pay twice the Prince for the movies, since IT would BE Like watching 2 movies.
VOLDEMORT is the worst change. Totally different from the books in everything , he's evil because yes and he does not have any backstory =_=
I agree. Only COS Tom Riddle is good.
Christian Coulson and Richard Bremmer from the first movie (guy on the back of Quirrell’s head) were the best iterations of the Dark Lord. I love Ralph Fiennes as an actor but I didn’t like him as Voldemort. He was more campy than menacing and didn’t even get the high, cold voice Bremmer did. I also wish they could’ve included the red eyes. And don’t even get me fucking started on his death scene -____________-
Agree 100%. They made him look like he some kind of autism disorder in the movies.
@@Scott125670 Bremmer didn't do Voldemort's face or voice. It was Ian Hart (who played Quirrell) who did both. Bremmer just played the hooded figure going into Godric's Hollow.
I'm a little surprised that the duel of Voldemort and Dumbledore is not here. In the book, the chapter "The Only One He Ever Feared", Dumbledore was always in control, that duel was one sided. In the movie, they present them as equals. Dumbledore and Voldemort are not equals
👏👏👏
That's right. Dumbledore explained in the prophecy that Voldermort marked Harry as his equal. So Harry and Voldermort were equals.
Really? In the movie Dumbledore didn't seem to have trouble either. Every attack Voldy used, he negated it and didn't finish Voldy with the water ball is because he got distracted by Harry.
Dumbledore and Voldemort are equals in terms of magical mastery and that is visible in both iterations of the duel since none could really outclass the other. The big diference is that whyle the book version showed Dumbledore keeping calm and colected troughout the duel to intimidate Voldemort, the movie showd him geting woried and Voldemort more confident to highten the tension. In both cases, Voldemort realises he can't win easly against Dumbledore so he tries a cheap tactic. That's where Dumbledore, and Harry for that matter are superior to Voldemort. They have way better character. Dumbledore engaged in a duel knowing full well he could loose and die to protect Harry, whyle Voldemort only fought because he was desperate to kill Harry before Harry could "Vanquish" him and gave up the duel once he saw he could loose.
One sided? The fight was a STALEMATE in the books...
Or the Battle of the Astronomy Tower where several DA members take the rest of Harry’s Felix Felicis? Or the entire Battle of the Department of Mysteries? Also would have loved to see Minerva, Horace AND Kingsley dueling Voldemort at the same time
For me the worst was the change to Sirius' death. The whole point was that he was killed by that creepy veil. He fell through the curtains due to some random spell. He was not killed by the killing curse. There was really no good reason to change that. Yet they did and it killed the mystery of probably the most interesting object in the Potter canon.
Now I got to read the books.
Fabled Thunder Yes, especially the fifth. There’s a lot that missed in the film. The conversation between Harry and Dumbledore is so good and explains a lot ...
Do itttt!!!! There's so much more information, characters and subplots.
Yes you should. I’ve been watching the movies for years but I never really connected with the story until I finally read the books this year. Incredible
Yes! You should do it. I had watched all the movies multiple times before I got to the books.
When I finished the 4th book, I was in awe by how much more information and amazing connections there were. If you are lazy to read, you can find the audio books recorded by Stephen Fry, they are brilliant as well.
Please do. The movies do a pretty poor job conveying the whole story.
I think the worst change was the awful way dumbledore was portrayed. In the first movie he was absolutely perfect but when they had to replace him it was so disappointing.
Micheal Gambon did the role pretty well actually. Yeah he wasn't perfect in Goblet of Fire but in Order of the Phoenix and the Half Blood Prince he nailed the character
I agree. The first actor was perfect as Dumbledore. In the books Dumbledore was always soft spoken, kind, and wise. He also was always in colorful and eccentric robes in the books, where they had with the first actor but just decided to put the 2nd actor in gray the entire time. The 2nd actor was just too serious and upset looking all the time, in the books he always had an inquisitive smile playing at his lips and was calm even when angry.
This is exactly why I always encourage anyone who loves the movies to read the books. I get where certain things were cut, changed, or omitted. But this list is on point.
Let’s just all agree that they BUTCHERED the HP books in the movies and be done with it.
True.
Less Dobby scenes and explanations to things
Ya. That's why when you only watched the movie without reading the book, you woudnt feel too sorry for dobby's death.
I alway felt that in the movies Dumbledore's and Harry's relationship was very distant, while in the book Dumbledore was a father like figure and he really cared for Harry. They had these long talks and he was always supportive.
Plz read the books too!!

I AGREE 100% WITH ALL OF THESE! Especially Neville's parents and the house elfs.

I think if it was less aggressive and more hurried it would have worked just as well as the books.

- Missing so much of Snape's storyline and why Dumbledore trusted him so much
The films are good, but once you read the books, the films just lose so much awesomeness.
The worst, is that the conversations between Dumbledore and Harry are severely cut. They had such poignant moments, all those times he explained to Harry what he believes is happening, or why it is so. And it removes the emotion within their relationship. It almost makes no sense that Harry is crying over his dead body, so hard.
Most annoying change was getting the Harry and Ginny kiss completely wrong from the book!
How?
@@scpmaster2758 , their kiss in the book is them running together, it was explosive.. The director said he needed to slow the action down and he completely destroyed the spontaneous, passionate, explosion that the book makes the kiss.
+Ryan DiBerhanrdo
We have a (funny) typo in the Dutch books, right before Harry dies.
It said something like; 'He remembered Ginny's lips on hís.." (on hís lips.) 'His' was the final word there.
However, that was translated into Dutch like; 'And Ginny's lips on his-" making it all a bit weird and suggestive, as if they couldn't mention what her lips were attached to at the time.
@@Widdekuu91 , oh my!
I remember in the book Harry and Ginny kiss in the common room after Ron Weasley helped win the championship game.
agree with a lot of points, but for me the major disappointment was the change at the end of the half blood prince, they cut completely the battle inside hogwarts with the attack by the werewolf Fenrir greyback to Bill weasley changing him an half werewolf , they briefly show Bill's scarsl in the 7th movie. And the completely missing part of the Gauts and all the memories of Voldemort they didn't show in the movie, this memories where essential to understand Voldemort logic with clues to what are and where to find the horcruxes
Bracchi Alessandro Fine Art I never really understood how the found the horcruxes which shows me I need to read the book. The movie makes it seem like it was just plain dumb luck that they found them all.
@@StefunnyStrange that's why all the flashbacks of young Voldemort are so important because they give clues about the horcruxes and about Voldemort thinking process.
I dont get why they didnt Show them. After all, the whole books biggest Point was to find about about Voldemort and where He could have Hidden His horcruxes and in what .
Ron sucked in the movies. They took all his hood parts and gave it to hermione
