Harry Potter Books vs. Movies: Can You Identify The Differences?
Every time a popular book is turned into a movie, there is never enough time to capture everything. For practical reasons, it’s simply not possible to make a film without omitting details or storylines to keep things flowing and to prevent the movie from being seven hours long.
When it comes to Harry Potter books vs. movies, there are tons of details that were added or left out of the movies, like Nearly Headless Nick and his Deathday Party, that Harry’s father was actually a Chaser and not a seeker, or that actor Rupert Grint had different color eyes than Ron Weasley has in the books. There are even multiple differences when it comes to the Quidditch World Cup, the Death Eaters, Harry’s parents, and how Harry Potter is protected from Voldemort.
So let’s see if you’re wearing your Wizarding World hat and can remember everything about the Harry Potter series and the biggest differences between the books and the movies.
Harry Potter Books vs Movies
The differences between the Harry Potter books vs. movies are much longer than you could ever imagine. For starters, Rudolphus Lestrange was the husband of Bellatrix Lestrange, and along with Barty Crouch Jr. and Rabastan, they would end up kidnapping Neville Longbottom's parents. That is why Bellatrix ended up as a prisoner of Azkaban for life. This is just one of the many differences between the books and movies.
If you're a movie buff whose only Harry Potter knowledge involves the films, you would not know just how important every single one of these details was to the story. Like when Sirius gave Harry Potter a two-way mirror in the books. That was glossed over in the movies, but in the book, it would end up saving his life. Fans always enjoy discussing the different details that were left out of the Harry Potter movies.
