Darth Vader: came close to taking over the universe
Sauron: almost took over the world
Voldemort: couldn't even take over a high school
*didn't come close to taking over the universe
*didn't almost take over the world
+Geno actually well Vader almost took over the universe, at least another galaxy or two he could've done. Remember he nearly single handedly took over the galaxy while Palpatine sat on his ass and storm troopers can't hit sh!t. The rebels knew he was building a super weapon that could destroy entire planets, and they didn't sucsessfully stop him, he was pretty powerful and at least took over one Galaxy, you gotta admit that's impressive.
Yeah, Vader only took over a galaxy (which is all he wanted), and even then it was mostly Palpatine.
Galaxy, not universe. Also, the Emperor kinda would have been praised for that.
Technically Voldemort took over Hogwarts (and the Ministry) after Dumbledore had died.
Book: Dumbledore says to Harry "Harry, did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire?" in a calm manner.
Movie: Dumbeldore angrily asks "HARRY DID YOU PUT YAH NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIYAH!?" as he shoves him against the trophies.
JSpiker178 LOL True. I always wondered why Dumbledore was so aggressive in Goblet of fire, he practically man-handles Harry throughout the whole film
JSpiker178 I remember that meme
I always thought that was out of place considering Dumbledore was always very nice and calm
yea I was so disappointed at that scene
JSpiker178 it's at the end of the video
To correct you
Book: Voldemort dies like a human
Movie: Voldemort was killed by thanos
I thought he just vanished and the Fire Nation began attacking.
You copied the top comment and changed it slightly
gg
Wormtail, I-I don't feel so good
Yaaaas
LarryOli 11 stolen comment
Can we discuss what they did to Ron's charecter?
In book: snape calls Hermione a know it all and Ron jumps to he defense saying something along the lines of "you asked a question and she knows the answer if you didn't want to know then don't ask"(paraphrasing)
In the movie: "he's got a point, you know" -Ron.
damn right
Also. In the books when Hermione is tortured, Ron goes crazy screaming and trying to knock out the door. In the movies looked like he barely gave a shit.
That's it im gonna wipe my memory clean of the movies and re-read the books
Ron said that because they loathed SNAPE.. but there's also some truth of em being annoyed with Hermione's know-it-all attitude.. that's just the way she is
@@kcue9466 yeah, he does find it annoying at times but he doesn't see much wrong with having a smart friend around. Plus hermonie actually likes having someone debate her on a topic instead of just agreeing with her.
To correct you-
Book: Voldemort dies like a human
Movie: Voldemort explodes into confetti.
This made me laugh for some reason
Yes, and that reason is his amazing profile pic.
The ending in the film was so anti climatic I actually forgot the ending when I saw for the first time (I hadn't read the books then). It simply didn't have the kind of impact I was expecting.
*explodes into confetti* 😂😂😂
i am your 1042nd like:)
Book:
Harry, did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire?
Movie:
HARREHY, DAID CHUUU PUT CHUR NAIME IN DA GOBBLETE OF FAIYAHHHH?! HUH?!? DID YA?!
One of the many reasons the fourth movie is my least favorite.
I was waiting for this to be the top 1. 😂😂😂😂😂
So, you're unhappy about the accent someone used to speak the line? What's the point?
Michael Lefort no lmao in the book it says he said it "calmly" in the movie he basically yells at Harry
I came to the comments section to find this one.
Books: Harry owns and uses his Invisibility Cloak often
Movies: Harry forgets he owns an Invisibility Cloak 3/4 of the time.
bigbake132 you mean 9 3/4
@@alexifelton1070 nice
In the books he always kept it in his robes just in case and used it always
@@kabirqirati1160 Yup
Bcz movie is movie we need plot convenients
And logicless trashs in movies
Book: Dumbledore gets a funeral
Movie: Dumbledore gets wands held up like lighters at a rock concert.
Omg haha for real 🤣🤣🤣
Fr tho
Frreer
@Aussie Pigeon Man That was his funeral, raising their wands to honour Dumbledore.
Lmao 😭
Book: Ginny is an awesome, fiery girl with a cool personality and it's plausible that Harry would fall for her.
Movie: Ginny is boring and dull as a board.
Kaela Bynoe Ikr, I loved her in the book, but she made me cringe in the movie so much. I don't know if they wrote her like that specifically or if the actress was just bad.
so movie Ginny is like the Harry Potter series
Book: Ginny is seen in multiple movies, trying to flirt with Harry as much as possible.
Movie: After the 2nd film you rarely see her again.
This Harry too though.
Like pretty much any other woman in the movies apart from Hermione who is of course off-limits for Harry =D
“Do you remember me telling you we are practicing non-verbal spells, Potter?"
"Yes," said Harry stiffly.
"Yes, sir."
"There's no need to call me "sir" Professor."
Dawe202 So much sass lol
I really missed Harry's sass when I was watching the movies
Dawe202 one of the best Harry comebacks
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH
Dawe202 Daaaaaaamn, best comeback ever
Thing I hated most about these movies was how they treated Ron. I mean it's Harry's story, but at the center of whole story is golden trio. Ron is Harry's best friend and confidant, but in movies it was golden duo and some annoying hangaround who follows them. And they changed Hermione and made her perfect superwoman, when in books she's smart but has flaws.
Correct that was the greatness of the book no one not even the main protagonist was perfect
I feel like they gave a lot of harry and Ron's qualities to Hermione
Well, you know how feminists will react if the female protagonist is just as flawed as the male protagonists 🤪
@@wilhelmdietz4023 *feminists without brains
The director was a bigger fan of Hermione and gave her more attention, he talk about how she was his favorite and why she has a bigger role.
Book: Voldemort’s backstory is shown.
Movie: Lavender and Won Won are shown.
Ikr half blood prince movie sucked
Whats won won
@@conserztasfia0078 Lavender called ron "won won"
"Is it true that you shouted at Professor Umbridge?"
"Yes," said Harry.
"You called her a liar?"
"Yes."
"You told her He Who Must Not Be Named is back?"
"Yes."
Professor McGonagall sat down behind her desk, frowning at Harry. Then she said, "Have a biscuit, Potter."
"Have a biscuit"
PROFESSOR McGONAGALL YESSS The best 👏
Eff slay queen
Greatest plot twist of all time👏👏
Eff the greatest piece of literature to exist
if ginny's personality isn't number 1 I dont know what could be
how sway
Yannick Lourens ginny is very different and loveable in the books... in the movies, she is like Kristen Stewart
I actually dislike Ginny in both the movies and the books. I find her to be quite annoying. (Unpopular opinion, I know.)
^^ dude the comparrison is delicious
agreeeee
I am shocked that no one in comments even said how Harry reacted to Sirius death. How he reacted inside dumbledore office and how dumbledore cried. Actually I think they omitted every time he cried
yagappar arulanandam yep he was very angry in that scene.
And the only harry crying scene we got in the movies is that lame ass thing from PoA :/
To be honest I laughed during the whole chapter when HARRY throws a tantrum inside Dumbledore's office
Honestly book shows all of them as a person rather than movies in which they are shown as some superhumans
When the comments are more informative than the video...
Lol
Not wrong at all
Amy Cao an-I-may-jai
We all know the biggest difference is: "HARRY! Did ya put your name in the Goblet of Fiya!!!"
Yoshi Waker This, forever this!
soooo annoying lol
Irish Dumbledore, one of the many things that I disliked about Michael Gambon's version.
Yoshi Waker So true
Dumbledore said calmly.
One omission that still bugs me is Sirius giving Harry his magic mirror so the two can talk.
The thing is, the mirror shard does appear in the Deathly Hallows films, but where Harry got it from is never explained, making it all the more jarring.
AdmiralOctopus same.
AdmiralOctopus not true, it's hinted at, Abeforth says to Harry that mundugus gave him the mirror and says it belonged to Sirus
THIS
Yes, that was largely ignored in the movies. :(
Hated it in the books actually. How he somehow forgot that he had it until after Sirius died and he never stops bitching and whining.
Would you watch a 12 hour Harry Potter movie if it had every detail from the books
My answer is below
yes yes YES
Yes definitely. I wish they remake every movie again with every detail from the books on Netflix
yessir
I'd watch it twice ina row
That'll be brilliant!
Briony Drapala YESSS
The fact that Neville could have been the chosen one but Voldemort chose Harry should have been on here. I think it’s important but not even mentioned in the movie.
Why
You know, there's something about being Pureblood and being Half-blood. I'm not exactly sure what that is, but yes, Lily was a Muggle born while Neville's parents were Purebloods.... there's any reason for what Voldemort chose Harry. And yes, there's one more thing Pr. Tralawney said when she was telling the future- The child who'll born in the end of July and whose parents have fought Voldemort thrice before, which clearly refers the Potters!
@@Longliv_resistance But Neville's parents too fought with the Dark lord in the order of phoenix.
@@Longliv_resistance Yeah and they also fought Voldemort thrice and Neville is born 1 day before Harry.
@@Longliv_resistance harry was half-blood=> Voldemort too. He sees in harry himself(he hated that he was also half-blood=> killed his dad and his grandparents). As for Neville- he was born in pure blood family-voldemord didn't want to destroy such powerful family(I mean blood). When Harry was pretending to be dead(Hagrid carried him- last book) Neville and Voldemort (and bellatrix) had a conversation- vold want Neville to join him because of his blood. Funny thing- despite neville parents resist 3 times Voldemort's offer(to join them)
My favorite one would be when:
Book- Hagrid says,"Harry, you're a wizard!"
Movie-Hagrid says,"You're a wizard Harry!"
i'm a what?
loblit05 XD
Movie version of this line will always be better than the book's version to me. It just sounds cooler when you say it as "You're a wizard, Harry!" No idea why, but it does to me lol
Nyx Nightmare tru tru
FEkitty Fraschilla omg. Me toooooooooooooo
imagine if after few years they make a TV series of harry potter with all details and every book is a season .... it would be Epic.
HBO could do it similar to Game of Thrones and they wont run out of material to adapt since the story of harry potter is complete unlike Game of thrones
Abdou Gunner yay i mean i like the movies, but i would really like to see a tv series out of Harry Potter since a lot character look diffrently in the book like Draco is verry feminine andhas long hair and Luna is tall as explained by J.K Rowling before
That'd be lit
I want a Netflix Harry Potter series SO BADLY, you have no idea!! I just... every single time I watch the movies I'm like "... it looks pretty, but the books are so RICH with intricate detail and character development, and this does not do them justice!"
I was listening to Prisoner of Azkaban on audiobook again recently, and just started dreaming about how amazing it would be to have an entire hour long episode dedicated solely to the Shrieking Shack scenes. And that's just one example! There's so many moments that could be so much more brilliantly done if there was a lot more room for the scripts to take their time.
and they wouldnt need so much cgi, only for quiddith, the goblet of fire and the final battle, the rest is just spells, making the series more cheap than GoT
Book: Everything about Dumbledore's family.
Movie: "I'm not interested in what happened between you and your brother." -Harry, to Aberforth
Oooh that pissed me off so much when I first watched the movie. Cuz I read the book before watching the movie.
Thank god i didn't watch the movie!
@@youtubeistryingtocensorme oh no no no! Never do that.....you now have to santize yourself by reading the books again
@@Deluluissolulumadman SAME! And I m never gonna watch
I have one: in the book, Chamber of Secrets, Hermione doesn't know what a Mudblood is after she's called one by Malfoy (and then Ron tries to put a curse on him) but in the book, since they're trying to keep up her status of beng a know-it-all, she does.
You mean in the film. In the book she didn't know what Mudblood meant but in the film she did.
Exactly...it was ton who explained her and Harry.....
Also the fact that after Ron told her what it meant, it didn't bother her at all.
That actually doesn't make sense because mudblood is a slang and even if we consider Hermione possessed a lot knowledge by reading books (there was no other way of gaining knowledge for her as she is a muggle born), no book will ever contain that slang.
@@meghdeepghosh7731 she might've read the deep web version of books... or something. maybe a classmate's diary?
Does nobody remember that they forgot to include that Ron and Hermione were prefects during order of the pheonix??
I remember
perfects?
K4t3lyn zm1th x3 no prefects
that plotline didn't really go anywhere though tbh
What's Malfoy doing here...
Hogwarts must've used Ron's owl to send me my invitation letter. It's been 16 years and that son of a bitch still hasn't arrived.
konohahurricane07 Mine hasn't arrived yet either🙀🙈
konohahurricane07 maybe someone had a mail-snail... hang in there, it might still get there. dont blame everything on poor Errol.
Errol or Pig?
Errol
When Dumbledore died and Voldemort ruled Ministry of Magic and school, they didn't send any invitation letters to muggleborn kids, so if you are muggle, that I'm sorry, but your invitation wasn't even created :(
Actually Harry's and Voldemort's wands connect only once, during the battle in the graveyard (Goblet of Fire). It's called the "Priori Incantatem", which forces the wands to regurgitate the last spells they've cast, in this case, Voldemort's last spell was "Avada Kedavra" and the wand started spewing back the spirits of those whose lives it's taken. It's an extremely rare phenomenon that happens only when two wands with the same core from the same source (in that case, a phoenix feather from Fawkes) lock in combat and the spells duel becomes a willpower struggle. Unlike the movies, which connect every wand in every battle after the Goblet of Fire.
The final duel between harry and voldemort is decided when both cast their signature spells: Harry with Expeliarmus and Voldemort with Avada Kedavra. Both spells collide mid-air and (with a cannon blast sound) rebound Voldemort's spell against himself, killing him, because the Elder Wand refused to harm Harry, its true master. Voldemort drops to the floor like an ordinary human being and that's that.
then he turns into a shriveled lifeless baby
Yeah even other characters in the film had this happen with wands, in The Deathly Hallows (Part 2). It happened when Kingsley Shacklebolt and Professor Lupin were together defending Hogwarts. They were high up inside the castle. One of Voldemorts lot came in possibly through a window, and I think his and Lupin's wands connected. (Might have been Kingsley's, but I can't remember.)
@@threecats8219 Dumbledore and Voldemort also connect their wands in the battle at the ministry of magic (Dumbledore is wielding the Elder Wand and Voldemort, his Phoenix Feather one, mind you). Even Mr. Weasley had his wand connected with a random Deatheater in Deatly Hallows pt 2. I mean, it's a quite a spectacle to see, much like the connecting kamehamehas in Dragon Ball, but it totally breaks the logic of the books and the statement made after Harry and Voldemort's Priori Incantatem in The Goblet of Fire movie. And it takes away the uniqueness of Harry and Voldemort's connection as mortal enemies.
@@DieysonGomesCC Was it Mr Weasley, when Kingsley Shacklebolt was there. I said above it was Lupin, and I remember that time; am sure it was Lupin. Uness Me Weasley did it too, or I got it wrong thinking Lupin.
You're right though. Using the visuals of Priori Incantatum for more than the graveyard fight with Harry and Voldemort, did spoil things somewhat.
You sort of had to just allow artistic licence for it. However Priori Incantatum was described somewhat by Dumbledore in Goblet of Fire movie. It's a bit confusing and hard to overlook whne you know it's there.
~Top one should have been "CALMLY".
~McGonagall during Harry's 5th year career review (when she absolutely schooled Umbridge)
~"Have a biscuit, Potter"
Hahaha oh boy yeah and even Ron said that Umbridge would find her nemesis to McGonagall and he was right for she was like "Surely you don't want something for that cough, Dolores?" or "How are you supposed to watch my lesson if you keep interrupting it?"
😂😂😂
I think that scene should definitely had made it to the films! Too bad it didn't!
What about Dudley's last words to Harry before he left??? "I don't think you're a waste of space".
It was originally filmed, but then edited out.
oh
And I never understood why they took it out. I get pacing and all that but it was such a dear, good moment in the books. I almost cried and was relived to see it even if it was in the deleted scenes.
Aww
Ryan theblaziken101 No, he didn't die. In the books, the Dursleys had to evacuate from the Privet Drive because Voldemort could hurt and use them to get to Harry. And while leaving, Dudley shows concern for Harry and denies when Harry claims that they think he is a waster of space. I cried like a bitch in that scene.
What about Harry's absolute sass in the books, durselys departure, hagrid being half giant, Rita skeeter being a animagus, and ginnys sass
Ginny was OK in the movie but in the book she was amazing confident and powerful (a little bit of that was shown off in the ministry escape sene) but other than that she was just there for a date for Harry
Lucie Duggan very true- and Rowling deliberately did this to emphasise the strength in women
In the movies, Hagrid tells the headmaster of beauxbatons that his mother was a giant
Marshall Jackson he just told her about his dad
I LOVED Ginny in the books. As she got older, she had more attitude and strength in her. Bonnie Wright did fit Ginny's physical description, but she didn't play her well at all.
I've always wondered, how would it be to adapt the HP books to a TV show, like GAME OF THRONES? Would give the chance to bring in more details!
They're now doing for Percy Jackson lol! 😁
Oh how i wish for that to happen
If Alan Rickman was alive yeah definitely it can be possible but now it's not because there is no Potter without Snape (Alan Rickman)
@@fullmoon5799 Not at the moment, I agree! But there will be another actor playing Snape in the future! Remember, Bela Lugosi was the first cinematic DRACULA, then came Christopher Lee, and others...
@@Exodianecross1978 it's not same forget Yr idea it's not possible without Alan but I hope there will be a movie cursed child I know they don't like to make but I just hope I feel they will make it
Voldemort’s backstory is almost entirely glossed over in the movies. They never show that the reason no one can keep the defense against the dark arts position for more than a year is because Voldemort applied for the position and was turned down so he put a curse on it.
They don’t give Harry’s goodbye to the Dursleys in book 7 any justice at all.
They also completely skip over the fact that Sirius got into Gryffindor Tower in book 3 and attacked Ron’s bed instead of Harry’s which would have been a crazy clue for the audience to realize when they revealed everything in the shrieking shack.
Harry’s eyes are green in the books, not blue. They actually tried to get Radcliffe to wear green contacts to make it faithful to the books but they bothered him so thats why they aren’t green in the movies.
In the order of the Phoenix book, Cho doesn’t rat out the group to Umbridge about the DA. Cho’s friend Marietta does, who actually isn’t in the movie at all. When she does the word sneak in written out in pimples on her face because Hermione cursed that paper everyone signed when they joined.
In the battle of the seven potters in book 7 it’s never revealed that it was Snape that used a Confundus charm on Mundungus Fletcher to get Mundungus to give the order the idea about using the 7 Potters to confuse the death eaters. Dumbledore gave Snape the idea to do it. Snape then gave Voldemort the correct date they were going to move Harry to further gain Voldemort’s trust. Snape was actually the one who cursed George Weasley’s ear but he was aiming for a death eater and missed.
In book 7 it’s also revealed that Dumbledore was the one who told Snape to keep an eye on Quirrell in book 1.
In the half blood prince, Draco has Madam Rosmerta under the imperius curse. That’s how Katie Bell ended up with the cursed necklace and how the poisoned wine got into the castle.
That's a good list. 😄
In The order of the Phoenix book, they used coins to send messages about Dumbledore's Army meetings. Text appeared on the sides of the coins telling them meeting times.
Draco also used that method I think when he was organising getting death eaters into the castle.
Also...there is a part in the books where neville's parents r shown and his grandmother saying that he should be proud abt them...rather than be embaressed...that was like one of the important scene...
I always felt neville was the one they actually did dirty...in the books he was potentially in the place of harry due to the prophecy
Me: I love the HP books so much and the movies left out SO MUCH and it's pretty much not the same thing and I'm pretty salty about it.
Someone: Wanna watch the HP movies?
Me: YES
sassy stylan That is so me XD
sassy stylan I can totally relate to you!!
Well,I disagree about number 5! I think it´s very similar to the book! Because the reason they are slow dancing to cheer up is that they are mourning the loss of Ron! In the book they also took turns wearing the Horcrux, it wasen´t just Ron who had to go through that test! Harry actually had to wear TWO Horcruxes at once!!! One was always INSIDE of him, remember?...That was why he coulden´t preform a Patronus then... PLUS, when Ron has left them, they offcourse have to wear the Horcrux more often, hence feeling even more sad!
sassy stylan you just discribed my life in one sentence xd
The ONLY movies a fandom can be mad about is the PJO movies
Still waiting for my Hogwarts letter.
But you're a fucking muggle.
and to fucking old
Tyata Samrat same
Tyata Samrat Same here
You guys Errol is just delivering it that's why
The books were just so much more satisfying than the movies ever could be. Especially with all the characters being touched upon whereas in the movies a lot of the characters arcs and conclusions are very much glossed over or not mentioned
The Books felt more epic and complete in more way than the movies.
I think the books were better.
Half Blood Prince:
Movie: Luna Lovegood saves a paralyzed Harry Potter from the train and heals his nose.
Books: Nymphadora Tonks saves a paralyzed Harry Potter from the train and heals his nose
I actually like Tonks. It annoys me how much of her they cut out.
I was searching for it ....and there are some dumbheads out there not even knowing the original story ...and chanting luna is great though she is I don't disagree
I like the movie version more
Wotcher Harry
Books:
-Harry is a walking manifestation of snark, sass and justifiable rage.
-Ron is hysterically funny, and a true friend.
-Hermione is an activist and the smarter half of the Potter-Granger BroTP
-Ginny is protective of Luna, witty, ballsy, and sassier than Harry at times.
Movies
-Harry makes the odd witty comment while passively going through life.
-Ron is a bumbling buffoon, whom scarcely acts like a good friend.
-Hermione has literally no character flaws.
-Ginny is a piece of cardboard (not the fault of Bonnie Wright)
Thanks, that's extremely well summed up!
"Ron is a bumbling buffoon."
*Fred to George* "Say that three times fast."
I completely agree with it all. I love the movies but omg the books are amazing I hate how Ginny is so underrated. Bonnie Wright is amazing but the directors just didn’t give her the justice she deserved she is so bad ass in the books but get to the movies and she’s shy and seems scared
*who*
The inevitable heat death of the universe Any difference between movie and book Draco Malfoy?
How about this:
Books: Harry is actually a very skilled wizard since book 3
Movies: Harry has absolute no idea what he's doing
SenseiKisame no harry was very skilled from year 2 to deathly hollows prt 2
Agree... In the first movie he didn't even use a spell
SenseiKisame he mastered snapes spell and nearly killed Malfoy
Harry is really skilled in the movies
He's viewed as a hero by everyone
In the Order of The Phoenix, Hermoine was saying how great Harry is but even Harry stopped her admitting he had help and had dumb luck. Snape always said Harry has no real talent. This was during the Movies of course. Like Ron has said they wouldn't survive 10 minutes without Hermoine.
Book: lots of things happen during the battle in the Department of Mysteries, such as brains attack Ron, Hermione is hit with a purple curse by Dolohov, Neville's nose is broken as well as his wand, etc.
Movie: none of that.
Because that section in the book sucked. harry potter and the order of the phoenix movie is better the books.
@@doffe23gamerhd32 lmaooooo I never knew an opinion could be so wrong 🤡
@@doffe23gamerhd32 film was crap
Another thing they forgot to mention, Kreacher’s turned around attitude.
In the books when Harry returned Kreacher the locket, Kreacher was filled with passion and gratitude for Harry returning his master Regulus’s locket.
He even showed courtesy to Hermione somewhat by doing an “awkward bow”
Since Hermione was of muggle background he always called her Mudblood but the kind gesture Harry gave made Kreacher try and be respectful there on and it caused the Black house to become more homelike for the three whilst they were on the travels. Up until when they had to leave since they were caught.
In The Order of the Phoenix book, they found the locket Horcrux in Sirius's house. At the time not knowing what it was. They could not open it although they tried many ways. I think they threw it away or put it in a pile of rubbish. ... Then later possibly in Half-blood Prince or Deathly Hallows, remembered the locket from Sirius's house.
@@threecats8219 Yeah, I love the small things that make it a brilliant story
And at last also, in the books all the house elfs come and start fighting with the death eaters and Kercher too said that harry was his master and dark lord should fall as if seeling revenge
"HARRYDIDYAPUTYANAMEINTHEGOBLETOFFIRE!!"
Ashlee X dumbledore asked calmly
"Harry, did you put you're name in the goblet of fire?" dumbledore asked Harry calmly and not shouting like FUCKING MANIAC!
He even tries to strangle him 😂
Ashlee X 😂😂😂
Ashlee X He said calmly
Remus had a tiny part in the movies, which upset me because he's a brilliant character
Awesome
C0lony X ikr it's so sad
Yeah! =)
+C0lony X
I'd say that he was prominent in the 3rd movie:
- Fended off the dementor on the train
- Taught his class about boggarts
- Taught Harry how to use the Patronus charm
- Met up with Sirius and confronted Peter Pettigrew
- Turned into a werewolf
Plus that there was a brief moment where we thought he was a villain (When he first meet up with Sirius)
He's my second favourite character in the book after Dumbledore, but I didn't like David Thewlis's portrayal of him.
Voldy's death was (in my opinion) an absolutely tragic misinterpretation in the movie. The entire point of his manner of death in the book was the confirmation of his worst fear, that he was simply human like everyone else. So much more could be said. I have hope that this will be remedied in a screen adaptation one day.
Book: Barry Crouch Jr begs his father to not send him to Azkaban
Movie: "Hello, father. *GAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"*
You forgot something: in the book Rita skeeter is an animagus and in the movies she isn't
That made me sooooooo angry.
Swim God 26 REETAH SKEETAH
Swim God 26 that's true
Jmo 26 so THATS why the Harry Potter trivia app rejected my answer..... it was based on the movies only.
She turns into a beetle
Im dissapointed that Peeves is not in the movie. Only in books and games
Milek he was originally but was left out of the final cut. He was briefly in the first
Milek whos peeves?
Me too. I was really wanting him to just go around, at least in the second one, saying " Oh Potter you rotter".
He is mentioned by Ron in the first movie when he says that the ogre was probably let in by Peeves as a joke
Alabaster Relter oh
The books: *actual character development and good scenes and messages*
The movies: *aha broom go whee*
Nah you’re taking it a bit too far👀
@@YC_001 shit you're right
@@aelina.galathynius6780 i mean i always could
The part I wanted to see make the movies was in the Half-Blood Prince Book, Dumbledore scolds the Dursleys in the beginning for how they treated Harry all his life, but in the movie, he doesn't do that. I wanted to see Dumbledore let them have it.
did you know in the book order of the phoenix mcgonagall gets attacked by 4 stunners during harry's astronomy exam when umbridge attempted to (unlawfully)remove Hagrid with the help of 4 aurors when she tries to stop them(she didn't attack them at all she didn't even have her wand out) and is sent to the infirmity, harry goes to see her(aww) and learns she been sent to st. mungos she later appears at the end of the book with a cane and stops snape from taking points from harry and give harry points
also in the first book hagrid kisses mcgonagall and she giggles because they both had too much eggnog
She didn't stop Snape fron taking the points. She stopped him from doing something worse when he was trying to take away points and then realized that Harry's house had no points left, thanks to Umbridge's Inquisitorial Squad. She awarded Harry and his 5 friends a lot of points for their actions at the Ministry of Magic and then let Snape take away the points he'd initially wanted to.
oh yeah oops
Crystal Wolf yeah I remember that!!!
Crystal Wolf
I really wish they would've shown what Harry did with his Triwizard tournament winnings
Yes! I was so disappointed when it wasn't included.
Maddy Hatter I know. It would've been nice to see it on screen
what did he do?
Carly Larson Harry gave all his money to the Weasly twins for their joke shop.
I wish it had showed the hospital scenes. That hug from Mrs Weasley just broke my heart
IS ANYONE GOING TO TALK ABOUT HOW HOT TOM RIDDLE IS IN THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS
sparkle LPSprogirl I just watched this movie again last night and was thinking the same thing lmao
YES. TOM WILL ALWAYS BE MY BABE
Two words....
GET.
OUT.
He’s hotter than Gilderoy Lockhart
No. This isn't a toxic Instagram fandom.
Book: When Harry Potter killed Voldemort, he was being watched by hundreds of people
Movie: When he's killing Voldemort he's only with Ron and Hermione (as I can remember)
They were In the great hall while everyone watched as they dueled even the deatheaters stand and watch instead of fighting
@@andy34isabor89 yeah, I know
Dude I'm so sorry. I'm so high all the time that you said what I thought you weren't saying.
In the book:Harry and Voldemort didn't fly.And also Harry was in his cloak not in Hagrid's arms because Voldemort said put him at my legs,at his place.And than everyone lost focus at Harry and watch Voldemort fignting againts 3 wizards and Harry put his cloak ans started moving.When Molly killed Bellatrix.Voldemort screamed and aimed at Molly and than Harry removed his cloaked and blocked Voldemort curse.
True
For me the most shocking difference was when Harry vandalised Dumbledore's office in The order of the phoenix (Book version) while he just talked to Dumbledore in the movie !
bubu birden They should have included that scene from the book
bubu birden vandalized is an understatement. He trashed the place
I would say that the BIGGEST difference between the books and the movies, and also the biggest failings of the movies is the way that Voldemort died. In the book, Voldemort died in front of a crowd of people, whereas in the movies only Harry witnessed his death. By having Voldemort die in front of a lot of witnesses, J.K. made sure that EVERYONE knew that Voldemort was really, really dead, whereas if only Harry witnessed it, then a lot of the Death Eaters would believe for some time that Voldemort had escaped death once again, and continue to put up resistance and making trouble. After all, everyone had believed that Voldemort was dead once before, but he had come back to life, so who is to say that he couldn't do it again?
Omg yes you're the only other person I've ever seen saying that. I thought I was the only one that felt this way. Also it was just this perfect culmination of everything that happened and there was this finality of this huge great war finally ending in front of everyone
My biggest problem with that whole fight was that Voldemort and Harry are literally flying around the school casting spells at each other back and forth continuously, where as is the books its just them circling each other in front of the crowd while Harry is talking and then one spell each. It was the culmination of a whole lot of build up and history and twists and it was supposed to end with just the two spells, but of course they just had to go for a big action scene instead of the nice neat package JK Rowling had written.
I think harry breaking the elder wand was a good change though. It could have caused conflict in the future if someone stole it again.
True but someone would have had to kill or take it from Harry to be its master. Otherwise all they have is a powerful wand that won't work properly for them.
Harry plans to become an Auror. Chances of Elder wand changing allegiances with such a high risk job is quite high. I also think that destroying the wand was a better option.
Book : "Did you write your name in the goblet of fire harry", Dumbledore asked harry calmly
Movie : "Did you write your name in the goblet of fire harry", Dumbledore attacks harry kAlmLy
"Peeves the poltergeist, a pesky ghoul who pulls pranks..."
You do realise that ghouls and poltergeists are two completely different things in the Harry Potter world? The only ghoul ever mentioned in the books is the one that lives in the Weasley's attic.
I was kinda upset when they didn't show Tom's parents in the movie, I really wanted to see Merope
Dear Alueta saame
Yeah the screen writers forgot the definition of CALMLY
Maybe the narrator in the book was being sarcastic?
+Nightone No, JK Rowling wouldn't be sarcastic about Dumbledore asking Harry calmly, Dumbledore would put no force on his most prized student.
half the problem is Gambon's interpretation of Dumbledore. He put little to no research in the part and has said in interviews that he didn't want to even try to portray him similarly as Harris, and it shows...this scene is a particularly bad example of his lack of caring for the source material.
TheWonderAnthem That was Richard Harris
L K It wasn't his fault. It was the person who wrote the movie who made Dumbledore seem out of character
They cut out "There's no need to call me "Sir", Professor" or "Roonil Wasib". I was so upset when they did that after I read the books I would've loved to see it on screen.
Book: Hermione and Ron kiss in the room of requirement.
Movie: Hermione and Ron kiss in the chamber of secrets.
I’m I the only one asking?
The Book kiss has more emotional impact to it. It shows how much Ron grew up and started caring for the house elves.
This list should have included Kreacher's backstory and Dumbledore's sister.
They kind of mentioned Ariana in the last two films, but yeah the whole Kreacher thing bugged me.
Well since Grindlwald is involved with Fantastic Beasts and where to find them I'm sure in the follow up the Dumbledore/Grindlewald story will be told. It'd be a Great way to fill in some of the great stuff from the books that the movies never got to.
TheFantasticJoe Also Barty Crouch Jr's story
TheFantasticJoe truuuuu
TheFantasticJoe I also think Kreacher's backstory is the most important one
missed the biggest one in my opinion, when snape killed dumbledore Harry should have been under his invisibility cloak
bo barfield True
bo barfield 3:13-3:16
And wasn't he held by a spell and could not move also? I havent read them for a while but that seems familiar to me...
M Papa You 're right.
This to me is the biggest difference of all! In the movie he just stands there like an idiot. In the book he is frozen and can't do anything until the spell is broken from Dumbledore's death!
Even Dudley Dursley would probably have been treated at St. Mungo's for the pig tail he was given by Hagrid. How would they have been able to explain the presence of the tail at a non-magical hospital? That would not have been an issue with a wizard hospital.
I really missed Harry revealing to Voldemort Snape’s true loyalty to Lily at the end of DH part 2. I think they should’ve kept that in, and had the fight happen in front of everyone else, like in the book.
A Dutch film reviewer always claimed "The Prisoner of Azkaban" was the movie that didn't want you to read the books, but stood out as a film on its own, more than any of the others. Shows how seriously I gotta take him, as POA is the movie that got me to answer most questions from people who only saw the movies and did not read the books. For starters how did Lupin know the parchment insulting Snape was in fact a magic map? The book answers that, the movie does not, while it is a pretty important plot twist, as that map is basically something James left his son (although it went via Filch and Fred & George first). Who are Mooney, Wormtail, Padfood and Prongs? Never explained in the movie, but clearly in movie #5 Harry mysteriously knows as he called Sirius "Padfood" when trying to give Snape a secret message Umbridge was not allowed to understand. The entire reason behind the Shrieking Shack and the Whomping Willow was never explained at all in the movies and of course also the reason why James, Sirius and Peter were Animagi. And so we can go on for awhile.
A few things I really missed in the movies in general were these:
- At the Quidditch championship we never see the game itself at all.
- Why oh why did Fred and George's magical swamp, created to mock Umbridge, not make it to the films? ("Give her Hell for us, Peeves!!!")
- Meeting Gilderoy Lockheart while he is still suffering from Amnesia, but despite all that still as full of himself as ever and trying to give the "heroes" his autograph.
- Winky
- The suffering of Voldemort's mother, as she's actually a pretty tragic person
- The background story of Dumbledore's sister Ariana, while it was so important in understand why Dumbledore was the way he was.
- Molly's boggart
- Hermione's "SNEAK" curse
I didn't miss Herione's "S.P.E.W" though. That part of the books only annoyed me. The Dutch abbreviation shows what I think of it. "S.H.I.T" (Stichting Huiself voor Inburgering en Tolerantie).
Another big difference is, is that Ron never went to the Dark Forest in the Philosopher Stone. It was Neville who got punished in the novels in stead, as he was caught by McGonagal when he was trying to warn Harry and Hermione.
Well there was one thing that got me confused in the books, because books cannot carry over emotions as well as movies can. If you watch well when Snape kills Dumbledore, you can hear in his voice and see on his face that he's doing something he doesn't want to do. Makes clear what a great actor Alan Rickman was, of course.
I was however very amused to see how Mad-Eye Moody (the impostor that is) transformed Draco Malfoy into a ferret. I was afraid that part of the book wouldn't make it into the movie, but it did. ("Alastor! We neverrr use transfiguration as a punishment. I'm sure Dumbledore has told you that." -- "He might have mentioned it").
TheRealTricky i was waiting for some scene involving the St Mungo's Hospital in the 5th movie but they just completely cut it off >.
Is it really called SHIT? That's funny.
Leaving out that Harry's DAD and Sirius and Lupin and Wormtail made the map is so strange, it would have taken one line to have a satisfying sort of plot-twist reveal. Such as when Harry meets with Lupin in his office at the end. The other one is when Harry kicks Lupin out and says the line "Parents shouldn't leave their kids...unless they've got to." The movies focus 100% on the pressure of this future battle with this snakey monster Voldemort and has none of the interwebbing relationships of the past and Harry's emotional resilience (and temper - wish we could've seen more Sassy Harry, like the Snape classroom scene in HPB).
Yeah, Harry's statement was indeed very important to his own personality. Harry, most of all other characters in the book, knows the damage you can experience when you're parents are not there for you as a kid.
Yeah.
Not to mention the fight between Dumbledore and Voldemort.
In the movies, Dumbledore nearly lost. But in the books, he literally wiped the floor with Voldemort.
In the books, the fight was amazing. Stunning and thrilling at the same time.
It showed how amazing magic can be once you fully master it.
Bringing statues to live and apparating to dodge the killing curse while casting powerful spells.
It showed just how powerful Dumbledore was.
The reason he was feared by Voldemort.
That fight gave us hope.
In the movies however...
It kinda felt... forced. Dont get me wrong, it was still impressive, but not even nearly as much as it was in the books.
Not to mention the scene where Fawkes sacrifices himself to save Dumbledore.
I think 2 most important points that were missed in the movies
1. Why the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher's position is cursed - Because Voldemort applied for it, didn't get it.
2. Neville could have been the Chosen One as he also fulfilled the Prophecy to the T, but it was Voldemort who selected Harry, because he was Half-Blood, attacked him and hence, he became the chosen one. Else, the entire series could have been "Neville Longbottom and....."
Neville Longbottom and the Philosopher's Stone
To be fair, it was never mentioned in the Movies, that the DADA Position is cursed at all. And that the teachers changing because something happens "suddenly" to them by the end of the Year is a bit TO eye-catching, people could say "shit happens", despite this seems to be only appear on the DADA position.
the thing with Neville and the chosen one is so small, that even his Parents of their fate could be cut from the Movies, but i guess, they needed to deliver a reason for Belatrix to be cruel to him and reason Nevilles anger.
Movies: Grindelwald tells Voldermort where to find the elder wand.
Book: Grindelwald taunts Voldemort and lies about ever having the wand, so Voldemort kills him.
When Griffindor wins the quiditch cup whit harry in the team, on the third book whit the new broom that Sirius gave him. Is a shame because the other one were won by ginny. I hope someday they make a Harry Potter series with all the moments in the books
I prefer the book versions of all of these
robert glasgow Same
I agree, except the dance scene. It's nice
*Fanservice
It was just for all those stupid Harry-Hermione shippers on the net.
It was stupid...
Honestly I was expecting it to be Harry and Luna, at least until GoF. It was pretty obviou him and Ron were going to become actual brothers (in law) after that book assuming she didn't die.
Dário Alves Disagree, I'm not a Harry/Hermione shipper at all but I like the dance scene. It's clearly just Harry being a good friend and trying to cheer Hermione up.
I regret not reading the Harry Potter books when I was younger, but I decided to read the entire series recently & I must say..... It was brilliant. It took me 5 weeks to read all the books & I agree with the majority of fans that the books are lightyears away better than the films.
Aaron Martinez well a film doesn’t have the convenience of 1000s of pages of explanation. There is a lot done in books that is inside the characters heads. How does a movie show a characters thoughts? By having them say outloud what they feel? Just let the movies be the movies and the books be the books and stop comparing them
Ryan R I don't know anyone that has read the books and watched the movies and preferred the movies. The movies are great but if you really want to learn the story of Harry Potter you should read the books. It's a whole different experience.
I read the first 5 books in a span of 2 weeks
Aaron Martinez you need to read the book its better than the movie
I’ve read the books but only seen RUclips clips of the movies. I’ll never watch them fully cuz I feel they screwed them up. Also hermione isn’t done right. She’s super irritating in the clips. It doesn’t seem like Harry is ever brooding like he constantly does in the books. That guy had the worst life. He was locked in a closet for years, barely fed, unloved....serious child abuse. The movies make it like he’s cool but he wasn’t. His only friends ever were hermione and Ron.
My number 1 : Book : Hermione kissing Ron when he suggests that they need to set the House Elves Free. Movie : Ah.. Never mind
you forgot a very important one: ginny. just ginny.
"HARRY! DID YA PUT YER NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FAIYAH?!"
*book version* Dumbledore calmly spoke,etc-- "Harry,did you put your name in the goblet of fire?
*Movie version* "HARRYDIDYAPUTYERNAMEINTHEGOBLETOFFIRE?!?!"
The actor doesn't choose the script. Blame the screenwriter or director.
do you mean script writer, the actor himself has no choise
my memory of the GOF book is foggy but did dumbledore forcefully ask Harry if he put his name in the Goblet?
Robert Erlandson no. It specifically says that he calmly asked harry if he put his name in the goblet of fire.
*scrolls through comments* I guess everyone forgot about the argument between Harry and Lupin in Deathly Hallows...
Kyra Yung
Oh yeah
Lupin was acting very strange though tbh
I didn't trust him
What I really miss in the movies was the hole department of mysteries part. It was so good in the book and so interesting. In the movie it was just about the fight.
Another difference is that in the books Voldemort doesn't feel anything when his horcruxes are destroyed but in the movies he does
I think it's a good change though
@@Jordan-mq4wj Does not make any sense though , he would have know the diary and the ring have been destroyed before Potter began his quest in the seventh year
Shakthi Sathish, I mean, we never see Voldemort’s perspective in the book and it makes sense. He lost a part of himself.
Well I think it's a sensible change though....why wouldn't someone feels weaker while you're killing a part of his soul...
In the films, Voldemort only felt horcruxes destroyed after he realised Harry and co had been in Belatrixes vault. Before then he was oblivious to it, and Harry even asked "Do you think he feels it", or something like that.
In the book Harry defends himself against Quirrell attacking him, in the movie he actually deliberately kills Quirrell. A murderer at 11.XD
Yes, and older book!Harry was very anxious about seemingly have to end a life on purpose, even when it was Voldemorts. In many ways he was quite different from movie!Harry
Not really. In the movie Harry killed Quirrel in self-defence. It ended when Quirrel was on top of Harry, and Harry put his hands on Quirrel's face. Voldemort had ordered Quirrel to kill Harry, and that's why Quirrel had advanced and was over Harry.
I'm surprised you didn't cover the fact that Harry's eyes are supposed to be bright green, but in the movie his eyes are blue.
Because Daniel Radcliffe turned out to be allergic to the green contact lenses they tried using.
Lol 26 likes in a comment 26 likes too in a reply from that comment :P
Dan was one of the rare people to be allergic to the contact lenses they used, then J.K rowling was insisting that they had the same eye colour yet they still didn't
Yes D.R. was allergic, but so what? CGI anyone? They could've changed the color easily.
Raging Ginger EXACTLY
You know what I wanted?
That kiss between Harry and Ginny after the Quidditch Cup in Half Blood Prince.
Book Ginny: basically like the 4th member in the 3 of harry, ron and hermione and had more like screen time
Movie Ginny: Side character
That's why it doesn't make sense that they got together in the end loool
Or the backstory of Percy choosing the Ministry over his family, or Bill being introduced way earlier in the books but having 4 lines in 2 movies
They left out the whole Barty Crouch Sr smuggling his son out of Azkaban and keeping him under the Imperius curse to stop him going back to Voldemort plot too.
Why would they make a plot point about that when they already have to cram so much shit in 2 hours.
Cool actor who played Bill Weasley in the movies. Laid back and fit right in.
Another huge difference. Firenze didn't teach in the movies. It wasn't even mentioned.
Ah you mean the centaur teacher, ya we only got to see a centaur once in the wole fucking series.
I was genuinely pissed they didn't include any of hermonie's elf liberation story line.
Megatron I actually didn't like the elf liberation story line, though it did have some funny moments
MC Cooper Oh right... when the centaurs also took away that women...
Kayla Houvenagle I personally liked it is because of Ron lol...like you said he made that story line quite funny.
Netflix hear us potterheads, make a harry potter series and bring justice to this masterpiece please
I would have loved to see Kreacher shouting and leading an army of cute little house elfs...
And in the The Half-Blood Prince Tonks is the one who finds Harry on the train, not Luna. Also, in my opinion,the move version of The Chamber of Secrets wasn't as good as the book version. It wasn't nearly as suspenseful. Actually, I prefer reading the books. Even though the movies are good nothing beats the books
I kinda like the battle between Riddle and Harry in the movie version of CoS. Not to mention the basilisk.
Yeah books fuelled my imagination. Sometimes I find myself watching and imagining my own Harry Potter movie based solely on the books
Agree with you!
The first too movies were light heart compared to the book, it felt more magical. The movies only got serious black from the 3rd up
Fucking David Yates.
There's a great list of things I'd love to see... (not in order)
1. Kreacher turning into a good house elf
2. Harry fixing his wand with the Elder Wand.
3. Actual Quidditch finals in Hogwarts.
4. Harry's patronus actually being a stag rather than just a white exploding beam.
5. Ginny and Harry's first kiss the way it was shown in the books.
6. St Mungo's.
7. Dumbledore's funeral
8. Harry saying bye to the Dursleys
9. Dumbledore meeting the Dursleys in book six
10. Harry using the Elder Wand to fix the entire hogwarts castle after the final battle. (This never happened in Books or Films but it would be so sick!)
Thank you for bringing up the absence of Dumbledore's funeral in the movies, it's like everyone else forgot about that.
Jason Connors hell yeah, harry and ginny... btw great list, i agree
Ey there is a scene where Harry says goodbye to Petunia.. "you didn't just lose a mother that night" 😢
#10 would be stupid and well beyond what Harry could do
St. Mungo's :(
Just started reading the Harry Potter books about a month ago (I'm on Goblet of Fire now) and I must say, I LOVE the books, especially how they are written. So many times fantasy authors way over explain every little detail to the point where it seems like they are just trying to add filler to make their books larger than they need to be (Any fantasy author with the middle name R.R. ). J.K. Rowling however, manages to fit so much detail with so few words, I find it incredible. She never spends more than 1-2 small paragraphs describing any one piece of detail, and she only takes that long if it's essential to the overall plot. I never feel like I don't know what Hogwarts looks like, or how Harry is feeling after a particular moment. One moment from the books where this is most evident is when Harry caught the Golden Snitch to win the Quidditch Cup for Gryffindor, and the overwhelming joy he felt could be summed up in two sentences (This isn't an exact quote), "Harry wished that a Dementor would attack him now. At that moment, he felt like he could conjure the worlds greatest Patronus."
Because we know that Dementors can suck all the happiness out of a person and the only real way to defeat them is with a Patronus, which is a manifestation of pure happiness with no sadness for the Dementor to feed on, and that in order to conjure a Patronus, you need an overwhelmingly happy moment from your life to focus on, we understand full well that this is, far and away, the happiest moment in Harry Potter's life. All that, from just two sentences, and we can feel the same happiness that Harry felt at that moment.
"Harry, didja put ja name in da goblet of fyiah?" Dumbledore asked CALMLY
Lets mention Ginny and Harry's relationship, lovely in the books, little piece of shit in the movies
Maria Eduarda tru
Maria Eduarda Lovely in neither.
It was really forced in both...
Romance was one of the biggest problems in the book for me. I remember thinking, "If you can't think how a teenage boy would react to love, maybe don't write about it?"
There are so many of these in The Goblet of Fire you didn't mention:
Book: Starts at the Privet Drive
Movie: Starts at the Burrow
Book: Bill and Charlie appear in the beginning
Movie: Charlie never appears in the saga, Bill appears for the first time in the Deathly Hallows
Book: Ron buys an owl called Pigwidgeon and it's heavily featured throughout the entire book
Movie: Pigwidgeon only has a few seconds long cameo
Book: Harry quickly steals the dragon egg and gets wounded in the process
Movie: Harry fights the dragon around Hogwarts for like 10 minutes, kills it, and then takes the egg
Book: Sirius comes to Hogsmeade and hides there in his dog form, and also gets to talk with Harry, Ron and Hermione at his and Buckbeak's hiding place
Movie: None of this happens
Book: Harry sees Barty Crouch Jr. in Snape's office on the Marauders' Map but thinks it's Barty Crouch Sr., then Barty Jr. (disguised as Mad-Eye) takes the map from him and later uses it to kill his father
Movie: None of this happens
Book: There's an entire backstory given to the Crouch family and Barty Jr.'s escape from Azkaban is explained
Movie: None of this is explained
Book: Rita Skeeter is an animagus and spies on Harry, Hermione and Hagrid multiple times, nearly ruins Hagrid's life with an article, and then stops with all that after getting blackmailed by Hermione
Movie: Her role is quite abridged and none of this happens
There are many more things that got left out of the movie: the dissappearance of Berta Jorkins, Percy's new job, Barty Crouch's attempt of warning Dumbledore before his death, all the Hagrid's classes and creatures, etc.
NekiTamoL1K Thats why i dont like the movie while it is my favourite book of the series
Ron didn't buy Pig. Sirus uses him to sent Harry the first letter after his escape from Hogwarts in the 3rd book and says in a PS in the letter that Ron can keep the bird because he doesn't have a rat anymore (the letter reaches Harry still in the train back). Ron than let Crookshanks decided if he is a proper owl. Pigwidgeon was named by Ginny and Ron didn't liked the name, but it was to late to change it.
I hate answer so late but o think half blood prince had more brutal changes
Uhm, just one thing: Pigwidgeon was a present from Sirius to say soory for trying to kill his pet murderer.
And the list goes on:
Book: Ludo Bagman has a whole story-arch with the Weasley twins who bet with Ludo at the World Championship, win, he pays them off with Leprechaun money, they try getting the money from him as they bet all their savings and need the money to open up their shop. Ludo functions as a decoy bad guy for some time before being revealed that he's highly endebted with the goblins and can't pay them, leaving a pissed-off set of Weasley twins.
Movie: Who's Ludo Bagman?
Book: Harry get's 1000 Galleons of price money, tries getting rid of it by giving it to Cedric's father who declines the offer (!having no bad feelings with Harry which is important to mention when you want to explain your hatred for "the lost child") and then gives the money to the twins, making the promise they'll invest it into their shop and also buy Ron a set of dressing robes, stating that they're going to need a laugh now that Voldemort's back.
Movies: none of that happens.
Book: Padma and Parvati are in different houses.
Movie: they swarm around together in the Gryffindor common room and breath "hi harry" every time they pass him.
Book: Hermione's teeth get hit by a charm from Malfoy, making them grow uncontrollably and Madam Pomfrey then shrinks them to be normal sized. Before that Hermione had ginourmous front teeth.
Movie: None of that happens
Book: Both Durmstrang and Beauxbatons are mixed gender schools
Movie: Screw that, One's for girls, the other one for boys!
Book: Hermione wears dressing robes from a floaty, shimmery periwinkle blue material and Harry sees her immediately
Movie: Hermione wears a pink monstrosity and Harry has only eyes for Cho.
Book: Everyone's wearing dressing robes to the yule ball
Movie: Men wear robes, the women wear dresses, The patils wear Saris and Cho wears sothing chinese-y.
Book: Hermione does not eat at the beginning to the term banquet as Nick tells her about the elves, she founds SPEW, later takes up a habit of knitting to free the house elves resulting in Dobby being the only one willing to clean the Gryffindor common room. Winky becomes an alcoholic, we learn that house elves can get drunk on butter beer. Hogwarts house elves wear a towel as a toga as uniform. Dobby equipps Harry with the Gillyweed. Hogwarts House elves later fight in the battle of Hogwarts being led on by Kreacher.
Movie: not even sure if SPEW even exists.
Book: Harry, did you put your name in the Goblet of fire, he asked calmly.
Movie: HARREY! [pushes someone out of the way] DIDYAPUTYA [shakes him furiously] NAMEINDEHGOBLETOFFIYAH!? [looks murderous]
Book: Blast ended Skrewts
Movie: No Blast ended Skrewts
Book: Niffler, because Hagrid wants to prove he's as good of a teacher as Professor Grubbly-Planck
Movie: No Professor Grubbly- Planck, no unicorn-lessons, no f-ing Nifflers!
Book: Veelas at the World Cup, Fleur is being revealed to have Veela ancestry
Movie: What are Veelas even?
Book: Black sends Harry letters while using tropical birds, he later moves to Hogsmeade and Harry gets him a loaf of bread, chicken wings and several bottles of pumpkin juice from the kitchens.
Movie: No thanks. Not doing that. A fireplace cameo should be enough.
Book: Hagrid and Madame Maxime are exactly the same height.
Movie: Madame Maxime is quite a bit taller then him.
And I could go on for quite some time with this. Even the thing with the firebolt is wrong.
Me (No, not Ashildr, I had the name before Doctor Who, and I'm not changing it!) they ruined Ginny in the movie
Also, in the movie Harry shows that he’s alive when he falls out of Hagrid’s arms.
Book: he has the invisibility cloak and only reveals himself at the last minute.
YEah that never made sense in the book. seriously wearing the cloak during the battle was one of the dumbest things ever and completely impractical. how does the cloak stay on?
@@youtubeistryingtocensorme Well actually if you will read properly next time....you will see that under the cloak he was safe and was casting spells under it like helping but not properly fighting...his main motive was to kill voldmort and he didn't want to get hurt between the battle that was the reason he wore it!
This is actually a wonderful list. One of the best "top 10 Harry Potter" lists on RUclips. Although these aren't exactly shocking, all the differences are very true and a lovely change from the other top 10 videos.
We all know that "calmly" is #1 difference tho
how could you not mention the final fight? the movies completely cut neville's nuts off. in the book he was a bad ass. also, after voldy was dead the people were happy and joyful, not sad and whipped like in the film.
I still thought he was pretty badass in the film. Also, it sort of makes sense for everyone to be so saddened by the end of the battle for Hogwarts since so many lives were lost to Voldemort and his Death Eaters. I doubt you'd want to celebrate so soon after witnessing several friends and family members get brutally murdered by a madman.
Neville became quite a badass as the movies passed through - especially considering where he started...
Are you kidding me? He made the most riveting pep talk of the franchise and killed Nagini twice as badass.
Navel was as much the Chosen 1 as Harry, it all came down to who Voldemort (who didn't know the last part of the prophecy saying he'd chose who he'd share his power with) tried to kill. Navelle's problem was his emasculating grandma. Harry had his issues but his family shunned him rather than play down his magical abilities. By his 3rd Year, he was as advanced as Harry though they specialized in different feilds.
The movies didn't show his progression very well but at least they showed him being as vital as Harry to Voldemort's defeat.
Gemnist
in the book he stood up to voldemort face to face and cut the head off the snake while it was around voldemort's neck right in front of him. way better than the movie
The movies fucked up many things, but they did get a lot of characters right, including:
Mad Eye Moody
Dolores Umbridge
Severus Snape
Hagrid
Fred and George Weasley
Moody's casting was great, but I always found his mad eye pretty cartoony in the movie!
benito franco a
but you can't recreate what it is on the book
Fred and George aren't in the movies nearly as much as the books!
benito franco and malformed and pettigrew
I miss the backstory of the marauders in movie 3! It made me want to read the books and wasn't dissapointed!
PEEEEEEEEEEVES!!!!
Also, dear LORD, it pains me to think of how much of the story they left out in The Goblet of Fire movie. If you have only seen the movie, too much has been changed and nothing is fully explained. Winky plays a very large role.
movies: dumbledore is gandalf.
books: dumbledore is merlin from "the sword in the stone"
Honorable mention- GINNYS BADASS PERSONALITY
Movie-FEEDS A DAMN PASTRY TO HSRRY5
Elizabeth Martinez more than a badass I think Ginny was an entitled twat in the books. But you're right about the movie adaption of her.
I never really like Ginny, and her movie version made me dislike her even more
I kinda wished Harry would end up with Luna Lovegood.
eciyk That was unexpected...
not really that is a very popular ship
The final dual between harry and voldemort, where harry explained why he was alive is som much better in the book than the movie.
I too have read the books and also watched the movies and I even feel that the books were better but we should also understand that the books were too long to add everything from them moreover the makers might have felt the need to bring some freshness to the story so they changed the subplot a bit but even then they remained true to the main story. We should never forget the brilliant performance of the actors in the movie.
