As I continue to read Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, I notice more and more things that is different with the movie. I'm am one of the people who watched the movie first before reading the book. I'm now going to finish all of them before the second part of the 7th movie comes out. Anyway, I think that they are very different, but not necessarily in bad ways.
People always say that the book is always better than the movie. That's usually true, especially with the last four Harry Potter Books I've read. In this one, I believe that they did a pretty good job. I think they chose good parts from the book, that would be good for a movie. Of course they can't put everything in because then it would be a 5 hour movie. They basically got the whole plot right, and that's what they're supposed to do. I mean, I don't like how people go into a movie expecting it to be bad. WHY WOULD YOU GO THEN? It's not gonna be the same as the book for christ's sake. And then they complain about not adding in things from the movie. I know it could be frustrating, but really who cares? it's not like they're gonna change it. Obviously they put it in for a reason. I'm not really defending the Harry Potter movie. I'm just saying that making a big fuss out of it is kinda ridiculous.
As I read the book I see more and more that is slightly changed. At times I almost got annoyed but I caught myself. The author is a part worker on the movie, so she must have had a say in it. So if she lets it happen, I think I can too. It's not big things though. It's not like Voldemort is a girl in the movie. It's more like how things are done or happened. For example, when Ron thinks he drinks the liquid luck, it doesn't exactly happen how it does in the book, but it's fine. I just believe that people who obsess over movies from books are cry babies.
And this is not only with the Harry Potter series. it's with all kinds of Book Movies. But don't get me wrong. There are some great movies made from books, for example Fahrenheit 451 is one of my favorite books and movies. Some things are changed, but I just don't care enough to complain. It entertained me and that's what it's supposed to do.
If you have an argument I'd be happy to debate with you.
