Difference between Harry Potter books and films.
When a huge series of books like Harry Potter adapt to the movie format, some
important details kept silent. Joan C. Rowling provided the world with a deep look
at the wonderful world of wizardry and magic through her novels.
Of course, with such a large source material and an impressive budget, it was
possible to do a literal retelling of the novels; however, the creators of the
franchise decided to take a different path and simply did not include many
important points and episodes in the tapes or altered them.
1. The Mrax family and the prehistory of Voldemort.
Books much more deeply explore the history of the formation of Tom Riddle in the ruthless
Voldemort. According to the movie version, the dark lord is just an orphan with a craving for evil.
However, the novels show that his fate is incredibly complex and creepy.
2. Dumbledore's death
Despite the fact that both the book and the film did an excellent job, showing almost identical
scenes, one small detail was still changed. In the sixth novel of the series, Dumbledore actually
stunned Potter when Draco Malfoy entered the astronomical tower, followed by the Death Eaters,
led by Bellatrix Lestrange. In the film, Albus merely ordered the boy to hide, and he complied with
the decree of the director of the school of sorcery.
3. Petunia's letters to Albus Dumbledore
In the novels, readers could understand why Auntie hated magic so much, and therefore Harry and
his mother, because they were both born wizards. At a young age, when it became clear that Lily
Evans (Potter's mother) was going to Hogwarts, her sister also wanted to go to Hogwarts.
