The Harry Potter films are incredible to say the least
however
The books are far superior to the films the films of course had to cut a lot out of the story when turning the novel
into a script in this video
I'm going to list 10 things they cut or change when adapting the books to the big screen
Number 10 Harry and Voldemort's I color in the books
Voldemort's eyes were red which is not the case in the films although
They did keep his snake-like nose
Which I was happy about as for Harry his eyes were a rather important detail as they were
Identical to his mother's green eyes
They messed this up even more in the films as Daniel Radcliffe who plays Harry Potter has blue eyes
While the actress that plays Lily has brown eyes they make reference to their eyes being the same colour
Several times throughout the series, but they're not you have a size
number 9
Ron's first year of Quidditch in the films the first time we see Ron try out for his house team was in a sixth year
But the first time he actually tries out is in his fifth year
He decides to try out after his parents bought him a new broomstick his reward for becoming a prefect
He starts out awful, but ends up leading his team to victory and winning the Quidditch Cup
He also turns the Slytherin smocking song Weasley is our King into a triumphant song for all Gryffindor's number eight
Spew or S.P.E.W
This stands for the
Society for the promotion of elfish welfare this was an organization that Hermione started to liberate house elves in the fourth book she gave out
Badges in the Gryffindor common room in return for them donating a bit to the foundation
She also left clothes around the common room that she had knitted hoping an elf would pick it up and would be free
but all it led to was Dobby being the only one who cleaned the common room as the other elves were offended number seven the
Incomplete Weasley family in the films were introduced to six of the seven Weasley children Ron Ginny Fred George Percy and Bill
But they left out Charlie, Weasley. He was mentioned a few times during the series
I probably works at this room - but he never makes a direct appearance except very briefly in a newspaper article
Where you can barely see his face?
He made an appearance in many of the later books he went to the Quidditch World Cup
Helped with the Triwizard Tournament by bringing the Dragons went to bill and fleurs wedding and fought in the Battle of Hogwarts
All of which he was absent from in the film's number six, gillyweed
This was what allowed Harry to breathe underwater during the second task of the Triwizard Tournament in the film Neville is the one who gives?
Harry the gillyweed, but you can oshige gillyweed in the books however
It's Dobby who gives it to Harry Dobby steals it from Snape's office and gives it to Harry minutes before the task began number five
Luna and Neville's relationship and the films they may never learn Luna romantically interested in one another
Well they did do a good job setting this up all the way back in order of the Phoenix in the books this never happens
They were always just really good friends number four the Quidditch World Cup in the film
They are on the top level of the stadium with very bad seats where they can't see much of anything
In the books however
They are invited to the minister of magics box seats to watch the match number three Peter Pettigrew or worm tales death
Well Harry and Ron are trying to escape the cell in the basement of Malfoy Manor Wormtail comes down in the film worm
Cell has just hit with a spell by Dobby and he falls to the ground
In the books however it is much more complicated after Harry reminds worm
Cell that he saved his life during the events of Prisoner of Azkaban
The Silver Hand that Voldemort had given to him during gobble to fire reaches for his throat and the hedge strangles him to death
number two the maze
This was the third task and the try was a tournament in the books the champions have to go through a maze where many different
Creatures stand in their way there were boggarts acromantula blast under scrutiny
Sphinx whose riddle Harry had to answer to get by in the film however there were no creatures
Instead it was the maze itself that was after them
The maze was almost alive and was after each one of the champions
Finally number one the Marauders
Backstory one of the most disappointing things that the film's left out was the story of the Marauders the Marauders consists of Moony
Wormtail Padfoot and prongs or Lupin Peter, Pettigrew
Sirius Black and James Potter in the books we learned that James Sirius and Peter each become an animagus
They do this so that they could be with their friend Lupin when he turned into a werewolf they also created the marauders map
Something that was very useful to Harry during his time at Hogwarts
They go into a lot of detail about how they bow it's Snape and eventually how James matures and ends up dating Lily
