I always see posts about what we wish was in the movies/they didn’t change, and there are SO MANY THINGS THAT FIT THAT LIST. But honestly the movies did a great job and stayed pretty true to the books. SO, here’s a post to point out the great things the movies did! Please add on and let’s celebrate the movies that brought these amazing books to life!
Adding the word Potter to… “Scared Potter?” “You wish.”
Showing us what Neville forgot was to wear his robes
Bellatrix torturing Hermione by carving the word mudblood into her arm
Barty Crouch Jr. licking his lips (good job David)
Amos Diggory’s reaction to his son dying
“Look at it this way: every great wizard in history has started out as nothing more than we are now – students. If they can do it, why not us?”
In the OotP when they’re in the Hog’s Head a goat walks by… Aberforth owns the Hog’s Head/is the barman
Slughorn’s story about Lily and the fish
Voldemort hugging Draco
Showing Lupin and Tonks reaching for each other and just not touching. It killed me, but I loved it.
Continually having Seamus blow up things through out the movies
“I’ve always wanted to use that spell!”
Showing them just being kids and having fun! PoA scene where the boys eat the candy and make the animal noises
“The spiders… They want me to tap dance! I don’t wanna tap dance!”
“You tell those spiders, Ron!”
The shrunken heads in PoA
Burning The Burrow in HBP (I know people had issues with it but I actually liked it. It was a good way of visually representing how Voldemort and the Death Eaters effected people’s lives on a very personal scale)
Neville giving Harry the gillyweed on GoF - it makes more sense for Dobby to have been able to get it like in the books, but in the film it made Neville more involved and also added another clue to ‘Moody’s’ real identity
All of Filch’s screen time. He’s hilarious
The little glimpses we got of what Draco was up to in HBP. It gave us a slightly wider perspective than just Harry’s POV which made it more interesting, without revealing what he was actually doing
That muggle girl flirting with Harry at the beginning of HBP, showing he still has a life outside of fighting Voldemort and he’s still just a teenage boy
‘Who’d wanna be taught by me? I’m a nutter, remember?’ ‘You can’t be worse than old toad face.’ ‘Thanks, Ron.’ ‘I’m here for you, mate.’
‘Hermione’s got nice skin.’ ‘I think I’ll be going to sleep now.’
