Harry Potter: Deathly Hallows Part 2

Book vs. Movie

I myself have never read the Harry Potter books but I have constantly heard that the movies are immensely different than the books. Different stuff from what they say to what they do at certain parts. That is the reason many fans to either not see the movie or not read the book to not be confused and frustrated by the differences in both.

Many reasons for the differences between the books and a theatrical version of a book is the director. Some directors feel that if they make the actors do exactly what it says in print the movie will be boring and viewers will lose interest. Directors often put more romance in a theatrical version or more action and add scenes to elaborate on stuff that is unsaid that maybe the character said in his head in the book but obviously can’t be said in his head in the movie.

Looking through research as to the differences of the books and the movies I found a list of eight of the biggest misfires in the film written by a blogger. Some of his reasons are as follows.

8) JK Rowling in her last book gives the reader a tease of what Harry is like 19 years later with him standing at the train platform. In the book everyone is gawking at Harry because of how famous he is. But in the Movie fans are furious because Harry just stands there with his children and no one is recognizing him.

2) In the movie Harry snaps the Elder Wand in half leaving him without a wand but in the book Harry takes the wand, fixes his own which Hermione broke and put the Elder Wand back in Dumbledore's tomb where it belongs.

Some of these examples probably have good reason. The director had a lot of CGI he had to focus on in this movie and reading my research bloggers feel he focused on the roller coaster feeling CGI with the death eaters rather than simple things that are important in the book. http://tessa666.hubpages.com/hub/Harry-Potter-Movie-vs-Book

Reading reviews for this movie on IMDB. Many critics feel that this director simply wanted to rush through this movie and in doing so missed many key parts of the movie and lacked the emotion that viewers would have been able to appreciate if the movie wasn’t rushed.

On the other side of this many reviews of this movie feel that the fast paced action was necessary and the key things left out would have dulled down this action movie. They feel the Deathly Hallows Part one was the movie that was a much slower and emotional movie and the Part two was the movie that needed to be much more up paced and more action packed. http://collider.com/harry-potter-deathly-hallows-part-2-review/102440/
