On a broomstick is not my idea of traveling too. I'd rather apparate. Hahaha. So Hermione-ish.
These are the differences for Book 3. Again, same rule applies. Sad thing is, it's no longer Chris Columbus who directed HP3-6. That's why it's going to be really tiring, confusing, and draining for me to write the differences now as there will be a lot. When I say A LOT, it's stupendous! But, I still will do it. For my own peace of mind. :))
Book-movie difference HP3
· Harry was not supposed to be doing the lumos spell at the beginning of HP3. It was supposed to be a flashlight. *This is soooo contradictory. If they haven’t known, it’s illegal to use magic if one’s underage. They even showed that in HP2! The problem with new directors you see? Χ
· Marjorie Dursley was not supposed to fly out to the sky when she bloated. There was no such thing in the book. *But it was funny especially when I saw Petunia Dursley waving a hanky at her when she flew out. √
· The falling over at the gutter by Harry was wrong. He was supposed to fall over because he almost got ran down by the Knight bus. *They made appear that the dog cast a spell to make Harry fall back. That can’t happen. The ministry will find out if a spell has been cast on that place and will be blamed on Harry. I don’t think any other wizard is in Magnolia Crescent right?? Χ
· The dog was supposed to be at his back, not in front. It did not also bark in the book.
· At the Knight Bus; Harry was supposed to know Black already. *He could have just easily told Stan Shunpike that I saw him on the muggle news which should have aired while the Dursley’s were dining. Just an idea. *shrugs*
· The streetlamps and pavement was supposed to jump back for the Knight Bus. *I bet that was too much for them to make. :D
· There was no such thing as a head puppet in the Knight Bus. *But it was hilarious. √
· The old lady in crutches crossing the street was nowhere in the book too. *But that was funny. √
· Shunpike and Ernie was supposed to stop by and known Neville is actually Harry Potter. Cornelius Fudge was supposed to meet Harry at the door of Leaky Cauldron too. *Too much talk I guess.
· The monster book of monsters was supposed to be opened by Harry at Privet Drive as it was a birthday gift from Hagrid, not at the Leaky Cauldron. *Well, come to think of it, they omit Harry birthday since HP2. Need to cut off air-time I suppose.
· Harry bought his own school books too, not the minister. *Imagine your President buying your own school books? Astounding! Utterly absurd! I suppose they made the masses think that for the reasons harry can’t wander about. He was actually just banned from the muggle streets. Not at Diagon Alley. Χ
· Mr. Weasley explaining to Harry about not going after Black was supposedly at Platforms 9 ¾, not at the Leaky Cauldron. *Since they usually come in late, and it will be too noisy at the train station, that scene will do. √
· At the Hogwarts Express; Ginny and Neville was supposed to be in the compartment and Lupin was supposedly awake during the black-out before the dementor came. *Too much to portray. √
· Harry was not supposed to get a turn on the boggart. As Professor Lupin thought Voldemort might come out, which he also asked at the bridge. *It doesn’t make sense. Χ
· At the boggart class; the gryffindors were not supposed to do that class with the slytherins. *It didn’t say in the book which house they were doing it with though. And they might be cutting off talent fees. :D √
· The one who found the fat lady was not Filch and the one who said it was Sirius Black that attacked was not the fat lady but PEEVES. *I still don’t know why they didn’t show Peeves.
· At Hagrid’s first class; there was supposedly a dozen hippogriffs. *Well that’s too much for them I guess.
· At Hagrid’s first class; Harry was suppose to volunteer, not being forced to. *It was funny how they all backed away that it seems Harry volunteered. And to top it off, Ron pushed him too. Hahaha. √
· At the first quidditch match with the Hufflepuff team; Cedric was not supposed to fall off his broom and get electrocuted because he was supposed to get the snitch. *They should seriously read the books. :D
· At the 2nd Hogsmeade visit; Harry was not supposed to take Neville’s lollipop nor bump into carolers later on. *You would know better than to bump anyone when your invisible or take something off somebody else, that would alert wizarding folks. Harry was not supposed to be seen anywhere in Hogsmeade nor felt. Χ
· At the 2nd Hogsmeade visit; Harry was not supposed to be wearing the invisibility cloak. He was wearing it in the 3rd Hogsmeade visit. *I suppose that was the 2nd visit as it was winter.
· At the 2nd Hogsmeade visit; Harry was not supposed to be flinging snow at Malfoy. This happened at the 3rd Hogsmeade visit when it was spring, not winter. Furthermore, it was mud he threw at Malfoy and not snow. *Wow, they are seriously confusing me now. But I guess they thought of merging them together to get a move on. Tsk2.
· The Three Broomsticks is not supposed to be restricted from underage wizards. *So why were Hermione and Ron being restrained?! Χ
· How Harry knew of Sirius being his godfather was wrong. *But I like it that it was in a private room. Else, anybody would have been able to hear them. √
· How the map was confiscated was wrong too. *Well, isn’t everything else?? Arrrgghhh… Tough job this is. Anyway, it was supposedly because of the 3rd Hogsmeade visit and not about Harry finding Peter Pettigrew in the dead of night. But I think the scene worked out. Made Professor Lupin alert as to why the map showed Peter.
· At the dementor/boggart class; Harry was not suppose to use the memory of his mom and dad talking to him, but the memory when he knew he was a wizard and would be leaving the Dursleys. *Harry is right, I don’t even think that memory he chose was real. It’s nowhere in the book.
· Harry was supposed to hear the prophecy on a Divination final exam. *That was not a final exam as Hermione walked out before the final exam happened. They are screwing the timelines of the book and so is my mind. Grrr…
· Professor Trelawney’s classroom was supposedly up a trapdoor, not a usual door.
· Hermione was not supposed to punch Malfoy but instead, slap him. And it was supposedly morning, not sunset. *Punching is better though. :D √
· Harry, Ron, and Hermione were supposed to wear the invisibility cloak when they went to Hagrid’s hut. *They were not allowed out of the grounds after 6pm due to the Sirius Black scare. That was supposedly 7:30pm. But there’s a good thing there, they can’t continue filming on nothingness. Masses would want to see something or someone on their screens right? So, that worked out. √
· There should have been 4 people in the execution ceremony apart from Hagrid. *Cost-cutting eh?
· At Hagrid’s hut; Hermione was the one who found scabbers, not Hagrid.
· At Hagrid’s hut; there was nothing in the book about future Hermione throwing a stone at present Hermione nor at present Harry to get their attention outside the window. It was Hagrid who noticed the executioners coming. Furthermore, they weren’t supposed to be hiding behind a pumpkin patch, just behind the trees. *That went well anyway. It was much better in the movie. √
· Harry, Ron, and Hermione was not supposed to see the executioner swing his axe as their backs were at Hagrid’s hut. They only heard the swish of the axe. *Well, this went well too. Led the masses to think Buckbeak was indeed beheaded. √
· At the Whomping Willow; Harry was not supposed to lose his glasses as they entered the tunnel. Crookshanks was supposed to be there to hit the knot that keeps the Willow still. *Crookshanks was supposed to be in the Shrieking Shack too. Well, guess they weren’t able to train him. :D I think this worked out.
· At the Shrieking Shack; Professor Snape was supposed to use the invisibility cloak and listen first, not just appear at the door. *In the first place, Harry didn’t bring the cloak so, I guess, all is well.
· At the tunnel; Ron was supposed to be in bandages and chained to Peter Pettigrew who was also chained to Professor Lupin. Professor Snape was supposed to be levitated by Sirius too. *I don’t know why they didn’t bandaged Ron in the movie. For crying out loud, Sirius and Professor Lupin were brilliant wizards! I understand about them leaving Professor Snape though. Χ
· Pettigrew’s pleading for his life was supposedly in the Shrieking Shack, not at the Willow.
· Sirius’ proposition to Harry about living with him was supposedly in the tunnel, not at the grounds.
· At the lake; Hermione was supposed to be with Harry when the Dementor’s swarm in. The future Hermione however was not supposed to be with Harry when he made the patronus. *They are seriously screwing it up. I’m having a headache with this.
· At the infirmary; Dumbledore said it was 5 mins before midnight, then he said, three turns should do it, which makes 3 hours back. Harry and Ron went back at 7:30. That’s not three hours. Χ
· At the infirmary; Ron was not supposed to be conscious when Dumbledore came in or the entire time.
· Future Harry and Hermione was not supposed to see Hermione punching Draco as it was supposedly morning which is during care of magical creatures class, not almost sunset.
· At releasing Buckbeak; there was nothing in the book about feeding Buckbeak dead animals to make him budge and get up. *But that makes sense. √
· At the Forbidden Forest; Hermione didn’t howl to get the werewolf off Sirius. She and Harry weren’t attack by it either. *That was full of suspense so thumbs up. √
· At the lake; the stag patronus was supposed to gallop and scare away the dementors not shining that bright. *The effects were good but that’s not how patronuses work. Χ
· At the infirmary; Ron was not supposed to be conscious either when Harry and Hermione came back. *That was funny though, the look on Ron’s face. √
· At breakfast; The firebolt was supposed to be sent during Christmas and before they rescued Sirius. *See, they are screwing the timelines. But I have a pretty good idea as to their theme. They made it look as if all the things happened right after the holidays (Easter) ended as it was already spring. The same goes with the 2nd and 3rd Hogsmeade visit merged into one. Same also with the Divination walk-out incident. That happened during the easter holidays. But everything happened before Quidditch final. So they seemed all is well. I guess it worked out.
NOTE: Halfway to this and I needed to stop. I had a super headache that I needed to rest for a while. Afterwards, it rained. So I got myself soaked and happy enough to finish this. Hahahaha. I hope I can still do the next ones. Oh, somebody help me.
