Harry Potter movie-book difference 4

I was finally able to draw him. Which means, it looks a lot like him now. Hahahaha.

*sighs* On to the next set of differences. Same rule applies. God help me. :|

Book-movie difference HP4

·         Harry was not supposed to have the Riddle House dream a recurring one. He only dreamed it once.

·         Barty Crouch Jr. was not supposed to be at the Riddle House on that dream.

·         At Stoatshead Hill; Harry was supposed to be touching the portkey minutes before take-off, not at the last minute. *Though that was exciting. √

·         Ron’s dress robes was supposed to be given before the start of term, not after at an owl post. *It was a school requirement so it should be before. Yes it’s well presented in the movie but it’s too flawed. *shrugs*

·         At the Quidditch World Cup; there was not supposed to be flying everywhere nor magic. They were supposed to be discreet with magic as there are muggles living near the match site. *Come to think of it. I thought they could magic enough that big of a site since they are of course the Ministry of Magic, but maybe, it indeed is quite impossible. Χ

·         At the Quidditch World Cup; they were supposed to put up the tent themselves. *That could take long. √

·         At the Quidditch World Cup; there were supposedly 2 tents. One for the boys and one for the girls. *As for me, I don’t really mind. Dunno about you guys.

·         At the Quidditch World Cup stadium; the Weasleys, Harry, and Hermione were supposed to be seatmates with the Malfoys and the Minister. *They made it looked like the Weasleys didn’t get decent seats when they’re supposed to be. Ow well, they’ve got one thing consistent.

·         At the Quidditch World Cup stadium; it was nowhere in the book they met with the Malfoys on the way. *That wasn’t interesting. At all. That could have been deleted and replaced with something better. Perhaps, meeting Ludo Bagman instead? Haha. Χ

·         At the Quidditch World Cup stadium; it was supposedly Ludo Bagman who started the match, not the Minister. *Imagine your President starting the FIFA WORLD CUP??? They shouldn’t be trifled with such. They can watch but not start it. Χ

·         At the Quidditch World Cup; the Weasleys, Harry, and Hermione was supposed to be asleep when the death eaters caused the commotion.

·         At the Quidditch World Cup; Harry’s scar was not supposed to hurt just by looking at the dark mark, nor seeing Mr. Crouch dead. *That is not how it works. Χ

·         At the great hall; Mad-eye Moody was not supposed to pacify the lightning on the ceiling, it was not in the book. *And besides, the ceiling was only magicked to look like the sky above. Inconsistent and what’s the use anyway? Χ

·         Mad-eye’s magical eye was not supposed to be pasted like an eye patch, it was supposedly just like an eye but larger and blue. *It will be hard for them to do that now, won’t it? Harder to do prosthetics. :D

·         The Durmstrang ship was supposed to appear visible to students. Students were supposed to be lined up at the grounds too. *I agree. Their presentation was better. √

·         Beauxbatons participants was supposed to be co-ed, not just girls. *They made it look like Beauxbatons is an all-girl school and Durmstrang is an all-boys school. That’s an interesting concept. But it’s wrong. Well, they pulled it off.

·         At the great hall; Gabrielle Delacour was not supposed to be at the eve of Halloween together with the Beauxbatons participants. It was not in the book. *Well, the book didn’t say she was with them. Come to think of it, how did they get Gabrielle on the 2^nd task then? √

·         The Goblet of Fire was supposed to be in a crest (meaning can be opened with a lock) encrusted with jewels. *Dumbledore’s way of unlocking it was better in the movie. √

·         The Goblet of Fire was supposed to be placed at the Entrance Hall on the eve of Halloween, not at the great hall.

·         Fred and George Weasley was not supposed to be able to put their paper in the Goblet, they were supposed to be thrown out right after they entered the age-line. *Because if they were able to place their papers in, the cup wouldn’t have devoured it because, it doesn’t know if the submitters were below the age limit. It was not built to detect that. Χ

·         There was nowhere in the book about Karkaroff going for the goblet. *What’s he supposed to be there for anyway? To led us to think it was him who put Harry’s name in? Which we knew after that he didn’t. So what’s the use now of that scene? It would have served its purpose if Impostor Mad-eye said he confunded Karkaroff to do it, but he didn’t. Χ

·         Padma Patil was not supposed to be with the Gryffindors, inside the Gryffindor common room, and seating at the Gryffindor table in the Great hall. She’s supposed to be a Ravenclaw! *It’s gonna conflict the previous movies too. Not just the book. Χ

·         At the Gryffindor common room; Sirius’ head was not supposed to be on the coal but sitting on the fire. *I think there’s a difference to that right? :D Though it was a very nice presentation but, it will conflict on floo powder travelling. Χ

·         Harry was supposed to talk to Sirius after he saw the dragons, not before.

·         At the great lake; Neville’s book that was loaned to him by Mad-eye was titled wrong. It’s not Magical Water Plants of the Highland Lochs but One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi. Χ

·         Ron was not the one who found out about the dragons. It was Hagrid. And there’s nowhere in the book about Ron telling Hermione that Hagrid’s looking for Harry. *But I like that scene. Though they could have just done the shortcut to Hagrid. √

·         There was nothing in the book about Hermione visiting the Champions tent at the first task. *Though that’s a quicker way of getting the scoop about Harry’s secret heartache. √

·         At the 1^st task; Barty Crouch was not supposed to be at the first task as he was already “ill” then.

·         At the 1^st task; Rita, Dumbledore, and Crouch was not supposed to be in the tent with the champions. It was supposed to be Ludo Bagman that’s in there doing the picking of dragons. *I guess this all worked out.

·         At the 1^st task; the dragon was not supposed to be able to chase Harry out of the field. *Anything could have gone wrong too in the book. That is probable. And the suspense was good. √

·         There was nothing on the book about them practicing waltz for the Yule Ball. *But Ron was soooo funny dancing with Professor McGonagall! √

·         Harry asked Cho Chang to the Yule Ball at a corridor, not at the Owlery.

·         At the Yule Ball; Ron’s dress robes were supposedly lace-free by then. *That’ll take long, yes.

·         At the Yule Ball; Hermione was supposed to be wearing a blue dress. *Pink looks better on her so that’s okay. √

·         At the Yule Ball; the Weird Sisters (or the band) was supposed to be girls.

·         At the Yule Ball; it was supposedly a Beauxbaton boy who asked Parvati to dance, not a Durmstrang student.

·         At the Yule Ball; there was nowhere in the book about Hermione and Ron’s argument up the stairs. *But I like that one though. √

·         Karkaroff and Snape were supposed to be arguing about the death-eater mark at the bushes off the grounds during the Yule Ball, not at Snape’s office. *That’s a quicker way to portray about the missing potion ingredients. √

·         Cedric was supposed to be giving Harry advice about the egg after the Yule Ball ended, not at a corridor. *I didn’t quite agree about ending the Yule Ball with an egg advice. √

·         At the prefects bathroom; the mermaid on the window was supposed to be asleep.

·         At the library; it was supposedly Fred and George who told Hermione and Ron that McGonagall was looking for them, not Mad-eye. *It all worked anyway. To make the airtime a lot shorter. √

·         Dobby was supposed to be the one who gave the Gillyweed, not Neville. *Though Neville is good in herbology, I doubt he can nick gillyweed from Snape’s office. Χ

·         At the 2^nd task; the champions were supposed to be able to wade out in the lake, meaning, they were near the shore, not at the center of the lake. *It was better in the movie. √

·         At the 2^nd task; Harry was supposed to be wearing robes when he got into the lake, not a swim suit. He was supposed to be late so he didn’t have the chance to change into one. *Long to portray.

·         At the 2^nd task; the hostages were supposed to be tied to a merperson statue, not levitated and bound by a rope. Therefore, means of cutting it off is through a sharp stone and not the wand. Because you are not supposed to be able to use the wand underwater to create sparks. It only surges hot water. *That was better. Would have been hard for Krum to rescue Hermione. And would be too long to portray. √

·         At the 2^nd task; Cedric was supposed to be late by a minute. They were supposedly all late. *Ow well, they gone by RULES ARE RULES. :D

·         At the 2^nd task; Rita was not supposed to be at the 2^nd task. She was supposedly banned from the school grounds by Dumbledore after the 1^st task for being an obnoxious writer.

·         At the 2^nd task; Harry was supposed to be tied with Cedric for the points, not second place.

·         Barty Crouch was not supposed to be found dead like that. *That scene was totally wrong. It’s not in the book at all. And it’s contradictory. Who would kill Crouch like that and do not clean it up? It will alert the Ministry! Χ

·         At the pensieve memory; Mad-eye was supposed to be beside Dumbledore, not above.

·         At the pensieve memory; How Barty Crouch Jr. was found out as a death eater was not the same hearing as Karkaroff. And also, Barty Crouch Jr. did not admit he was a death eater. *Well, it cuts airtime. And it so called explains how Karkaroff got off. I like the scene. It was easy enough to understand. √

·         At the 3^rd task; there were supposed to be creatures as obstacles in the maze, unlike what Dumbledore said. *The maze isn’t interesting at all without them. Especially the Sphinx. Χ

·         At the 3^rd task; there were supposedly no plants that trip you off, nor bind you to the ground. The tasks were not supposed to be fatal to the champions. *It’s contradictory. Χ

·         At the 3^rd task; it was not supposed to be Harry who was torn between helping Cedric or let him die. It was the other way around. Harry was supposed to be the one who needed Cedric’s help. *Ow well, consistency again for exhibiting moral fiber. I guess that worked out. √

·         At the graveyard; Cedric was supposed to die without further ado, not being told by Harry to go back to the cup. *But that was really better, you will be left of what ifs. √

·         At the graveyard; Harry was supposed to be bound with ropes, not the statue.

·         At the graveyard; during the priori incantatem, the first ghost of a spell that went out of Voldemort’s wand was supposedly the ghost of a hand, the hand he made for Peter Pettigrew. *It’s contradictory to how the spell works. Χ

·         Back at Hogwarts; Arthur Weasley was not supposed to be at the 3^rd task, it was supposedly, Bill and Molly Weasley that supported Harry. *I don’t know why Mrs. Weasley was not in the movie. Did she fall ill?

·         At Mad-eye’s office; the spell that Dumbledore used to break the door was supposedly STUPEFY, not expelliarmus. Mad-eyes was supposed to be stupefied so he can’t do any harm. *Right then, anything could go wrong, they just let him lay there. What if he attacked while they were talking to the real Mad-eye in the crest? Χ

·         At Mad-eye’s office; it was supposedly Professor McGonagall who stood guard of Barty Crouch Jr., not Snape.
