We’re not talking about great literature here.

I don't recall anyone saying that we were.

A book - a movie, big difference.

Yes, quite a difference. Those of us who have both read the books and seen the movies know that to be true.

You, on the other hand, are making it up.

I,for one,was repulsed by the totally un-needed talking shrunken head in the Knight Bus (movie version).Such an object would be Dark Magic and not part of a Ministry-approved wizard transportation service.Remember the Ministry oversaw the Floo Network and tested Apparating.

Books allow the readers' imagination full rein,whilst movies restrict the viewer to a more passive role.I prefer the book if I must choose.
