“I give up.”

We’re not talking about great literature here. A book - a movie, big difference. I’m sure if the differences were that big there would be a general outcry on the part of the Potterheads.

You clearly have never looked around to see how people felt about the movies...

Since you wouldn't read them or follow the Potterheads, how would you know ANY of the differences or omissions? Nothing like being less than half-informed. Hope you don't work in any professional capacity, I'd be worried about the quality.

Not true. Some "Potterheads" raise a big outcry each movie complaining about everything that is left out. Those that don't are the ones who understand how much is lost in translation between a book and a movie.

I don't recall anyone saying that we were.

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.
