"'I'd never have believed this," Harry said. "The man who taught me to fight dementors ---- a coward." Lupin drew his wand so fast that Harry had barely reached for his own; there was a loud bang and he felt himself flying backward as if punched; as he slammed into the kitchen wall and slid to the floor, he glimpsed the tail of Lupin's cloak disappearing around the door." (Page 214)
It's that time again folks, today the Riddikulus Crew dives in and gives you the good, the bad, and the ugly as we compare the differences between Chapter 1 through Chapter 24 of the novel against the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 film.
Join us as we bring attention to the vital omissions, additions that either detracted or enhanced key moments, unnecessary changes that affect the storyline. Examples include Alastor Moody flying alone on his broom, the lack of a disguise for Harry at Bill & Fleur's wedding, the omission of Harry's 17th birthday, the manner in which we found out the sword of Gryffindor in Snape's office was a fake, leaving out Lupin's arrival/argument at Grimmauld's place, the absence of the portrait of Phineas Nigellus, the lack of Voldemort's appearance at Godric's Hollow, the change of the leader of the Snatchers who take the trio prisoner, and the unresolved fate of Peter Pettigrew
In addition to identifying the major differences, we explain how the story line entirely changes if we took the films version of events at face value, and back up our viewpoints with facts, page numbers of the book, and timestamps of the film. With this marking the halfway point of the final installment in the Harry Potter franchise, you can't afford to miss a single thing!
"And then his scar burst open and he was Voldemort and he was running across the fetid bedroom, his long white hands clutching at the windowsill as he glimpsed the bald man and the little woman twist and vanish, and he screamed with rage, a scream that mingled with the girl's, that echoed across the dark gardens over the church bells ringing in Christmas Day."
