Ohhhh boy.... Are you SURE you want me to address this subject??????? Ok... Well, you asked for it. ;)
Let's talk Harry Potter.... The books first and then I'll get to the movies.
Did we HAVE to kill off everyone??? Well, nearly everyone?? WHY Dobby? Hedwig? Mad-Eye?
I understand Sirius and Dumbledore, really I do... But STILL!!! Fred???? Lupin and Tonks????
GRRR!!!
Now, the movies!!!
Why leave out sooooo many great parts?? I understand that not all of the stuff can fit but can we at least TRY??
Why leave out Peeves and Winky???
Sigh... Most of us really would watch 4 hour movies if they followed the books properly.
So, if I were to rewrite all the endings, nearly everyone would live!!! LOL We can kill off the bad guys, actually I would kill MORE of them off. LOL
And if the movies were left up to me, they would follow the books!!!!! So, there! ;)

I'm a terrible person.... I never read the books, but I do have to agree with you. The last two really didn't do anything for me and I wish they would have been different.
ReplyDeleteThere are just sooo many things that were left out of the movies that I found myself having to explain so much to people that watch the movies but didn't read the books. There was such a big disconnect. :/
DeleteWhat a great prompt...I would not be able to stop writing...I have so many books that I wish could have ended differently or kept going on and on and on.
ReplyDeleteWell, I have been on a bit of a time constraint. LOL I probably could have gone on forever... LOL
DeleteI just finished reading the series, and I honestly cried for the last 2 hours reading the book. In fact it took me longer to finish it because i was an absolute snotty mess. BUT, i think harry had to lose so many people to be his strength in the end. I think maybe those losses are what gave him the courage to choose to make the biggest sacrifice. But man i really didn't want sirius to go. I kinda fell for that character a little bit.
ReplyDeleteME, TOO!!!!! I had such a thing for Sirius.
DeleteI was a mess all the way through the last book. One time I even threw it across the room!!!
I know that JK Rowing wanted to leave Harry without any of his adult support but man... Hedwig???? Dobby???? Fred?? My poor aching heart!
I almost always end up disappointed when I read a book and then see the movie. I think Hollywood needs to hire you and I to be sure they get it right.
ReplyDeleteGone Girl was a book that I loved, but did not like the ending. The problem was I didn't know how I felt. Did the ending ruin the whole book for me? I still am not sure.
Oh, I KNOW!!!! I had such issues with the end of that one. GRRRR!!!!! Makes me want to smack the author!!! LOL
DeleteI would definitely take that job!! LOL
I would have picked the same series! Oh I love you Stacy...Hedwig the end of his childhood shook me...Dobby broke my heart...then Fred shattered it.
ReplyDeleteYES YES and YES!!!!!
DeleteKnives to my heart.
I have never read Harry Potter so can't comment. But there are many books and movies I would like to change the ending. Lately John Grisham's books disappoint with the endings.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, the Grisham books to movies are just a mess. In some instances you almost can't recognize what it's supposed to be!
DeleteI may be the only person on the planet not to like Harry Potter, however I do like your choice of not killing people. Sounds like the right thing to do.
ReplyDeletePS: there's a pool party going on in your garden - well, over at my blog. Come and have a cocktail!
GASP!!!!! No like HP??? No way!!! This does not compute! I don't understand!!
Delete;)
I hate it when they turn books into movies for that very reason, the movies never do the books justice. The only time I've preferred the movie to the book was The Devil Wears Prada. The rest of the time I'll take the book any day.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes! The Devil Wears Prada and I Am Legend. MUCH prefer the movies to the books. And I NEVER say that!!!
DeletePerfect choice and I agree 100%
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU!!!!! :D
DeleteI've not read the HP books and I've only seen the first movie.
ReplyDeleteI have read literally thousands of books and seen some movies that go alone with them, they are always so different and not always bad.
Not ALWAYS bad but sometimes I have to wonder if the screen writers even read the books they are supposed to be adapting! LOL
DeleteSo aggravating when movies deviate so much from books or leave out crucial parts. Or add stuff that wasn't there!
ReplyDeleteYES!!!!!! Makes me crazy!!!!!
DeleteJK Rowling is a genius - 7 books, 7 meaningful deaths, 7 horcruxes to make her live forever. Just saying.
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH!!!!! I never thought of it that way!!! YILES!!!!!
