Hasn't Chris Columbus done exactly what he was tasked to do?

[hpoldfan]

Chris Columbus, Steve Kloves, and David Heyman were tasked with the 
job of bring Harry Potter to the screen. They had to be true to the 
books, and have the approval of JKR of all the material. This almost 
has never been done before on this scale.

To reach this end they hired a cast that was recognizable by 
everyone who had read a least on of the books. When the pictures of 
the cast was first published no one needed captions to recognize all 
the characters.

The dialog in the first two movies was 90% straight from the books.

The end results was two movies that are the second and third highest 
grossing pictures ever made.

Now everyone seems to want to compare Harry and the Lord of the 
Rings. Anyone who has read LOR knows that it is a story of the 
Hobbits. The movies are not about the Hobbits. The movie is so far 
from the books that it is almost a different story.

The people behind LOR have done what some people want done to Harry. 
I do not think Harry Potter fans want that to happen in future films!
