Why books should not be movies

[saintbacchus]

I didn't say nobody else thinks the way you do. I believe you're 
speaking for a segment of Harry Potter fans, although the size of 
that segment really can't be determined by the number of bad reviews 
on the IMDb. That's not relevant to this discussion, though.

Yes, the first two movies were more faithful to the books. The point 
of contention is whether that makes them better, or more enjoyable, 
films. Cuaron didn't make the changes he did just to annoy you, he 
made each one for sound cinematic reasons. But in not accepting that 
books are not the same as films, you're dismissing any arguments of 
cinematic merit out of hand.
