I guess I'm saying I see Miles' suggestion as plausible; it's just if it's
accurate, it's rather ridiculous imo for Warner to have assumed such major
league simplification/distillation was necessary.

I don't think WB had anything to do with it. I think it's Kloves. He
distilled the characters to what he believes are their basic structures,
hero, comic sidekick and well-of-knowledge. It's really a standard way for
screenwriters to think. Everything has to be high-concept in
big-budget-Hollywood. However, I don't think WB really keeps much of a hand
in production. In fact, it was the last three directors that opted for
shorter films when WB was fine with 2:45 run time and fine with GOF, OOTP &
HBP being 6 films!!! It was the directors that made the choices to cut, and
Kloves who made the choice to distill the characters. 

 

I think it's easy to point a mean finger at WB and say it's their fault, but
time and time again what I read is screenwriter and director, not
production.
