But it was, its a text book.
The thing is that Rowling sought more ways to tell the stories, which is 
part  of why she personally insisted no films would be made without her 
words.  There are no book editions to my knowledge of the prior films for 
example.  Rowling publishes her screenplays as books to mirror the novels, 
still in book form still reading largely like prose, still Rowling.
