I have decided to write this Статья because I've noticed that a lot of people have doubts about the Harry Potter movies.

First of all, let me say that one of my biggest pet peeves is when people call themselves "major Harry Potter fans" but have never read the books. I do not think that Ты can be a Harry Potter Фан just by watching the movies, and I'm pretty sure anyone who has read the Книги will agree with me on this.

Having сказал(-а) that though, the other день one of my Друзья asked me:
"Why were the Harry Potter Фильмы made?"
She asked this Вопрос because she felt like the Фильмы "did not live up" to the book, или that they "weren't as good".
My answer to this would definitely be: Ты are Right. The Фильмы are not as good as the books, I agree. But my problem is that, I think, many people are underestimating the movies.

The Книги have a LOT of details in them, not to metion they are Фэнтези books. They are stories with dragons, giants, wizars, magic, castles, etc. Anything with just ONE of these detailes would be pretty hard to turn into a movie.

People's main point when arguing against the Фильмы is: 'They leave so much stuff out'.
Of course they do! These are 2 час long Фильмы versus 600 pages of book. Imagine how hard it would be to turn these Книги into movies!
They can definitely NOT include as many things as we would like them to. They just need to include plot, and naturally the sub-plots don't usually make it in.

My whole point with this is: To really enjoy a Harry Potter movie it is essential to go into the movie theatre with a different mind set. Ты have to go in, KNOWING that this will not be 100% exactly like the book. It will be different, things will be cut out, and maybe your Избранное part won't be included.
It is normal that as Ты go out of the theatre Ты might be thinking: "Aww I wish they included the part with __________". But once we get pass the disappointment of that, is when we can really enjoy the films.

Once people accept these facts, I think we will be able to appreciate the Фильмы much more. Because, when thinking about it, I realize that the things that are created with the movie are pretty amazing.

Clearly they will never be as good as the books, which is why there is not even a point in comparing them. (I know it's hard not to, but I wish it didn't happen)
As for the Фильмы themselves, I think they are as good as they can be, and I couldn't really ask for much more!
