There has always been a debate between fans of the saga Harry Potter. Are movies better than books? Or are novels more compelling than feature films. A historical debate which is not ready to end, and which will soon be fueled by the series Harry Potter. If, generally, people prefer JK Rowling’s novels, we have selected 3 moments in the film saga for you Harry Potter which are better realized than in the novels.
Harry Potter getting his magic wand
Compared to the other volumes of the literary saga, the first Harry Potter is much shorter than its successors. Adapted for the screen by Chris Columbus, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is still very popular with fans. It must be said that the director of Mom, I missed the plane perfectly manages to create a magical, magical and endearing environment. In particular thanks to this chapter, although quite short from the novels of J.K. Rowlingwhen Potter buys his school supplies.
Chris Columbus insists more than the author on this part of the story. In the film, the moment when Harry chooses his magic wand Ollivander is a highlight of this first opus. However, in the novels, this passage only concerns a few lines.
The death of Sirius Black in The Order of the Phoenix
Incarnated by Gary Oldman in the movies, Sirius Black became, over time, one of the fans’ favorite characters. In Harry Potter and the Order of the PhoenixSirius Black is murdered by Bellatrix. A much more striking sequence in the film David Yates that in the novel of J.K. Rowling. In this fifth opus, the tension reaches its peak when Harry and his friends find themselves trapped in the Hall of Prophecies of the Ministry of Magic.

David Yates’ direction creates an anthology scene. Harry Potter’s cry adds dramatic tension that JK Rowling could not create. Time seems to slow down until Potter’s cry of rage decides to chase his godfather’s murderer. In the book, things are arranged differently. JK Rowling gives Harry Potter time to calm downtime to understand and assimilate the death of Sirius Black. The sequence unfolds much less in panic and haste.

Somewhere in The Deathly Hallows – Part 1Harry and Hermione find themselves together. At this stage of the story, the cult trio seeks to find Voldemort’s Horcruxes. But their journey involves great sacrifices. The dark energy of the medallion Slytherin affects the group, amplifying their emotions and insecurities. This ultimately leads Ron leavingoverwhelmed by his feelings, leaving Harry and Hermione shaken and uncomfortable.
The true magic of the storyHarry Potter resides in its themes of love and friendship. Compared to the book, the film highlights these themes in a more natural way. While O Children of Nick Cave goes on the radio, Harry and Hermione share a dance. For the first time in a long time, they smile and have funbreaking the cycle of stress and sadness. In this fleeting moment, they reconnect with the reason that unites them in this fight, making this scene essential. A detail but powerful, which makes all the difference.
