Goblet Of Fire Comparison
The novel Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is story full of adventure, action, and suspense, but only after the first 400 pages. The first part of the book is little more than an account of everyday life in a magical landscape. The story is really slow with nothing very interesting or exiting happening. On the other hand, when you finally get to the dramatic climax of the story, it is very well told. The movie is totally different. The director decided to add long fight scenes, such as the 2o minutes long battle scene with Harry fighting a dragon. Instead of drawing in the viewers as it did in its previous films, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire preferred to be a more about special effects. The novel by J. K. Rowling was very much different …show more content…
It was completely wrong. The hedges did not move, there was no sphinx, acromantula, or Blast-Ended Screwts. There weren't any Blast-Ended Screwts in the movie at all, for that matter. The opponents had to navigate through a maze to get to the Triwizard Cup to win the tournament. This is shown quickly in the movie and the only consistent danger appears to be the collapsing of the walls, yet in the book Harry is forced to use his wit and knowledge of spells to plot his course and face various creatures.

Secondly, Neville did not help Harry discover Gillyweed, Dobby did. Originally, Mad-Eye had intended for Neville to show Harry the book he gave him, which contained a full explanation of Gillyweed. Dobby overheard Moody talking to McGonagall about Gillyweed, and relayed the message to Harry.

Another detail that was changed was at the Quidditch match. Harry, Hermione and the Weasleys were supposed to be in a box with Cornelius Fudge, the Prime Minister from Bulgaria and Ludo Bagman, but instead they were stuck in the nosebleed section. Small bit, with not much importance to it but was messed up nevertheless. Also at the Quidditch match, Winky was blamed for the stealing of Harry's wand, and casting the spell that produced the Dark Mark. Winky was left out of the movie all together, which I thought was

    Why is it that when a book gets it’s own movie that there are several differences between the book and the movie? Some people argue that the book is always better than the movie. There is a reason for this. Firstly, in most book to movie adaptations small details are changed or are just not included. Secondly, the movie often takes short cuts and doesn’t touch on certain aspects that were described in the book. Lastly, when reading a book you are free to make your own subtext and fill in the blanks with your imagination. The movie adaptations of books have always lacked the detail that's in the book, some things are completely cut from the movie to maintain a well paced story, and it fills in the gaps for us making the experience less unique.…

    Davie Movie Vs Book

    I think, hopefully along with you, the reader that books are greater than the movie, especially in this case. For some extra details, here are some good mentions. The book, produced in 1886, had more evidence that Alan had committed the Appin Murder than the movie! Also, the plot and timing of character scenes were off. One example was when Davie asked the woman in the book where the House of Shaws was, in the movie it was a man! Also, in the book, the woman had hatred for the House of Shaws, when in the movie he had no hatred that would of made the movie slightly more…

    One thing in particular that the book does much better is making use of complex metaphors and themes, such as: the river for life, and oneness with nature, that string themselves together as you turn each page of the book, while in the movie the metaphors and symbolism are represented in a much different way through picture. In the book, both themes regarding the river are very vivid and clear, as they use strong imagery of nature to draw pictures in the minds of the readers. In the movie both themes are represented and referred to much less because of the lack of narration.…

    In the print version, readers are free to imagine or picture any scene freely. It is up to their imagination what they want to picture in their minds. In the film, the eyes see what producers wanted you to see and that is it; you do not have the ability to imagine different colors or environments.…

    Why I think the moviemaker chose those difference between the book and the movie was because in the book there was a narrator to tell you specific things. The narrator is there to tell some background information and make sure you get a better grasp of what’s taking place. So I feel as if in the movie they wanted you to pay closer attention to what was happening. And you have to have some differences between the two. While in the movie you can see more action and can sometimes explain things better by acting out, rather than being written out.…

    He described adapting the book as "tough", as it did not "lend itself to adaptation as well as the next two books." Kloves was sent a "raft" of synopses of books proposed as film adaptations, with Harry Potter being the only one that jumped out at him. He went out and bought the book, and became an instant fan. When speaking to Warner Bros. he stated that the film had to be British, and had to be true to the characters. David Heyman was confirmed to produce the film. Rowling received a large amount of creative control for the film, an arrangement that Columbus did not…

    Another important event I realized was different, was the fact that when Simon, Ralph and Jack, in the book, go looking for the beast, it is dark, which can explain why Ralph cannot see that the “beast” is actually a man whereas in the film this important event happens in broad daylight which is not very credible from a spectator’s point of view.…

    Both Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and Rowling's Harry Potter are heavily influenced by great wizards. On the surface, these wizards may seem to be very similar, but upon further analysis ,it is obvious to the reader that they have many differences. Gandalf, from the Lord of The Ring series, is a wise old wizard who is not the strongest of all wizards. His power comes the love and courage that he teaches to many of the other main characters in The Lord of the Rings, but he is almost invincible. Albus Dumbledore is the strongest wizard in the Harry Potter series.…

    First of all, detail is very important in novels. The films lack accuracy to the book proving that the novel is superior. In the film, there are characters missing including Peeves, the poltergeist and Charlie Weasley, the second eldest Weasley child. Dobby also appears only in two of the films whereas he appears in the book from Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets until the end. There are also many missing scenes including the opening for Harry Potter and The Philosophers Stone which starts off very differently than the book. I know they have to keep the movie going because it’s already very long but it seems too rushed. The characters also don’t fit their descriptions. For example, Harry Potter is supposed to have green eyes but in the…
