The book series about authorship has been one of the most popular in the category for years. No wonder that all the novels have been published, still enjoying unflagging popularity and interest. However, those who first got acquainted with the original, and only later with the film adaptation, usually feel unsatisfied. Many notice significant differences not only in the plot, but also in the characteristics of specific characters. Which heroes of the series have lost “that something” appearing on the screen? We check!
A rebel in the book, a silent mouse on the screen. How did the filmmakers portray Ginny and Cho?
In this list, you can’t help but start with Ginny Weasley. Ron’s sister, one year younger, is depicted in the books as a feisty, conceited and self-confident teenager. The girl has a group of admirers, she does not let herself get into her head and expresses her opinion clearly. In turn, in the filming, she completely lost her character, becoming bland. She does not stand out from the crowd at all, she usually stays on the sidelines, is quiet, devoid of charisma and energy.
A similar situation takes place in the case of the title character’s first love. By the time Cho reveals the headquarters of Dumbledore’s Army to Professor Umbridge, she is lost to most viewers. The bad impression is not even changed by the fact that soon after it turns out that she revealed the secret unconsciously, being under the influence of the magic of a cunning teacher. The writers deliberately made such changes in the plot so as not to introduce too many obstacles to the development of more crucial events. However, this does not change the fact that the plot of this character is completely different in the books, where it is not Cho, but her friend, Marietta Edgecombe, who goes over to the side of the enemy.
Ron is the epitome of a dimwitted boy. In the books, he also has a second, serious nature
The young wizard is rather the personification of the stereotypical “fool” in the film adaptations. He is not particularly bright, often takes advantage of Hermione’s kindness and knowledge, and gets into trouble easily. In turn, Rowling presents him as an inexperienced teenager with an original sense of humor and distance to the world. Although Rupert Grint, who plays this role, perfectly reproduced the character’s humorous personality, the latter, a bit more serious and more structured, was missing.
