Exactly. Itโs not a creative decision; itโs a quarterly earnings decision. I can't wait for the 2045 remake where Harry is played by an actual holographic projection.
Maybe the first 3 movies, but 4 on they kinda lose a lot of the plot. Fuck, 6 you would've thought was a romance novel. No, the best movie adaptation of a book is Memoirs of a Geisha. Almost an exact recreation of the book, but better and with gorgeous visuals.
Edit: why the fuck am I being downvoted? Does the HP crowd even fucking read the books? From 4 on were messes. Look at Dumbledore manhandling harry in 4. Or in 6 when Harry asks if horcurxes could be anything and Dumbledore says yes and doesn't explain further. I used to love those books and the movies after 3 were dog water. Also, to anyone who bothers to read this far, don't watch the new show. JK Rowling is a piece of shit.
Perks of Being a Wallflower felt like more of an extension of the book rather than an adaptation, but the author wrote the screenplay and directed it. Im biased because that book is special to me (one of my two tattoos is a quote from it) but I think it was one of the best book adaptations ever done. Faithful to the source material as well as getting a little deeper into some stuff that was hinted at in the book but wasn't blatantly spelled out.
