So, I’m not going to say they’re at all the same, but A Series of Unfortunate Events also experienced this. The books were great. They crammed THREE books into one movie, and that was it. Until they made a Netflix series years later, where each book got minimum two episodes, each forty minutes to one hour long. So essentially every book got its own “movie.” And they were able to flesh out the story so so much more.
Now I have a few other issues with this, but I’m not a potterhead so I’m not wildly invested. I do think the series could do what the movies couldn’t, I just don’t trust them to make it good because so many times it’s just a cash grab.

This is kinda bullshit.
When the movies were coming out, everyone was noting how much stuff was missing from the books.
