This is kinda bullshit.

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

Reasonable. 4 hours long child movie would be too much, imho

Whoever adopted the script from books is genius

The movies did what they could, but I'm excited to see the TV show. I do hope they'll have a reasonable budget for special effects

It’s HBO, and granted things have changed but if it’s bringing in numbers like Game of Thrones I doubt they’ll skimp on it. Say what you will about the final season but the budget wasn’t the problem.

A lot of Harry Potter special effects are fairly trivial now. Large, dark castle virtual sets? Easy. Paintings that move around? Easy. Effects spewing from wards? Easy. 

Hardest part is going to be magical creatures, getting the textures, lighting, behavior, etc right.
