Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re going to be taking a look at aspects of the Harry Potter universe that everyone seems to remember…The wrong way. And partly to blame for all of this is the fact that the Harry Potter books were adapted to film.
The short answer for WHY all of this happened is that in transforming the beloved book series into movies, a lot of liberties were taken.
But now that so many years have passed, a lot of these movie misconceptions have become so ingrained that they've completely overwritten how we remember the original Harry Potter books. How you perceive this video will depend entirely on how you engaged with the series. For some, the films were too frustrating to finish — filled with inaccuracies that clashed with the books- and by going down this path their memory of the books (and more importantly, accurate information) remained intact.
But for many others, the books and movies have blended together into one seamless version of the story. Harry Potter as a whole became an amalgamation of both book and film — with the lines between them increasingly blurred.
And in many instances these changes became so pervasive that they overwrote how nearly everyone remembered the source material.
After you’ve watched the video, let me know how many of these things YOU remembered the wrong way. Be honest.
