Here are some of the differences between the original Harry Potter novel and the movie: ** 1. Plot ** 1. ** Labyrinth related plot ** - In the original Goblet of Fire, when Harry was trapped in the maze of the huge Ade Woods in the Triwizard Tournament, there were many sinister creatures in the maze. A sphinx appeared in the maze of the third task, and Harry had to answer the puzzle it gave to pass this level. However, the movie version only showed Harry frantically escaping from the terrible plants. 2. ** Beastmaster related plot ** - The novel went into more detail about the process of wizards turning into animals and its legal control, such as James Potter, Sirius, and Peter becoming unofficial Beastmasters to accompany Lupin, who had turned into a werewolf, as well as their creation of a living map to slip out of Hogwarts. There was basically no such content in the movie, but the movie's summoning of the gods to protect the glowing elk had a deeper meaning (because the elk was the incarnation of James Potter, the patron saint of the Potter family), which was based on these settings in the novel. 3. ** Peter Pettigrew's End ** - In the novel, when Harry and his friends tried to escape Malfoy Manor, Peter Pettigrew showed mercy when he strangled Harry with his silver hand, allowing Harry to break free. Silver Hand saw this as weakness and strangled Peter instead. But in the movie, Peter was defeated by Dobby, who only disarmed him but did not kill him. 4. ** Treatment of Elder Wand ** - In the original novel, Harry used the Elder Wand to repair his own wand, and then placed the Elder Wand back in Dumbledore's grave, so that after his death, the wand would not belong to anyone. In the movie, after disarming Malfoy, the original owner of the Elder Wand, Harry was revealed as the real owner of the wand, but he broke the wand and threw it into the valley. The movie was meant to show that Harry was not tempted. 5. ** House-elf plot ** - In the novel, house-elves were treated badly and played an important role. For example, Dobby gave Harry gills in the Goblet of Fire, Hogwarts officially hired Dobby and other house-elves to work in the kitchen, and the female elf Winky, who was fired in the book, went to Hogwarts to work with Dobby, and Hermione established the House Elf Promotion Association. However, in the movie, there was only a brief mention of the Malfoy family's bad attitude towards the house-elves. The house-elves were not very useful, and there was no mention of the character Winky. 6. ** Harry and Hermione ** - In the novel, Harry and Hermione missed Ron. In the movie, Harry and Hermione danced to encourage each other. 7. ** Battle of Hogwarts related plot ** - ** Harry and Voldemort's Last Fight **: - In the movie, Harry and Voldemort stood at opposite ends of an abandoned courtyard, their wands joined together in a flashback spell. There were no bystanders around, and Voldemort's death was not clearly explained. The two fought in silence, and Voldemort fell to the ground and turned into ashes. In the book, however, they fought in the middle of the Great Hall, with all the survivors gathered in a circle. Harry explained to Voldemort how he was going to win the battle, recounting in detail the events that led to him becoming the master of the Elder Wand, which played a very important role in the book but a secondary role in the movie. Voldemort's Reaper Curse was clearly repelled by the Elder Wand's power, and Voldemort lay dead on the ground, with Harry's friends gathered around him to celebrate. - ** Plot related to Malfoy's follower **: - In the book, Goyle survived the Battle of Hogwarts, but in the movie, due to some real-life problems with the actor who played Crabbe, Zabini was equivalent to Malfoy's loyal sidekick, Vincent Crabbe. Goyle replaced Crabbe's role and set fire to the Room of Requirement and fell into the fire to be burned, which was what Crabbe did in the book. - The Fate of Lavender Brown: - In the movie, Lavender Brown was clearly shown dead after being attacked by the werewolf Fenrir Greyback, and the twins, Professor Trelawney and Patil, covered her body with a sheet. But it is very vague whether she is dead or alive in the book, which says that Lavender was 'wriggling feebly' when Hermione drove Greyback away, suggesting that she may not have died of her wounds, or at least not on the spot as in the movie. - ** Percy Weasley and Fred Weasley's Last Moments **: - Percy Weasley essentially erased all of his conflicting personalities in the film, and there was no clear shot or meaningful dialogue except for one scene in Order of the Phoenix. But in the book, Percy's loyalty to the Ministry almost broke him off from his family, and it was not until the Battle of Hogwarts that he began to repair his relationship with them. In the book, Harry saw Fred Weasley's death with his own eyes, when Fred and Percy joked as they hid from the Death Eaters, when Fred was killed in an explosion with "the last smile on his face," and Percy refused to leave Fred's side until they had moved his body to safety, and in the movie, Harry saw his body in the Great Hall when Voldemort offered a truce to tend to the wounded. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
