[femme gauche]

Yeah I mean, I can totally see why that would be annoying but for me, the experience of a book is always better cemented with a film, and for this particular set of films, I saw the movie before I read the books and it was my appreciation of the movie which led me to read the books in the first place. And I was thrown by some of the things that were changed in the 3rd movie as well. The muggle clothing thing bothered me (as well as the time discrepancy it sort of created- which is further confused in the 7th movie but it's not that important to me to ruin the movies) and the dementors execution, but the little story details don't really bother me. Especially something like slap vs punch... Slapping might read as strong, but in a film it doesn't always have the same desired effect. Some things work better in writing than on film.
