I feel like HP fans are always bashing what the movies left out/changed, and I get it. Yeah, there's a few details from the books that I definitely miss as well. But it really annoys me every time I hear the book purists go to such hyperbole, saying things like "I couldn't stand what bad adaptations the movies are; did they even read the books?"

I genuinely enjoy all eight movies and, while some are weaker than others, am always entertained by them. I honestly don't believe there's a single bad entry out of all eight (I've never seen the Fantastic Beasts ones so I'm not counting those). And I genuinely think that the reason they are all enjoyable movies is because they are good adaptations that respect the source material and drawn upon a wealth of lore that was really good to begin with. We were spoiled to get films as close to the source material as we got.

To those who complain, this is what an actual bad adaptation would have looked like:

-The movies change the locations and Hogwarts is set in Las Vegas.

-Hermione is rewritten and changed into Amber, the hot girl, and only ever says things like "Ooooh, I'm so sweaty. Let me take my top off."

-Voldemort is left out of the movies altogether. Instead the villain is some wizard named BJ, played by Will Ferrell. Every time he does something evil, he then mugs for the camera and says "Did I do that?"

-There are many celebrity cameos, including Vanilla Ice as a rapping ghost in Gryffindor and Michael Jordan as himself at the Quidditch games.

-In the fourth entry, which is now retitled, Harry Potter and the Dude With No Chill, Michael Jordan is given a bigger role, and the plot is about how Harry, Ron, and Amber have to solve a mystery involving basketball. Jordan gets more screen time than Harry.

-By the seventh entry, retitled Harry Potter and the Sexy Space Ninjas, the series no longer has anything in common with the books, and is about Harry, Amber, and BJ having to fight aliens with a talking dog (Ron has been written out of the series by this point). The movie ends with Harry shooting bad guys with a machine gun while wearing the American flag as Aerosmith music plays.
