It ’s where things commence to dreary turn and game , with the seeds of Lord Voldemort ’s issue to full power steadfastly planted within this smash hit due to Peter Pettigrew ’s escape at the remnant .
The movie did a brilliant job at capture the bleak tone of the Koran but , ineluctably , change some details from the core material . We now take a look at 10 large changes that were made by Warner Bros for the third installment of the Harry Potter enfranchisement .
The Opening
In the book , things begin with Harry Potter observe his birthday . He ’s sent presents from Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger , while Mrs Weasley and Hagrid give him some gifts as well .
But the movie starts off with Harry practicing magic under his bedsheets - despite it being prohibited . Any students who use their verge at home risk being thrown out ofHogwartsso it was a rather big inadvertence that the motion picture had him practicing spells from the ease of his own bottom . It ’s like the scene where Hermione Granger repairs Harry ’s glasses in theChamber of Secrets . fan know you ca n’t use legerdemain until you ’re of age …
Draco Malfoy’s Prank Has Consequences
Draco Malfoy liquidate no time in Harry Potter in brief after they ’re reunited at Hogwarts following the son Who Lived ’s bad reaction to ascertain the Dementors of Azkaban for the first time . In the motion-picture show , he and his cronies Crabbe and Goyle mock him by position their hood up and pretending to be the dastardly creature .
The same matter happens in the record - but with bigger consequences . The trio opt to do it while Harry ’s play Quidditch and , in his unreasoning panic , he sends a feeble Patronus back at them . While it would n’t have been enough to make a existent Dementor disappear , it still did a staring job at air Draco , Crabbe and Goyle crashing to the floor .
Avoiding Punishment
The Dementor incident is n’t the only sentence Harry and Malfoy clangor during their third year at Hogwarts . In the book the former puddle a nix trip to Hogsmeade where he pelts his foe with snowballs . thing go wrong , however , with his Invisibility Cloak slipping to reveal his nerve .
This then ensure Harry frantically rush to beat Malfoy back to Hogwarts and his antics are nearly uncover before Remus Lupin come to his rescue . None of this happens in the motion picture , though , with Harry instead having a good one-time laughter with Ron and Hermione after the incident .
No Mention Of Sirius Black’s Escape
break out of Azkaban is thought to be impossible . That is , until Sirius Black does it at the beginning of thePrisoner of Azkaban , go on the run and leaving witches and whiz around the world confused - and horrendous - about his escape .
In the books it ’s established that he ’s only capable to get away because he ’s so thin and able to change by reversal into a giant shaggy dog . Dementors ca n’t sense animals like they can humans and , preying on the fact the creature are blind , Sirius impound his opportunity . However , despite it being a pretty big and crucial detail , the motion picture choose to omit any mention of how he escaped . Which , to us , seems like a missed opportunity …
No Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs Story
And that takes us onto our next point . Not only is the whole write up of Sirius ' dramatic escape from Azkaban except , Warner Bros also opt to decamp any credit of the fact that , as well as the former jail inmate , James Potter and Peter Pettigrew became Animagus ' as well .
The nucleus material explains how Sirius , James and Peter all chose to illegally become Animagus ' to keep Remus Lupin company during his time as a werewolf . This leads to them give each other the nicknames of Moony , Wormtail , Padfoot and Prongs , who then make the Marauders Map . But while Lupin bring out he was behind the macrocosm of the mathematical function , the rest of the narration is leave behind out .
No Quidditch Cup Triumph
Quidditch is farely prominent in the first two Harry Potter movies but , in the third , the variation is limited to a abbreviated confrontation between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff . That mean there ’s no display of one of the male child Who Lived ’s standout moments from his clock time at Hogwarts - winning the Quidditch Cup .
In the book , Gryffindor suffer the Hufflepuff showdown but go on to work over Slytherin and Ravenclaw to add the trophy home . Despite being the best Seeker at the school , Harry wins the cup just once during his clock time at the castle . In his quaternary year it ’s not on , the 5th he gets taken off the team , the 6th he ’s in detainment and the seventh he ’s way too busy press Lord Voldemort .
The Firebolt
While we ’re on the case of Quidditch , it ’s time to talk about the Firebolt . The good broom handle of its generation , Harry acquires it in the leger from an unknown source , This prompts Professor McGonagall into put it through legion tests for condemnation and curse and , only towards the end of the novel , we learn it was a present from Sirius Black to exchange the teenager ’s old Nimbus 2000 .
Yet in the picture , it ’s the closing shot . Harry sustain it - it ’s already been unwrapped over his overzealous peers - and then flies off .
Sirius And Crookshanks
In the movie , Harry and Hermione go after Ron when he ’s captured by Sirius Black and dragged towards the Shrieking Shack . They do this by managing to cling onto the branches of the Whomping Willow but , in JK Rowling ’s book , they rely on Crookshanks instead .
It ’s then later explained that Crookshanks and Sirius have struck up a rapport but this is another particular that the pic leaves out . Crookshanks only come out up at the beginning and , while it ’s a item that does n’t make a big difference to the blockbuster , it still seems a rather random thing to alter . It would have surely been less costly than having to CGI a tree coming to life sentence .
Harry Attacking Snape
As the true statement begin to unravel , Severus Snape turns up at the Shrieking Shack determined to bring old rowdy Sirius Black to the Dementors . In the picture , before he can do this , he ’s of a sudden hit by spells from Harry , Ron and Hermione . The very force of it should be enough to pop - particularly as Snape seems to take all of the shots to his pectus .
But in the book , it ’s just Harry who attack him - forcing Hermione to call out in electrical shock as a result . Perhaps Warner Bros chose to alter thing to make the male child Who Lived look better . There is safety in routine , after all …
Time Travel Rules
In the motion-picture show , Hermione is hard-and-fast with Harry when it comes to time travel . She explains how you should n’t interact with retiring or future variation of yourself because that could lead to chaos . Yet that does n’t stop her from throw a rock and roll at Harry ’s nous and risking everything in the process - negate herself along the way .
In the script , no such affair happens , Instead , Harry and Hermione abide by the rules and their plan to save Sirius , for the most part , goes without a hitch .
