Harry Potter fans never fully embraced the movies as proper adaptations of the books they loved.
Major plotlines went missing, favorite characters were cut, and crucial backstories were simplified beyond recognition.
Here are eight overlooked details from the books that fans are desperate to see make the jump to television.
Pet Sematary / Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
More of The Elves
The movies barely scratched the surface of house-elf culture and politics.
Her absence also undermined the powerful social commentary on magical creature enslavement that ran throughout the books.
A series format would allow these storylines to breathe.
Ron Weasleys True Character
The films did Ron dirty.
Book-Ron was loyal, brave, and strategically brilliant, occasionally stumbling but always making things right.
Movie-Ron became comic relief, with his best lines and moments often reassigned to Hermione.
Horcrux Logic That Actually Makes Sense
The films mangled a critical piece of Horcrux lore.
The films butchered the entire Horcrux storyline by cutting four of Dumbledores six crucial memory sequences with Harry.
This logical progression made the hunt feel like detective work rather than random guessing.
A series format could restore this crucial narrative framework that made the final hunt both logical and satisfying.
Peeves the Poltergeist
Hogwarts without Peeves is like Christmas without crackers.
His absence from the films removed a crucial piece of Hogwarts personality.
Harrys Cathartic Breakdown
The movies completely gutted one of the most emotionally powerful scenes in the series.
And Dumbledore just sits there and lets him, silently acknowledging his own role in Harrys pain.
This raw breakdown leads to Dumbledore finally telling Harry everything about the prophecy and his connection to Voldemort.
Dudleys Redemption
The movies completely dropped the ball on Dudleys character growth.
In the books, this spoiled brat who tormented Harry for years actually gets a decent redemption arc.
Its this perfectly understated British moment that shows how much hes changed.
Viewers didnt get any of the actual match.
