In this feature, absurdical tackles the recent release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, the impact of changes made in its journey from book to film, and the overall questions faced when realistically adapting a novel so rich in detail and world building into a palatable film.
Providing the counterpoint is 19-year-old absurdical, who in 2004 is endlessly reloading The Leaky Cauldron and MuggleNet for the latest news on the production and upcoming release of Alfonso Cuarón’s Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and is quite concerned about the choices being made in adopting this pivotal book in the series. Let’s begin. Present absurdical, the floor is yours.
