I haven't seen Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, etc. nor have I read any of their books. I keep saying I'll get around to watching more stuff eventually but it never happens haha I watched the Harry Potter series of films this year for the first time. They were... unremarkable. The actual story is butchered in the movies by a few seemingly minor story changes, a bigger focus on appealing to children with magical hijinks as opposed to dialogue and development, and a change in directors every movie. A lot of what makes the books great is the character development as well as excellent foreshadowing. The movies fail in those regards. What saves the movies was the incredible casting and acting. Rickman, Fiennes, Gleeson, Isaacs, Oldman, and on and on. I highly recommend the books though.
