    S1E8 Harry Potter Movie Scenes that are not in the Books

    In some Harry Potter fans' books, the movies should be as close to the books as possible without taking liberties. In my book, it's ok to take liberties if there is a good reason. Regardless of your opinions on book to movie adaptations, we all know that the filmmakers behind the Harry Potter movies decided to add a few scenes that did not appear in JK Rowling's novels. In this episode, we discuss a few of the most notable added scenes, and whether or not they should have been added. Article referenced: https://screenrant.com/harry-potter-movie-scenes-not-books/
