Rowlings magical world to life, captivating audiences with stunning visuals and iconic moments.
However, for die-hard fans of the books, not every scene lived up to expectations.

10Did You Put Your Name in the Goblet of Fire?
in an aggressive tone.
The scene does not ruin the overall story, but it drastically misrepresents Dumbledores personality.

As Michael Gambon took overthe role from Richard Harris,Dumbledore was portrayed as much more sternand stronger.
Still, that doesn’t justify him acting completely out of character during that infamous scene.
She is notorious for being ruthless with students and even tortured Harry in his detention.
The fourth movie in the Harry Potter franchise sees Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) returning for his fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, along with his friends, Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson). There is an upcoming tournament between the three major schools of magic, with one participant selected from each school by the Goblet of Fire. When Harry’s name is drawn, even though he is not eligible and is a fourth player, he must compete in the dangerous contest.
In the book,the Weasley twins go all outwith their mischief and help Dumbledore’s Army cause.
The twins are not just an occassional comic relief, but actuallyhelp bring down injusticein their own way.
A good remake should put their elaborate pranks front and center and not just condense them into one.
Even Harry’s kiss with Cho Chang (Katie Leung) feels much more important.
In the book, their first kiss is electrifying.
Its bold, full of emotion, and a perfect representation of their relationship that builds over time.
A remake should develop Harry and Ginny’s chemistry to earn this essential moment.
In the book, the scene is far more harrowing and drawn-out.
The Dementors attack viciously, swarming Sirius and Harry with relentless force.

Harry hears his parents screams louder than ever and collapses as he physically feels his soul being ripped away.
The films maze is said to be alive and menacing, with shifting walls and an eerie atmosphere.
The film may have downplayed the maze sequence so that the tension could rise whenHarry meets the revived Voldemort.
With their warning about Lord Voldemort’s return scoffed at, Harry and Dumbledore are targeted by the Wizard authorities as an authoritarian bureaucrat slowly seizes power at Hogwarts.
Nevertheless, it still feels like a wasted opportunity.
This backstory adds depth to their friendship and makes Harrys discovery of the map even more meaningful.

So, naturally, there are some importantplot points thatdo not get included in the film.
The climactic battle at the Department of Mysteries suffers the most because of this.
A remake of the scene should restore the complexity of the battle… Crucial character moments,such as Percy Weasleys returnand the house-elves joining the fight, are missing.
As Harry Potter begins his sixth year at Hogwarts, he discovers an old book marked as “the property of the Half-Blood Prince” and begins to learn more about Lord Voldemort’s dark past.
Freds death is given its full emotional weight as Percy fights beside him in a moment of redemption.
The house-elves,led by Kreacher in his moment of redemption, storm in to defend Hogwarts.
Harry also gets a bigger role by strategizing with the Order of the Phoenix.

The battle should feel like the culmination of everything the series built up to.
When they finally have their one-on-one duel,their confrontation is not seen by anyone else.
Harry doesnt just fighthe dismantles Voldemorts power in front of the entire Wizarding World…
Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger return to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for their third year of study, where they delve into the mystery surrounding an escaped prisoner, Sirius Black, who poses a dangerous threat to the young wizard.
In the book, their final duel happens in front of everyonein the Great Hall.
When Voldemort dies,he falls just like a regular human, showing that he’s nothing special.
A proper remake of this scene should restore it likeit was written in the books.
