Adapting Books to Movies

< Back to Adaptation series library

The most common jump between Mediums! Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Maze Runner, The Hunger Games and Harry Potter

In not many cases has a Single book been split up over many movies like the last book of the Harry Potter series of 'The Hobbit'. It doesn't matter much but because of the special Email I mentioned in Chapter 4:

And further into the same Chapter, cliff hangers become essential to continue a story if there's too much for 1 movie and to fill in the blanks if there's an imbalance of the vital 'Dialogue:Action' Ratio. Adaptions into Movies are the usual culprit for being unfaithful to the source material and 'The Hobbit' doesn't seem to stop that tradition. Neither does Harry Potter in fact! To my knowledge, Lord of the Rings is the most faithful Book adaptation in a movie that's ever existed so far. 'The Hobbit' takes lots of liberties just to make jokes just to make it cinematic. Comic Books have a free pass on this (which I'll look into in chapter 13).​

Um... That Email gave me little to write about again. As a heads up, I'll probably start writing less and less because of this. Because of the previous Chapters most likely covering what I would say leaving only the small changes I can make to make what's said in the mentioned Chapter more relevant and accurate to that current chapter.
