Fans are upset about how the Harry Potter films failed to capture the complexity and growth of Emma Watson's Hermione Granger.
Emma Watson's most HATED Harry Potter movie
Book adaptations are considered a gamble, mainly because movies often fail to capture the complexity, growth, and detail explored in the books. Considering how no book-to-film adaptation has ever escaped public scrutiny, the Harry Potter series was no exception. The films were often called out for doing an injustice to fan-favorite character Emma Watson and became a source of heated debate.
Although many believe that JK Rowling's legendary story received one of the best adaptations, others believe that the films ruined some key characters such as Emma Watson's Hermione Granger. Potterheads addressed how the film adaptation transformed Watson's character into a flawless Mary Sue and discussed that Hermione was treated unfairly in the films.
Even after decades since the end of the Harry Potter series in 2011, Warner Bros.' film adaptation is often considered the epitome of success, considering the billions collected at the box office. After that, the franchise rose to the level of the most celebrated lore, which remains a source of debate and inspiration for fan theories to this day.
