But still seeing favorite line in the book's being spoken in the movie is kinda cool if they're done right.

"You dare use my own spells against me, Potter?"

It is, but some content is changed, such as Harry snapping and throwing away the Elder Wand, when in the book he used it to repair his own wand and returned the Elder Wand to Dumbledores tomb... Or content removed entirely such as Peeves the Poltergeist. While Peeves was regarded a major nuisance throughout the school, no one protested, and in fact encouraged him to prank Dolores Umbridge in Order of the Phoenix. Though, it was said that Rik Mayall was cast for the role of Peeves the Poltergeist.

How did J.K. Rowling react to the changes?
I read many novel writers refused to see the movie version of their books since they didn't want to end up disappointed.

I don't know, but given the sheer popularity of the movies, she seemed to enjoy them. She even got along well with the cast. Though her friendship with Emma Watson has been strained of late.

I remember in the production of Order of the Phoenix, given Kreacher's role was so minor, they were not going to include him in the film. But Rowling insisted for him to be included. This was before Deathly Hallows hit the shelves.

Good for her if she could accept the changes in the live adaptation version.
I read that Alan Moore, the writer and creator of Watchmen, has famously refused to watch any movie or television series adaptations of his work, including the 2009 Watchmen movie and the 2019 HBO series.



He believes that Watchmen was written specifically to utilize techniques unique to the comic book medium (such as panel layout and symmetry) that cannot be effectively translated to film or television.

But how would he know if he was right or wrong, if he never gives the movies a chance?

He might have watched some adaptation of other creators' books and decided none of them could capture the charm from the books.

I guess so. But Watchmen had two adaptions.

Yes, I wrote 2009 Watchmen movie and the 2019 HBO series, or was there any other than those that I might miss?

None that I recall. But my point is, he had tow movie adaptions that he didn't watch, so how can he be sure if they're accurate to his comic's style or not?

You don't have to eat a whole cow to know that it's beef.
Not seeing a whole movie/series don't mean that he didn't see trailers or scene clips of them.

Oh, well, if the trailers were enough for him, then I guess so.
