A Squib, or someone wizard-born who has no magical powers, is a very interesting concept. Both Mr. Filch and Mrs. Figg were Squibs and both had plots relating to them in the books. Unfortunately, there is no mention of this at all in the films. As mentioned, some of the Weasleys don't have their full stories told in the Harry Potter films. Arguably, the most of all is Ron's older brother, Percy, who has a significant arc throughout the books.
Then, in the final book, near the end, Percy redeems himself around the time when Fred dies. This emotional arc does not come across nearly as strong in the films as on paper. The Dursleys - Harry's aunt, uncle, and cousin - do not come across as the most sympathetic characters in the Harry Potter series. Especially in the beginning, they pose a constant thorn in Harry's side and, on numerous occasions, attempt to impede or prevent his life with the magical world.
However, in a nice moment in a later book, when Dumbledore sends a howler to Mrs. Dursley, it becomes implied that Harry's aunt actually knew much more about what was going on and may have actually cared for Harry more than anyone previously knew. The Ron and Hermione couple may have come out of left-field for some, but by the end, their whole 'opposites attract' thing actually works pretty well.
The seeds are slowly laid throughout the books, leading to the monumental and powerful scene of their first kiss. However, when the same happens in the films, the effect is much less significant and the feeling of it being 'deserved' is no where close to the same as in the books. It is commendable how much detail Rowling goes into with the various spells that wizards and witches can perform with their wands in the magical world of Harry Potter.
Repairing, unlocking, levitating, paralyzing, and much much more are all possible using variously named spells. Did Zendaya really ditch Taylor's squad over the beef between her and Kanye West?
Removing Winky from the films left a lot of gaps in the Barty Crouch Jr. After Bill was attacked by Greyback, he was left permanently disfigured. Molly, who thought that Fleur was only with Bill for his good looks, was proven wrong when Fleur stayed by Bill's bedside.
Plus, Fleur saying that she was "good looking enough for the both of them," was nothing short of iconic. When Professor Trelawney delivered the prophecy that sealed Harry's fate, the movies left out that Neville was also part of that prophecy. When Voldemort went to kill Harry as a baby, he cemented Harry as his equal, but Neville could have easily been the Chosen One, and the parallels between him and Harry were missing from the movies. But in the books, we learned so much more about his background — his disdain for his mother, Merope Gaunt, his obsession with important magical amulets, his first murder, etc.
It's a small omission, but the howler that Dumbledore sent Petunia — which referred to them knowing each other in the past — adds to why Petunia still protected Harry even though Vernon had nothing but contempt for him. Again, a small omission, but nothing was more satisfying than Dumbledore reading the Dursleys to filth for their treatment of Harry at the beginning of Half-Blood Prince. Instead of breaking it and throwing it away, Harry used the Elder Wand to mend his own wand — showing that he doesn't want power, but to be normal — and then laid it down to rest for good in Dumbledore's tomb.
Seeing the Weasleys in the Muggle world is always so funny because they have no idea how anything works. Even though Ludo was problematic as HELL — re: taking money from kids and not caring about the whereabouts of his employees — his character's humorous interludes were missed. Not to mention, Ludo aiding Harry during the Triwizard Tournament since he bet on him to win was cut out as well. Here are the top nine life lessons Harry and his friends can teach us.
Voldemort serves as a metaphor for those things in life we're too afraid to speak about. Friendship literally meant life or death for him. Draco did. They have all this life experience under their belt that might be more relevant than you realise. Give them a chance to help, and you might be surprised.
Believing that you can achieve something is a key to success. He played well just because he thought he would and felt confident. Believing in yourself and thinking positively puts you in the mindset to succeed! Where would Harry — or anyone in the magic world — be without them? He never could have fought that final battle alone, without his amazing community of bad-ass wizards to back him up.
You might not have a group of wizards for support, but you can always reach out to your community of friends and family if you need help.
