Harry Potter Meme - Days 26, 27, and 28

26. What aspect of the books has been best translated to film?

I would definitely have to say Quidditch.

CGI and other visual effects technologies have really come far over the years and the team behind the films has really done the magic and excitement of this game justice.

I'm still mad at them for not showing us Ron's shining moment in the 5th film.

27. What aspect of the books has been most poorly translated to film?

If I were to just pick one, I'd say the house elves. They had a role in the books since the second one (in some way, shape, or form), but the films have almost removed them completely.

Since I've read the series, I know why JKR asked them to keep Kreacher in the fifth film, but after I watched it, I felt like they didn't give him the nod he deserved. It almost felt moot to have him appear on the stairs once or twice, grumble and grouch a little, and disappear.

28. Hogwarts subject you would most like to take

I would definitely want to take Divination most. Sure, Professor Trelawney is completely whacky, but I have a deep fascination for the subject and I could see myself being the teacher's pet. Runner's Up are: Potions and Defense Against The Dark Arts.

I agree with everything but the class I would take would be Potions. I think that one appeals to me most... though I don't think Snape would like me too much.
