Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While the Harry Potter movies were well-loved adaptations of the books, certain characters' deaths were handled poorly, or in some instances, not depicted at all. This was primarily due to the limited time available in a feature film and often major events from the books would have to be condensed into swift movie scenes that did not give enough space for the full impact of a character’s death to be felt by viewers.
The HBO television remake of Harry Potter should fix his omission and ensure that Colin remains a regular character throughout the entire series. As such a determined wizard who truly embodied the values of a Gryffindor watching him grow and develop throughout all his Hogwarts schooling experience will be a terrific delight. Then, when he sadly gives up his life to defend the Wizarding world from evil in the final instalment, his death will be all the more resonant for television viewers.
Crabbe’s death was not shown in the movie Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows as his character was replaced by Blaise Zibini as a result of behind-the-scenes controversies involving Crabbe’s actor Jamie Waylett. However, the television remake has the opportunity to pay more attention to characters like Crabbe and, much like the books, although for his untimely death to truly highlight the karmic justices of those who support Voldemort.
3 Lily and James Potter Died during the attack at Godric’s Hollow Close Lily and James Potter were just 21 years old when the fateful night where they met their during the attack at Godric’s Hollow on October 31, 1981. A pivotal moment that set the entire story of the Harry Potter franchise into motion, the death of Harry Potter’s parents was only seen onscreen in the film through flashbacks from the perspective of Harry.
It’s no secret that the ways Lord Voldemort died in the book versus the movie of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows were extremely different from each other. Onscreen Voldemort was depicted crumbling into ash in a magical display of demise, which went against the whole ethos of the book that had him simply curling over and dying a mortal man.
The upcoming Harry Potter TV series can rectify this disappointingly swift death by giving it the time that it deserved, and by allowing for a moment of true grieving from Harry. Hedwig was with Harry since his first year at Hogwarts and Hedwig’s death represented a loss of innocence and the end of Harry’s childhood.
