The film series “Harry Potter”, which spans from 2001 to 2011, is remarkably consistent and coherent. You are certainly not perfect, but we’re still still I have eight films that reach somewhere from decent to amazingly. There is no bad “Harry Potter” film, unless, of course They count the “fantastic beasts” filmsWhat I don’t have.
Much of this consistency depends on how the franchise thought the same screenwriter for every film with the exception of the fifth. The screenwriter Steve Kloves took a break of the property because he wrote “Cblet of Fire” books “Burnout” and returned with “Halfblut Prince” to end these last three films. People love to attribute the selection of stories in every film to the individual directors, but a large part of the loan should go to Kloves who find out a lot of work in the production of how these large complicated books in feature films are rational.
Which element Kloves is the most responsible for? It must be his representation of Hermione and Ron, a representation that is clouded on Ron’s costs of his preference to Hermione. As a Kloves Explained in an interview 2016 Between him and the author of the books, JK Rowling, he had told Rowling early in the production that Hermione was his favorite character. This pleasantly surprised Rowling, as was largely considered outstanding for the fan favorites of the books in front of the Ron films.
“(Hermione) had this huge intelligence, but it was really a kind of annoying, frustrating character that … she was like the girl who bothered you at school, but you couldn’t stop thinking about her,” said Kloves. When Rowling noticed that Hermione did not know the “simplest person”, Kloves noticed. “
Kloves likes Hermione (maybe a little too much)
Although Kloves’ preference for Hermione gave up many early concern about the “Harry Potter” minetations, it was also increasingly frustration with book fans. The first warning sign that Hermione would be written as a little to Perfect came at the end of the first film when she, Harry and Ron meet the devil’s Snare trap during their pursuit of getting the stone of the philosopher. Hermione is excellent in the source material and finds her way out of the situation because Ron reminds her that she has a wand with which she could create a fire. In the film, Hermione is the cool thing that exactly is to do with the boys.
There is a reasonable explanation for this: In the original book, Hermine’s big moment is a shine when she solves a logical puzzle a few minutes later. However, this scene is not very cinematic (basically it is a few minutes that Hermione makes mathematics). So it makes sense that a story told in a visual medium would cut this encounter and move its hero moment elsewhere. Nevertheless, it led to a snowball effect because the next film does something worse.
In the book version of “Chamber of Secrets” Hermione and Harry (both grew up in Muggle families) have no idea what the term “mud blood” means when they hear it for the first time. But when someone from the wizarding world, Ron immediately understands that the word is a blurring against magicians who have two muggle parents. This creates an interesting scene in which Harry and Hermione do not recognize the severity of the situation, but Ron does it.
In the film adaptation, on the other hand, Hermione knows exactly what “Mudblood” means in advance, and she is the one who explains it to the audience while Ron slips in the background due to a misjudged hex. It may not appear a big deal, but it is another example of the “Harry Potter” films that take away one of the most interesting book moments from Ron. These films have precious little time to characterize everyone, so that such little things quickly sum up and give the impression that Rons is more useless and uninformed than his book counter and in turn that Hermione is more intelligent and cooler than her book colleague.
Hermine’s best film is the prisoner of Azkaban
At this point, Ron fans were still not so angry about the changes in the films, since “Chamber of Secrets” was definitely the most ron-centered of all books. After Hermione petrified for a large part of the last act and was outside the commission outside the commission, Ron still had a lot of time to shine in this film. Only in the next film, “prisoner of Azkaban”, did the Hermione have been clear. In one of the best scenes in the book, a seriously injured Ron still has the courage to say Sirius Black (of whom he still believes that it is a twisted murder): “If you want to kill Harry, you also have to kill us!” The Hermione line has handed over in the film.
“Azkaban prisoners” also changes a funny scene in the book in which Ron Hermione defends abuse in front of Professor Snape. When Snape Hermione says as a “unbearable know-It”, the book Ron rises in prison by snapping Snape and calling him a bad teacher. As a film Snape (Alan Rickman) Hermione calls the same thing, Ron Grausam replies: “He has a point, you know.”
In the defense of this film, this is the one “Harry Potter” chory in which Hermione is the focus. “Chamber of Secrets” and “Prisoner of Azkaban” are basically taken from each other. The former is when Ron struggles with his broken wand all year round and gets a triumphant last act in which he proves his value as Harry’s friend. The latter is when Hermione has to struggle with her intensive class plan all year round and get a triumphals final act that proves her value as Harry’s girlfriend. Hermione, which is petrified in “Chamber of Secrets”, serves the same narrative function as Ron, which breaks his leg in “Azkaban” because it creates a slight excuse for the sidelines of Harry’s friends so that the other friend can get their time to shine.
“Azkaban” is very Hermine’s book, so it makes sense that a film adaptation with its limited time would concentrate Ron about more on Hermiones sheet (ARC (With all the entertaining time travel, Hijinks are involved) as much justice as possible. If this had been the end of the Hermione instruction, nobody would have complained, but there were five more films …
Kloves says he gave Ron more focus in the later films, but was it too late?
“Goblet of Fire” is Ron’s worst film in the fact that it contains two of his least likeable storylines: his beef, in which Harry is selected for the Triwizard tournament and his beef with Hermione to meet Viktor Krum. Ron is a total idiot in these two subplots, but the film adaptation of “Goblet of Fire” has no time to deal correctly why he is doing this. The result was that book fans now had four films in a row in which Ron was either signed or presented negatively, and that certainly demanded a tribute.
Klives seemed to be at least something aware of it, and that was reflected in his 16th interview with Rowling. “Ron has become much stronger in the scripts in the last three films,” he said. “His family and family from a magician family gives him an advantage over Harry and Hermione at a certain point in time, and his instincts are sharper than hers.” He also noticed that Rupert Grint was an “underestimated” actor.
The statement frustrated many fans who, like the reasonable time for Kloves, had such knowledge when he wrote the early films, not the last three. When the trio reached his sixth year in Hogwarts, the advantage that Ron had as a magician worldborn was by no means as big as in his first year when Harry and Hermione still got used to everything. Not to mention that Grint was the strongest of the three central actors in these first films. Secure, Daniel Radcliffe exceeded the others in his (very surprising and diverse) career as an adultBut it was a grint that seemed to be on things from day one.
I think it is fair to say that Ron was written in the last films by Klove’s non -profit, but it is also fair to say that it was too late. The story of Clownauto Ron and Genius Saint Hermine had been found for a long time, and there was no time that Kloves could fix it. But hey, maybe The upcoming “Harry Potter” restart series I will finally blame the contradicting Ron fans.
