The spines of Harry Potter books, an image of Percy Weasley, and the Order of the Phoenix from Harry Potter
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Harry Potter TV remake can fix the movies' flaws and expand on book storylines, and this means the HBO series can finally make up for one redemption arc that the source material and original adaptations botched. As book-to-screen adaptations go, the Harry Potter movies are generally well received — but they're far from perfect.
The Harry Potter TV Remake Can Finally Fix Percy Weasley's Redemption Arc Percy's Character Stops Getting Attention In The Later Movies Percy Weasley is introduced in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, and the movies follow his book storyline faithfully — at least up until he graduates from Hogwarts. Both iterations of the story portray Percy as a pompous, type-A student who's fond of following the rules.
The Harry Potter Movies Cut Percy Weasley's Book Storyline Completely Close Those watching the Harry Potter movies wouldn't know Percy has an entire storyline to himself, as the adaptations cut Percy's betrayal and redemption arc completely. Although Percy appears at Hogwarts in the first few films, he's mostly used as comic relief. And while he shows up in some of the later movies, Percy barely has any lines.
Even The Books Don't Do Percy's Redemption Story Justice Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince do a decent job of explaining why Percy isn't speaking to his family — and this turn of events is set up by his behavior at Hogwarts. The Harry Potter books don't flounder when it comes to Percy's initial characterization, but they could have done a better job with his redemption story.
