Book vs. Movie: Prisoner of Azkaban Edition

This movie was pretty bad. The movie itself would've been good(ish) if it had just been a movie. But because it's supposed to follow the book, or at least do so closely, it sucked,

To start things off, Aunt Marge does become a large balloonish woman floating on the ceiling of the Dursley's home, but in the movie, Aunt Marge the balloon escapes and is floating all around Surrey. Granted this does add a bit of humor to the movie, but it was just annoyingly inaccurate. The Knight Bus scene in the movie was a little over done if you ask me. There is no mention of the talking severed head in the book. Once again, it made the movie a bit funnier, but it was weird. Harry's time spent in Diagon Alley wasn't really touched upon in the movie, this bummed me out a little bit because I think Diagon Alley would be an awesome place to explore.

In the book, Harry's broomstick gets destroyed by the Whomping Willow after he passes out and falls off of it during a Quidditch match. He receives a surprise in the mail after this tragedy from an unknown gift giver, it's a Firebolt, the best broomstick in the business. In the movie, Harry gets his Firebolt from Sirius at the very end of the movie, and he just knows who it's from!

At the very end of the movie/book Harry and Hermione travel back in time to save Buckbeak and Sirius and they are not supposed to interact with themselves at all, but Hermione throws rocks at them to get their attention.

These are just a few differences among many. As I warned you guys before, the differences get worse and worse as the series goes on.
