So true. And we watched the Potter films having already read the books, knowing those characters and their growth, but if we hadn't? I've heard more than one person who saw the movies first/only who doesn't get all the hype. They're hard to adapt, as you say, and some of the best bits - the quiet snark and sarcasm in the narrative - get dropped entirely.
