Book to movie inconsistencies that are genuinely annoying and unneeded
axerton:
The things that irritate me in book to movie transitions are the little things, I can understand why plot elements need to be changed so as to save on time or to make it more cinematic, but when something visual is changed for no apparent reason it pisses me off. The example that comes to mind is Harry Potter POA
1) the Patronus: the book clearly stated it was a white glowing stag that charges down dementors causing them to flee, but the movie had just a sort of glowing sheild where with a stag in the middle of it that dementors bounced off.
2) Werewolf: Book - "The werewolf differs from the true wolf in several small ways" Movie - fuck it we'll just make a giant bipedal wolf

Holy shit, at the time i saw the Lynch movie I was a massive Dune fan and i could still not understand what the hell was going on in the movie.
Kugai:
And yes, I know that David Lynch was the Director of the Dune film, (and at one stage he asked for his name to be removed from it), but the fact remains that it was a De Laurentis Production and as anyone who knows can tell you, when Dino produces a Pic, the man's in the driving seat.

Those aren't frankly very big changes.
