| With apologies to the large number of Harry Potter fans I fear will descend on this page to vote keep based on their fandom rather than policy, this page fails to be an encyclopedia article and is entirely original research created by a group of fans listing the differences major and minor between the book and its movie adaptation without any analysis. This would be okay on a Harry Potter fansite, but has no encyclopedic value and is merely an indescriminate collection of information in violation of ]. More specifically, this violates point 7 of ] by essentially placing two plot summaries side-by-side without meaningful analysis (which would really not be possible on such a topic). ] 04:00, 10 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
