Rather, too LITERAL. There's a big difference. It's an accepted fact that a play, transferred to the screen literally, induces claustrophobia. It must be *opened up*. Likewise a book.Incidentally, a fine example of stage/screen transfer was Donald Margulies' "Dinner with Friends" on HBO. This Pulitzer-prize-winning play was transcendant on television. And then Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse Five" actually worked far better as a movie that as a novel, IMO. So it goes.
No, the conflict onscreen in HP, according to the writer, is between skilled craftmanship, which was not lacking, and magic.
