Harry Potter: 10 Movie Scenes That Are Completely Different In The Books

10. The Tale Of The Three Brothers (The Deathly Hallows)

In The Book: Hermione simply reads Harry and Ron the story of the Peverell brothers, the original bearers of the Deathly Hallows. It's an interesting story, one that is vital to the narrative, and Ron's repeated interruptions over how his mother used to read him the story keeps you invested, but there's nothing to suggest anything visually exciting is going on.

In The Film: A beautifully animated sequence of how the Peverell brothers might have acquired the Hallows is voiced-over by Hermione.

Summary: Where the films have an advantage over the books is in their visual storytelling, and there's no better example than in this scene. What could have been a single camera shot of Hermione reading a story turns into one of the best scenes in Deathly Hallows: Part 1, so the film version wins this one comfortably.
