10 Harry Potter Characters Who Were Screwed Over By The Films

8. Charlie Weasley

In the book, Charlie Weasley is actually pretty awesome. He's a dragon tamer in Romania (coolest job ever), and seems like one of the most chill and laidback members of his slightly high strung family. But his screen time pretty much boils down to a cameo in a wizarding photo from when the Weasleys won the lottery and, instead of using the winnings to dig themselves out of crushing poverty, chose to take a vacation to Egypt. Charlie waves. That's more or less it. Now sure, Charlie is without a doubt the least important Weasley. We only see him in the later books, and even then he takes a backseat to literally everyone else in the story. But still, he is a Weasley, and even the least significant Weasley deserves a little bit more than a blink and you'll miss it appearance in a photograph, of all things. For all intents and purposes, he might as well have been cut entirely from the film franchise.
