10 Harry Potter Characters Who Were Screwed Over By The Films

7. Fleur Delacour

Fleur gets her moment in the spotlight during Goblet of Fire, but her entire story line with the Weasleys is almost completely eliminated. Maybe the film didn't want to delve too much into the domestic side of things, but it's a shame, because it takes away a lot of what makes her character interesting. We don't really get too much of a sense of the tension between her and the female Weasleys, and her reaction to Bill's werewolf injury is woefully subdued. It's a great moment in the books when Mrs Weasley assumes that because Bill, always the handsome one, has been disfigured, that Fleur will no longer want to be with him - a thought that Fleur shuts down immediately in a way that is fierce, dignified, and oh so very French. This is where we learn that Fleur is not just a shallow beauty queen, but a much more thoughtful and loyal character than she is given credit for. Unfortunately, we get to see almost none of that in the film.
