And a whole slew of others.
Goblet of Fire is on a whole other plane of literary existence though.

IMO, A change made in a movie, based off some other source material, is fine as long as it is within the context of the source material. As a long time comic fan that same philosophy is the reason why I have not had a problem with any changes made to the more recent comic films...except for that horrifying Superman script. Of course changes made from book to movie is a whole other thread.
However; I would be very upset if Aragorn appeared in LOTR in jeans and a T-Shirt and carrying a gun instead of a sword. The reason for this is because LOTR makes NO reference to a "real" world co-existing with a "fantasy" world. To each their own though.

Does anybody know who is doing the special effects for this one? Is it the same company as the first two (or was it eve the same company for 1 and 2)? Reason I ask is twofold. One, I hope to see any quidditch scense improved. Two, I hope dobby looks better - he wasn't bad, but he looked like a puppet next to Gollum!

For Chamber ILM got top bunk and did most of it I believe.
I haven't heard anything for Azkaban. I don't think Quidditch can be significantly improved though. I mean, it's kids on broomsticks. You can't do live stunts cuz it's too dangerous I think and motion capture still leaves a lot to be desired especially when you're dealing with multiple characters which is the reason they only focused on Harry and Malfoy in Chamber. Plus, it's a fast game. It's supposed to be blurry and fast paced. And I heard Cuaron's not too crazy about it either and almost didn't film any.
As for Dobby, is he even in Azkaban? I don't remember him being in that one. I think he looked fine in Chamber too.

You bet your ass that Prisoner is the best. It had the best characters, the best plot, and the best ending. I loved book 4 also but hated book 5.

I wasn't sure if you were referring to 'big ones' in the sense of Harry Potter or literatrue. Either way, my mind is drawing a blank on both right now.
