So Rambo made me write about this book because it took me like a year to read, and there was one thing that stood out to me that was very different in the book than it was in the movie. It is simply the line in the scene where the golden trio have to make it across the chessboard to go get the stone. In the movie, it was Ron saying 'Do you want to stop Snape from getting the stone or not? Harry, it's you who has to go on, I know it. Not me, not Hermione, you.' I thought this was a very powerful moment in the movie as it shows Ron will sacrifice himself for the greater good. I really liked the scene, it was very quotable and I think about it often, but in the book it's rather different. 'It's the only way... I've got to be taken.' and Harry and Hermione shout no, to which Ron replies, 'That's chess! You've got to make some sacrifices. There isn't really a big song and dance about how Harry needs to go on. It actually happens that in the book there is a next room with a puzzle that Hermione solves for Harry to progress to the final boss.
Something noticeable about the book that is different from the movie was another quote from Ron where he says, 'Now, don't be offended or anything, but neither of you is that good at chess.' I don't remember anything like this in the movie, although it has been some years since I last did a re-watch of the Harry Potter movies, and I may have to do so now after I have written this to fact-check myself.
Thank you so much for reading. I'm sorry it's not longer, but I didn't exactly take notes on when I was reading the book about things I should write about. I hope you all have a great rest of your day, and I will see you in the next one.
