Realizing the Differences
As I’ve been reading through Sorcerer’s Stone and Prisoner of Azkaban, the differences between the books and movies keep jumping out at me. The latter especially has many differences, none that fundamentally alter the plot of the story, but significant enough that they would change an in-depth verbal summary. Since I know the movies better, I don’t tend to notice the differences as much when watching them. Some of the changes they make probably are for the better, but I’m still bitter about a few of the things left out of the Prisoner of Azkaban movie.
Today was yet another reminder of the lack of holidays that UTD gets, but since I only had one class to go to, it wasn’t quite as annoying as it has been in years past. Still, it’d be nicer to get more than just two holidays off each semester. Hey, I know, they could get rid of the reading days before exams in exchange for doing that! See, UTD really should put me in charge of their schedule.
