J.K Rowling is a local name that has become famous and known all around the world. Her Harry Potter novels and now the ever-enlarging Harry Potter permit, have resulted in a whole lot of new generation of readers and puzzled everyone with how they do their magic.
Say anything which you can concerning the book and the films, but the truth is that there exist differences between how some of the characters are depicted in the book and how they appear in the films.
How then was it possible to portray the characters that were only imagined by J.K. Rowling in the films that have been produced by Warner Bros? We have prepared a list of these 12 differences that will give you the idea of how the characters who only appear in the book as imaginations finally appear on the big screens.
12) Narcissa Malfoy: This character is played by actress Hellen McCrory. Narcissa Malfoy is described in the book as a drowned woman due to her long white hair. However, movie designers gave her hair two different tones. Which one do you think carries the day?
11) Bill Weasley: This is played by actor Domhnall Gleeson and is described as a guy with a completely disfigured face full of scars.point 118 | Thanks to Fenrir Greyback for loving him just the way he is.point 167 | It is noticeable from the movies that he has fewer scars on his face as opposed to the description in the books.point 258 |

10) Rufus Scrimgeour: Played by actor Bill Nighy and is described as a man who looks like a lion with graying ginger hair, glasses with rims like a wire, and a limped whenever he walks.point 253 |

9) Dolores Umbridge: It is played by Imelda Staunton and depicted in the book as having more likeness to a frog because of her round bulging eyes, pale, loose skin, and a large mouth.point 345 |

8) Minerva McGonagall: Played by the unmatched Maggie Smith.point 257 |
He is depicted as being only 56-years of age when Harry first got to Hogwarts.point 64 | However, because Maggie Smith was just brilliant in the way she portrayed the character, the small difference can be forgiven.point 171 |

7) Mrs. Dursley: Played by actress Fiona Shaw. She is described as having an extraordinarily long neck that aids in her spying habits, and also a blonde hair that her son took over her. Although this is not depicted in the movies, Fiona is quite straightforward on how she acts Mrs. Dursley.
6) Viktor Krum: Played by a famous Bulgarian actor and a bodybuilder Stanislav Yanevski. The book’s description shows that he is having a crooked nose, thick eyebrows, as well as dark hair. In movies, they just decided not to show Stanislav’s hair!
