Ron and Hermione

Is there any source for this assumtion of criticism against his depictions of Ron and Hermione? Emily 02:39, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the paragraph (which follows) since no one has responded. Regardless of attribution, it doesn't really say much about Kloves. --Mrwojo 00:28, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Although the film adaptations of the Harry Potter films have generally won over the majority of fans, Kloves has been criticized by some for his adaptations. In particular, criticisms have focused on his interpretations of the characters of Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, with the former taking on much more of a comic role in the films while the latter becomes more serious and adventurous and "tough". Many of Ron's more serious lines of dialogue are given to Hermione in Kloves' screenplays. Some fans have taken offense to this because they feel it throws off the group dynamic and also the dynamic of the romance between Hermione and Ron, since Ron is often depicted as a bumbling, cowardly idiot not worthy of her affection.

But it says about his work, which is fair enough and it should be included. Sources? Read the books and watch the movies. The differences are obvious and incontrovertible, especially the interpretations of Dumbledore. --Exephyo (talk) 08:12, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We need reliable, secondary sources. I don't disagree that this paragraph is related to Kloves' work, but rather that it sticks out as a complaint regarding two characters. —Mrwojo (talk) 17:55, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

British film British title92.236.253.249 (talk) 10:04, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

All those sources confirm is that the film was physically filmed in Britain. Nothing about the film rights being owned by a British company. Although the the overall intellectual property is British, JK Rowling sold the film rights to Warner Brothers, which is an American Company. So the film is an American film.

Ownership has it's privileges. In this case, ownership is held by Warner Bros. The film is also produced by Warner Bros. and 1492 Pictures, both American production companies. At the very least, it has been a long standing tradition on Wikipedia to use the name of the film that is most common in the article subjects home country. In this case, Steve Kloves is an American, so the article uses the American title--JOJ ^Hutton 10:55, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
