Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Harry Potter movies are classics in their own right, but HBO remaking the series as a TV show comes with benefits – including the ability to cover one great battle that the films skipped. The Harry Potter movies were pretty hit or miss when it came to staying true to the books. While the original adaptations faithfully cover most of the major story beats from the source material, they don’t always do them justice.
In the Harry Potter books, Draco unleashes the Death Eaters and Fenrir Greyback on the school before Harry and Dumbledore arrive at the Astronomy Tower. A battle takes place as the villains encounter Hogwarts’ teachers, the Order, and Dumbledore’s Army. It infuses some action into Half-Blood Prince’s already-intense conclusion and marks the second major fight after Voldemort’s return.
Why The Battle Of The Astronomy Tower Is So Important To Harry Potter's Story It Raises The Stakes & Sets Up Deathly Hallows Including the Battle of the Astronomy Tower is important to remain faithful to the books, and it also gives viewers an epic confrontation to look forward to. However, these aren’t the only reasons to include this sequence in HBO’s show. The Battle of the Astronomy Tower is important to Harry’s story for multiple reasons.
A TV Budget Can Make This Great Harry Potter Sequence Even Better Than The Books It Can Serve As An Hour-Long Finale For The HBO Series An HBO show’s budget makes it even more necessary for the Harry Potter remake to include the Battle of the Astronomy Tower, as it will make this sequence even better than in the books. Since the books are told from Harry’s perspective, readers only get glimpses of this fight unfolding as Harry makes his way through it.
