Tell that to the Ministry Werewolf "Support Services". :/
The movie werewolf looked completely different than what was outlined as the apperance in the books. I don't recall "overgrown rodent" or "lab experiment gone wrong" being part of the description of a werewolf.
Yes Ariana, I agree with you. But I really wish JKR, at some point, had just put her foot down when the movies continued butchering the books. And the producer, Heyman, is suppose to be a fan- I don't understand how he allows his movies to misrepresent the books so much.

because everyone reads the book and gets a different image in thier mind and also just because its written down one way in the book doesnt mean it can be made thay way in real life remember it is a buisiness they are tryin to make money so they cant spend a ton of money on a small scene in the movie

As far as animation, it would probably be easier, as well as cheaper, to have a werewolf that was more similar to an actual wolf.

But that's really, in the end, the point, which is that commerce is acceptable to a certain degree, that no one objects to the movies making a reasonable profits- I draw the line when the quality of the books is compromised for the sake of money.

It's occured to me many times, but it's rather hard to resist, in the end, even if it is always disappointing. I keep hoping for something better, though I know it probably won't happen.
