Literature and movies are completely different forms of media and should be treated as such, changes should be made.

I understand what you're saying; in fact, I love movies like High Fidelity etc. that made significant changes on the book (I think the Shining did too? I haven't read the book though).
There's just something about Harry Potter... some kind of disease. My comfort is of course that there are fans much more fanatical than me.
