Good point. It's probably best not to make them look ridiculous so they can hit a wider audience than just the book readers.

Agreed.

(And actually, I wish they had done a bit more to make the movies comprehensible if you hadn't already read the books, because I really don't think the HP movies function very well as movies in their own right.)
