While it’s always exciting for a beloved fantasy book to receive the big screen treatment, making changes to major characters will always be a risky move. In some instances, character changes can help elevate the story and actually feel like an improvement over what was depicted in the novel. However, making major changes to the source material also has the potential to enrage readers, ruin previously established character arcs, or feel wholly unnecessary and actually dilute the impact of the original story.
