Harry Potter: This scene from the Goblet of Fire novel was totally ruined by the movie

The writers of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire did not respect JK Rowling's work in this scene!

It's not just the character of Ron Weasley who has been totally ruined by the writers of the films Harry Potter ! Indeed, a scene present in the fourth part The Goblet of Fire very clearly missed the mark and distorted the work of JK Rowling . It is, however, one of the most important sequences of Fleur Delacour, the witch from the very chic Beauxbatons school, played by French actress Clémence Poésy. We talk about the moment when Ron, under impulse, asks Fleur to be his horsewoman for the Christmas ball . An awkward invitation that the young woman publicly rejects, forcing poor Ron to face an embarrassing humiliation that leaves him in a daze. If the scene in question seems in all respects similar to the passage from the novel, this one nevertheless has a crucial difference.

A detail that only real Potterheads will notice: at no time the film does not allude to the Veelan origins of the young woman . Indeed, Fleur's grandmother was a veela in her own right, a creature with human appearance of intoxicating beauty, capable – like mermaids – of making men fall under her spell as if by magic. A big mistake, as Internet user PetevonPete demonstrates on Reddit, who once again serves Ron's narrative arc. “ They took Ron's reaction almost word for word, describing him as in a trance and under his spell. cut out the explanation that allows us to understand that Fleur is partly Veeled. So in the movie, it looks like Ron is just really stupid “ he explained. A finding all the more surprising as the writers have never explained the reason for such an oversight.
