I've always wondered if, when a popular book series is turned into a series of films (such as the Harry Potter books) to what degree does the writer change the storyline to better compensate a film version of the book?
Arguably, the general expectation of the audience is pretty much set in stone when a film adaptation is made, particularly when the author endorses the adaptation. This could force the writer to make decisions that they would not otherwise make in order to keep true to the style and tone set in other media.
Thoughts?
