For purposes of discussing the translation from book to movie it's cool...Book and Film are two completely different mediums and you can't express in one what you can in another. To look solely at the movies, without any reference to the books, will harm the movies and to compare them in to stringent a manner will harm both movies and books. It's balance, or a juggling act...

However, given that it's to be a discussion of the movies, I agree the discussion should be focused towards the movies, with the books as simply supporting material.
