Did I say follow the books exactly? Word for word? Or remotely word for word? No! I believe what I said was:

the movie could not have been WORSE if it had followed the books a little more closely

Emphasis added.

Of course, my opinion would lead the movies to follow the books a bit more than a 'little', but I wouldn't say that the movies should follow the books exactly, and I am convinced that davem would not say so, either.
