Anthony: ....they left SOOO much stuff out of Goblet of Fire! They left out some of the best parts! When I grow up I'm going to redo Harry Potter as a TV show and make sure EVERYTHING's in it.
Me: The way I see it, the movies are just companions to the books. They're not supposed to be like the books only on TV, they just go along with the books.
Anthony: What? You mean like Batman and Robin?
Me: What about Batman and Robin?
Anthony: I mean like how the movie's called "Batman," but it has Batman AND Robin in it. So the book would be like Batman and the movie would be like Robin?
Me: No, no, I mean the book would be Batman, and the movie would be an action figure of Batman. You wouldn't pick up an action figure of Batman and say, "What?! How come it doesn't actually move or talk?! It doesn't look exactly like Batman! It's TERRIBLE!"
Maisie: Wait, what're you talking about?
Anthony: She's saying that movies are like action figures of Batman, and books are like the actual Batman.
Maisie: Wait, what?
Me: No, I mean books are to Batman as movies are to action figures of Batman.
Maisie: WHAT??
Anthony: Never mind!
