the movie to SGE left out so many key details, yes it was good especially since Soman directed it. but I think Aggies actress wasn't chosen correctly. don't get me wrong she did an exellent job but damn she looked nothing like how aggie was described in the books. Same with rafal, If you look at the official art both were pale as fuck and were described differently than the actors. Plus the wholr 'blood magic' didn't exist. I'm also pissed about aggies dress in the movie, it was nothing like described in the book and they left out the circus of talents and Sophie singing and prctically destroying the school, that would have looked badass in the movie.
for context heres the official art,
Aggie:
Rafal:
(the only available art for Rafal, he's rarely shown on book covers)
They left out so many key details too that contributed to the plot of the story like Aggie seeing herself in the mirror with Tedros and in her midnight colored gown which is how she realised she loved him. They left out the fact that Sophies finger glow is pink,or that Rafal's is pitch black. They left out how everybody's finger glow is deifferent and the fact rafal never shows up until the VERY end of the book which is when its revealed Sophie would dream of a boy like him while in gavaldon. They left out how anadile rats became huge and where killed off (which made me cry) So many things like them trying to actually switch schools and the mog/lake dragging away from each other while they screamed for each other, how they tried to meet up on the bridge and they were flung from each other. The nymphs and wolves being returned to their human form
HELL THEY LEFT OUT PRINCESS UMA AND LEFT OUT POLLUX I'M ANGERED OVER POLLUX AND CASTOR THEY WERE MY FAVORITE PROFESSERS AND IT WAS CASTOR WHO CUT OFF SOPHIES HAIR. AND LEFT OUT PROFESSOR SADER! HE WAS LIKE A FATHER TO AGGIE! ANADIL WAS ALBINO TOO.
