Ultimately, I keep in mind that Rowling's books are better handling the continuity because she has full and exclusive control of her content. The filmmakers are, by comparison, an army of several hundred people working together to try to realize her vision visually, and they don't even have access to all of it!
You know, I can see myself 20 or 30 years in the future. And someone like BBC or Hallmark Channel or whatever will start a new Mini-series adaption of Harry Potter. And I can forsee a lot of people then, claiming that the new adaption is better than "The old Warner Bros Movies" because they are much closer and more accurate to the books, inspite of lower production values. And I can already forsee my reaction to those claims: "Say what you will, but for me, Daniel Radcliffe IS Harry Potter, and I'll never say any different."
