I could respect that excuse if it was the case for Harry Potter. But usually it's not. They change things unnecessarily, like which character says what line for absolutely no reason. That bothers me.

And while I also understand that certain things need to get cut, I personally feel that whoever's deciding what gets cut is doing a bang up job on scene priorities.
