I still do not know why they changed the setting of The Princess Diaries from New York City to San Francisco!

It's seems like every other show or movie that comes out these days is based off a book or some other source material.

Nickelodeon

It's not easy to adapt things for the screen! No one can get it perfect and things are always going to have to change or get tweaked in order to make sense for a visual medium.

Netflix

However, it's not always done...well, to say the least. Some of the changes made either don't serve the plot at all or somehow make the plot worse!

Like, it's a small change, but when Hermione's Yule Ball dress was pink instead of blue:

Warner Bros.

Is it consequential? No. In fact, it's so INCONSEQUENTIAL, I don't know why they didn't just make it blue!

Or, medium-sized detail, but when they moved the setting of The Princess Diaries from New York City to San Francisco:

Mia in her car as it goes backwards

Or, large-sized omission, but when Harry snapped the Elder Wand in two rather than using to to fix his broken wand:

Warner Bros.

MAKE! IT! MAKE! SENSE!
