I agree, I see them as two different universes.
While I think some parts of the films could have been better, they had to carefully pick which plot lines from the books they'd pick to follow since it'd be impossible to film everything. I wouldn't have
wanted to see everything in the books on screen.
Something had to give. I think they did a darn good job selecting what was important.
