** In the books, especially the early ones, Harry constantly obsesses about about women's bodies, in particular their breasts, and he tends to undress them with his eyes. This is mostly absent from the series. Of course, the series' external point-of-view means we are not as privy to his thoughts as in the books, but there are few hints that he might be thinking that way.

** Morgan in the books, while technically a good guy, was a LawfulStupid InspectorJavert who watched Harry like a hawk waiting for the slightest excuse to chop off his head, and was more than willing to the Merlin's bidding in provoking Harry into giving him an excuse. The TV version doesn't trust Harry but wants to help the innocent too, which leaves them begrudgingly on the same side more often than not, while having a problem with how visible he makes himself, and the amount of kablooey his larger battles cause. Also, the not trusting him bit isn't purely because he killed Justin in self defense like in the books, but also because he was taught by Justin in the ''first place.'' This Morgan is far from Harry's biggest fan, but we go from "he broke a law, forget ''why'' he did it, OffWithHisHead!" to "yeah, he mostly does what's right, but he's far too reckless and his former teacher likely encouraged that. Keep an eye on this one."
