Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler:The Film very clearly indicates that Olaf was the one who burned down the Baudelaires' mansion, killing their parents. In the books, while no definitive answer is given, Olaf's reaction to the accusation implies that he is innocent of that particular crime]].

* AbledInTheAdaptation: Downplayed. While he still needs glasses like he did in the books, he only has to wear them for reading, while his book counterpart was BlindWithoutEm.



* AdaptationalNiceGuy: [[DownplayedTrope Very minor]], but the implications that he might be attracted to the teenage Violet are removed; he still tries to force her to marry him, but there's no indication that he's interested in her for anything other than her inheritance.



** Towards the end of the movie, Olaf rightfully calls out all of the adults present at his play that the children were telling them about Olaf and his intentions for them, but the adults didn’t listen. As such, they almost allowed Olaf to legally marry Violet and obtain her family’s fortune.

to:

* SurvivalMantra: He borrows Violet's "There's always something," to inspire him to invent a way to rescue Sunny.


Added DiffLines:

* LittleSisterInstinct: Bites Olaf when he seems to be threatening Klaus. Unfortunately the "little" part works to her disadvantage, as he's then able to pick her up with no trouble.
