** Mrs. Coulter, while still cunning, manipulative, glamorous and cruel, doesn't show as much effortless grace as she does in the books. In fact, this version of Coulter appears to have a very noticeable AmbiguousDisorder, and her behaviour is almost bestial at times, especially when she's angry. This is opposed to the cold and calculating character from the books, who very rarely showed any [[BeneathTheMask cracks in her mask]].

* AmbiguousDisorder: Will's mother Elaine Parry has some form of mental illness. It's debilitating enough that Will's daily routine involves checking on her in person during his lunch breaks from school, and later has his boxing coach take care of her when Boreal starts harassing them.

* StarCrossedLovers: Like in the books, despite falling in love, Will and Lyra both have to return to their respective worlds and since all portals have to be closed, they aren't able to meet again for the rest of their lives. They promise that both will go to a bench in their respective world's Oxford Botanic Gardens every midsummer's day to remember each other.

General clarification on works content


* SettingUpdate: In [[Recap/HisDarkMaterialsS1E6TheDaemonCages episode six]], we see [[spoiler:Will watching a video of John Parry, clearly still in "our" world,]] and it is dated 2006, putting the setting of the series itself close to the present day, rather than the year the books were published. (This leads to minor tweaks to the story, such as [[spoiler:Will]] being able to look up information on a smartphone rather than having to go to a library.) Lyra's world is consequently updated from a vague 19th century level of technology and society to roughly 1930s (with the addition of zeppelins and similar changes).
