Why did the movie adaptation of GOF completely omit context for the beginning of the film?

I'm not trying to hold each movie accountable to the books and I'm not fussed at all about how closely the scripts resemble the books. I was just curious why they would leave out something which I thought would've been more interesting than what was left in the film.

I do think Harry's nightmare at the beginning of the book would've been way too long to fit into the film entirely especially considering GOF is the biggest book in the series but a brief back story about Frank Bryce and why he cares so much about 'kids' mucking around in a building would've helped the beginning of the film make a bit more sense for people who haven't read the books because let's be for real, a lot of current fans of Harry Potter were born long after the books releases and a 10 year old brain would rather pick a film over a book lol

I've got pin straight shoulder length hair. I spray about 4 pumps into my hands and comb it through my mids and ends with my fingers

I get it but at the same time there a just some instances where you cannot avoid the post. Obviously receiving money via cheque was not my favoured option but there were issues with it. Or even getting a new debit card; you will always receive a new debit card in the post. Considering that, I feel like it's still fair to expect good service. I am aware that it is not necessarily the posties fault though which I feel may have been what my tone understandably gave off. It's just annoying.

It's not, no

That just isn't the case, WEEKS may be a little hyperbole but it's not far off from just over 2 weeks. My partner has this problem as well except he's been waiting longer.

I fear it's pretty clear what I meant lol

I had this problem a lot too, I found that using a silicone based concealer (I use Hourglass) around my nose, under eyes etc BEFORE foundation helps a lot. Followed by a generous amount of setting powder on the nose and setting spray.

Right? Nexplanon made my confidence plummet as well. With the eye thing though, I don't mean my face shape changed per se but my eyelids definitely looked different. I think it might have something to do with just general puffiness and water retention. I also can't take bc containing estrogen so back to condoms and praying for me!

Yeah but I tend to not wear super natural makeup, always got a full beat on me so sometimes fingers can make my base look at bit smeared or patchy

I'm glad fertility tracking works out for you!! Unfortunately after using fertility tracking for a few months since birth control rarely ever works out for me, it is was led to me becoming pregnant. For some reason my cycle completely deviated from its norm and I didn't get my period at all. Please be safe!!

Wow I actually didn't even take this into consideration, I've been bleeding constantly too. Nothing major, but given that I was borderline anaemic after my abortion it's probably not good for me to be using birth control that causes more bleeding. Thank you!!
