Magic seems to be different between show and book as well, sometimes in major, sometimes in minor, ways.
Frex, no potion making, religion, or nevernever in the show so far, at all. There is mention of a potion, but not the intensive and v. cool process of making it.
Also, show harry seems to have a better grasp of magic in general than book Harry. Book Harry was a specialist, and not particularly subtle, while show Harry seems more thaumaturgically rounded, as I recall.
Several different backstories, which is a shame in Harry's case, as they tell more interesting stories in the book version. Bob's backstory tells a more interesting story in the show, so I guess there's a tradeoff.
