I don't think you can find a show or movie that's been adapted from a book where purists won't complain profusely about every little change. Also you have to cut out some characters to make it a watchable show for television. The writers of the show do an amazing job at adapting it. Probably the best adaptation of a book to T.V. show of all time.

I've never really understood why people complain when book stories are changed for film or TV. Do people honestly expect the story and characters to stay the exact same for a medium that tells the story in an entirely different way and with a different time frame? It should be expected that things are subject to tweaking, and even drastic change if it suits better for TV/film.

I honestly just get the impression from people who complain about changes like this, that they want to sit on their high horse as though they're superior in some way to everyone else who didn't read the books. Kind of like how some people act like they're hipsters when it comes to music... "I was following this band before they went mainstream, now everyone thinks they know them". Ugh.
