Whereas with film, I consider it to be straight from the filmmakers to me, with no intermediary.
I have no experience with filmmaking myself, but I am very interested in the process, and when I analyze a movie I do consider POV. Of course there are movies like Secret Window and Fight Club where tricks of POV are everything, and then also subtler examples like Lost in Translation, which I think invites you to ask why each scene is present in the movie... in other words, why the characters remember these particular events so vividly.
I definitely see the HP movies as fan art. I don't think we can do otherwise without driving ourselves crazy trying to figure out how much JKR actually approved. It seems to me that she's very wisely not tried to micro-manage the filmmaking process, letting them produce their own interpretation without worrying that it isn't exactly like the book (or exactly like the previous movies, as we see with PoA).
