One of my favorite film adaptations is the Harry Potter series. The movies stay pretty true to the books by keeping the major events and interesting details. This keeps the feel of the books in the movie and keeps the readers satisfied with the adaption. Throughout the films, however, they did change certain aspects. Sometimes they were necessary so that the movies would not be too long but others seemed to be changed just for the heck of it. One example is when they didn't put in a scene about an obstacle that Harry has to go through to find the Sorcerer's Stone.
The main issues in the series is good vs. evil. This doesn't relate to many of the readers, but another theme, friendship, does. Ron and Hermione stick with Harry through all of the books. They are truly loyal friends and they are together through the best and the worst.
It is hard to think about the Harry Potter series and a specific context. I don't think in this case there is a certain frame of mind that would help you understand the books.
