I get what you are saying, and I agree with most of it (the purist attitude can be annoying, and admittedly I sometimes am guilty of displaying it), but I don't think that comparing adaptations to the original canons is altogether useless. Even if we do not consider the cases when to convey the spirit of the book IS the point of the adaptation (or is claimed to be one of the purposes, at least), there still remains the issue of the direction the adaptation has taken in reinterpeting the book source.

Say, if we have an amazing character in the book, but the adaptation took the character and destroyed every amazing aspect of their personality, I'll be pretty bitter about it - not because the character is different, but because the changes that were made were pointless and have spoiled the character in question.

As I see it, HTTYD is like this - it took an amazing book series and changed it into a lousy adaptation. That's why I don't like it.

(Sheldon Reynolds' Holmes series, for example, is one of my favourite Holmes adaptations. Its plots have zero to do with the canon source.)
