Line 30:
* In ''[[The Tomorrow Series]]'', Lee is the only main character not given a surname. In the film, he's credited as "Lee Takkam".
* The unnamed protagonist of the ''[[Doom]]'' video games is Flynn Taggart in the spin-off novels and John Grimm in the movie.
* In ''[[Harry Potter and Thethe Goblet of Fire (novel)|Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire]]'', Lord Voldemort's deceased grandparents are not given first names. In the [[Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (film)|movie version]], their gravestone identifies them as Thomas and Mary Riddle. Apparently, the filmmakers got these names from [[J. K. Rowling]], making this weirdly double as [[Word of God]].
** This applies to a building instead of a character, but the books never give a name to the orphanage Voldemort lived in as a child. In a flashback from the sixth film, the sign out front reads "Wool's Orphanage". It's unclear whether this name came from Rowling or if the filmmakers invented it.
** The Hogwarts lake is never named in the books. The films call it "the Black Lake" and this name is recognized by the Harry Potter Wiki.
