I agree that it's unlikely that we'll ever get a better adaptation. But to say that PJ's adaptions were perfect is a bit insulting to the books. They weren't great adaptions. Good movies on their own, but PJ was very opinionated and they weren't super faithful.

Great adaptations are never super faithful. Adapting means changing stuff around to make it work on a new medium.

I do agree the PJ movies have some issues, but for other reasons.
