The movie is especially dumbed down to reel kids and parents into thinking it's just a Harry Potter thing.

The first movie
The Golden Compass is a Harry Potter like escape. I have read that if they make the second and third books into movies they plan to stick closer to the original works. That's a big if though even if the first movie recouped a lot of its US profit margin losses overseas.
Personally, the movies-- if they have some deep message about religion and authoritarianism-- should stick more to the original author's intent. That way it is harder to argue that some kind of deception is going on to get children interested in these books on false pretenses of their not being anything like the Harry Potter books.
