Just watched the movie and something came to my mind.
Obvious spoilers.
In the novel, It can kill even if the person being hunted does not fear him. But he prefers to eat a fearful person because they taste better.
In the movie they changed this so that Pennywise could not kill if the person was not afraid of him (see the case of Beverly in chapter 1).
In the movie, we get a scene where a little girl is tricked by Pennywise into a trap by acting like it had no friends. The girl felt identified with his situation as she had a face mark, and acts like she is his friend.
The clown promises to cure her mark by blowing air to her face, the girl is happy, gets close to him and is bitten and killed.
How could Pennywise kill the girl if she was not afraid of him? She felt happy at the moment, and the feelings she felt for the clown were of pity.
Am I mistaken in something or is this a plot hole?
