How is Enders Game movie different from the book?

Ender’s capacity for violence is heavily toned down in the movie. Additionally, while he has compassion in the novels, he is even more softened in the film, likely to make him more likeable. Ender’s siblings, Valentine and Peter, are almost cut out of the movie completely.
