Yes, that was noted and fixed early on. It deos not appear in the 
final cut of the film. As for what position James was...I did make 
some calls to the Powers That Be that I interviewed for my articles, 
and was told that JKR approved that James was a Seeker in the script, 
and that the chat thing must have been a 'mistake.' I accept that 
they may be lying to me and that there is no way to know for sure 
until someone asks her, but I do think it was interesting.
