Actually, having just reread the bits in PoA where Harry was hearing his parents' voices in his head because of the dementors, I have to say that this scene contradicts canon.  Why is Lily putting Harry in his crib?  James tells her to take him and run.  Lily just walks out of the room and is killed?  She's supposed to plead with Voldemort to kill her instead of Harry.  I'm starting to get the impression that the movies are going to depart from the books a great deal.  I mean, stuff she's said in interviews (like James' Quidditch position) is different; as far as I'm concerned, until she puts it in a book, it's not canon.  But this directly contradicts the only canonical information we have about what happened on October 31, 1981.  And you say JKR wrote this scene?

I haven't watched the movie yet. And it's still going to open here on November 21 in the Philippines (that's 10 days away). Arg. And I don't think I can wait that long. Anyway, I agree that the new scene wherein Lily is killed by Voldie totally contradicts the canon. I was expecting that Lily would be running for her life or at least look panicked, carrying the baby Harry in her arms protectively. But then I read something about the flashback happening when Hagrid is telling Harry about his parents. And then I thought that it could be possible that the *flashback* was just Harry imagining or speculating in his head what had happened to his parents that fateful night. We must understand that neither Hagrid or anyone else for that matter (well, maybe except for Wormtail), would know what *really* happened at the Potter's house except for those present: Voldie, James, Lily and baby Harry(?). And this is still Harry's first year. He doesn't know yet anything about dementors and hasn't yet heard his parent's voices. So, he could not know at that time how the murder took place. He could just have pictured the scene in his head from what he could surmise, and from what he heard from Hagrid. Because,if this is how it *really* happened,  then whatever happened to Lily pleading to Voldemort not to kill Harry? Where was James?
