Gazing Into The Crystal Ball

[Cindy C.]

I'm wondering what things we learned from the movie that might 
reflect what will happen in OoP and beyond.

The thing that struck me as receiving emphasis out of proportion to 
what was in the book was Filch and Mrs. Norris, particularly Mrs. 
Norris.  It was a striking looking cat, wasn't it?  Anyway, people 
have speculated on the main list that Mrs. Norris is more than a cat 
and will be important in future books, and this looks more likely now.

As many people have said, the Hagrid/Norbert movie scene seemed 
unnecessary.  That must be in there for a reason, so I suppose we'll 
meet up with Norbert again soon.  I wonder if Hagrid is going to die 
in OoP, perhaps at the hands (or jaws, I suppose) of Norbert.

Someone already mentioned this, but Susan Bones was one of the few 
students to be sorted.  Her parents were killed by Voldemort, so she 
must be a Big Deal.

People have speculated that Neville's toad is important, and the 
movie seems to confirm this.  We see the toad twice, but it plays no 
role in the movie plot.  Maybe there's something there?
