I have a feeling that Dobby will be a little guy in a Dobby suit.  
He's in a number of scenes, and, um, perhaps they learned something 
based on their experience with the Centaur.

Buckbeak is a problem, isn't he?  Can you imagine what it would have 
looked like if Harry had ridden the Centaur?  ::shiver::  Please, 
please, let Buckbeak look more attractive than the Centaur.

I also wonder whether they'll cut a big check for special effects 
when Moody transforms into Crouch.  They don't have to (as this sort 
of thing is seen in movies from time to time), but it would be neat 
if they really put their heart into it.
