However, that particular lapse has been lambasted so many times
on the main list that my initial thought was, "Ah, at least they
fixed =that!="  :)

I was also particularly moved by the fact that, as the movie
sequencing has it, Harry disposes of Riddle, and Ginny wakes,
before Harry is healed.  Harry shows his usual quiet courage in
=not= mentioning to Ginny that he's dying, just (more or less)
calmly telling her what she needs to do to get out.  Fortunately
Fawkes does intervene before the inevitable question from Ginny,
"But what about YOU?"
