Can I just say I agree with the above 100%!

I've been wondering if JKR actually looks at the script and
approves it before filming begins, or if she now totally
leaves it in Kloves' and the director's hands.

I'm also already worried about the changes they will make in
the next movie, especially regarding Ron in the shrieking
shack scene.

My visions are similar to what you describe above.

Hermione "Superwitch" will have all the lines and bravery,
while Ron is relegated to whimper and cringe in the corner.

Maybe he won't even push Harry out of the way.

I hope this won't be the case, but the way they treated
Ron's character in CoS (I thought he was definitely safe in
this one), I'm not reassured.
