In my earlier lengthy rant, I forgot to mention something that 
Kloves/Columbus had Ron do that really was shockingly OOC, IMO.  In 
the chamber after Lockhart has had Ron's wand backfire on him, he 
says something (can't recall what) and Ron says, "heart of a lion, 
this one"  which was really kind of funny.  Then he HITS HIM IN THE 
HEAD WITH A ROCK!  Someone else mentioned this earlier and thought 
it was funny.  I thought it was appalling and completely 
inappropriate.  It seemed to be in there as an amusing sight gag, 
but it bothered me both times I've seen the movie, and I can't 
imagine why everyone thought this would be appropriate at this 
point, when Lockhart is not any real threat.  Ron doesn't do 
anything remotely like this in *any* of the books, and it seemed 
like a really cheap sight gag.

Am I just being stuffy here, or was anyone else bothered by this?
