Well, as long as JKR doesn't mind, I don't mind.  Generally speaking.  As far 
as Harry falling out of the car, it was a really cool scene!  And that way 
Daniel got to hang in the air 35 feet up, you know he loves the action scenes.  
I'm still curious as to how he gets back *in* the car, though!  

As for the last movie, the whole Norbert scene was changed.  Though it did flow 
a lot smoother than taking time to get the dragon up to the highest tower, 
etc.  Also the forbidden forest was changed to have Ron in the forest and not 
Neville.  But it all went together well enough.

As for the new movie, I know for certain the Deathday Party is out.  Which, I 
can see their point, it was a sidetrack, not completely essential to the story, 
would've been mostly special effects, and a bit confusing for younger viewers.  
I'm afraid the singing dwarf has been removed as well.  Though Harry must find 
some other way to spill ink on the diary, that was when he found out something 
was odd about it, the ink that spilled on it during that scene disappeared.  
Also it appears from the pictures in the daily calendar that McGonagall tells 
the tale of the Chamber of Secrets, not Binns.  Which makes sense as well, as 
far as the movie is concerned.  It prevents introducing a new character who 
doesn't play a big part in the plot, and it gives Maggie Smith more screen 
time.  Which is good.

In watching the preview for the newest HP movie, I saw a scene where 
Harry was falling out of the flying car over the Hogwarts train.  I 
re-read the book and that wasn't in it.  What other things were added 
to the previous movie that were not in the book?  Did you agree with 
them or not in adding these things?  And the same question goes for 
what was deleted from the book.
