He toned down what's described as Ginny's wailing when she wakes up. 
She's really calm in the movie. It's quite a little Harry/Ginny 
moment that Columbus created, and it's not canon.

In the book Harry thanks Fawkes and is healed before Ginny wakes up.  
In the movie, Harry heroically tells Ginny to go find Ron without him 
and is healed by the Phoenix with her watching.

Finally, when Fawkes is flying out of the Chamber at the end, in the 
movie Harry is holding Ginny. In the book, they are all holding hands 
in a chain.

Do you think the movie makers are anticipating a Harry / Ginny 
relationship?

It's just such a big difference from the books I was wondering what 
you all thought.

Yes, I particularly noticed the change in order of who was holding onto whom 
when Fawkes was flying them out.  I think Columbus was trying to create a 
different relationship there, or hint at it.  Harry does love the Weasleys, and 
Ginny has had a huge crush on Harry, so it's not outside the realm of 
possibility that there could be a Harry/Ginny relationship in the future -- you can 
suspect that from canon.  I think Columbus was just building on that hint to make 
things more visually interesting, sorta, and make people "wonder."  ;->  Who 
knows, maybe he's an H/G shipper!  But JKR hasn't told them who winds up with 
who, so we've been told.  She's just told them when they go somewhere that will 
lead them astray from future canon.  It will be interesting to see what 
happens in Books 6 and 7!  Can't wait!  I ALSO can't wait for the PoA and GoF 
movies (and there really should be two GoF movies -- sure hope WB sees the light on 
that one!)
