First Post, so lets hope i do this right

Having been intrigued by JKR's comments that Alfonso Cuaron's 
intuitive reading of POA had foreshadowed the narrative in books 6 
and 7, I watched with great interest and a reasonable knowledge of 
canon through to OOPT ( well who has more ?) to try and second guess 
what that foreshadowing might be.

Loved the movie ! The pace was great, loved the reworking of the 
story line to deliver a lean and very exciting story with all of the 
central threads to the story maintained. Adored the patronus !!

But my take out on the foreshadowed story line relates to the early 
scene with the Aunt Marge - and Harry's uncontrollable righteous 
anger.
It seems to me that this scene sees him breaking glasses, lights 
flickering on and off, blowing up his aunt from an apparent discharge 
of magic , Are the swings and play equipment swinging wildly around 
without reason or an aftermath of a large magical discharge from 
Harry ? is it wandless magic ? is it a magical response to 
injustice ? well really who knows but JKR, but

When Harry has righteous anger  - he can do amazing things 

He may not be able to cast an unforgiveable with his righteous anger 
as per Bellatrix Lestrange's observation in OOPT , but in this movie 
and in canon he can cast a patronus that drives away 50 + dementors 
and he can blow up a frightful aunt. ( Once he made a window 
disappear at London Zoo)

Probably drawing a long bow -  but is the power that LV knows not - 
something to do with that strength you draw upon to protect others or 
yourself from injustice and disaster ?? is it something to do with 
his righteous anger ?

Just some thoughts , but keen to test them

cheers
