[HPFGU-Movie] new characters in the film

[artsylynda at aol.com]

Can someone please tell me who the heavyset black boy is who has several 
lines in PoA?  He seems to be a Gryffindor.  I really like Dean and Seamus and 
they don't get that many lines (especially Dean), so who's this other kid and why 
is he getting lines Dean could have?  Also, what happened to Goyle?  In the 
snowball scene, it's Crabbe and that new boy with Malfoy.  Maybe Cuaron didn't 
think Harry could toss Goyle around so easily, since Goyle is so huge??  If 
you want to pick on a scene that's illogical, that scene is it.  No way could 
Harry race around and kick Goyle in the butt while ALSO grabbing the other boy's 
scarf and spinning him around -- the motions came from two different 
directions, and Harry would be panting with the effort, as well as probably slipping 
out of his cloak.  It's a very funny scene, but scientifically improbable, 
given there's only ONE Harry to do all those actions (but Crabbe being "pants'd" 
or however you spell that -- too funny!)  And why was Tom completely changed in 
the Leaky Cauldron?  The new guy is very funny, but the old Tom was "Tom" -- 
the new one doesn't seem like the character in the book at all.  Oh well, that 
change, like the shrunken heads, I can accept.  The heads not letting 
underage wizards in the Three Broomsticks, though -- that's where the kids go every 
Hogsmeade visit, so no way would they NOT be allowed??  And what was that guy 
in the Three Broomsticks doing with the two candles in his hand?  With three 
viewings, there's still so much detail I can't see it all (which makes it a fun 
movie and I need to see it AGAIN!)
