...But the characters...While they do differ in slight ways from the
book, I don't think their integrity is changed. The scene with
Harry crying under the cloak may not have been in the book, but I
think it was a powerful scene visually, and also helps you see the
depth of the friendship that these kids have with one another. In
fact, there are many scenes in this film that I believe illustrates
that more powerfully than the book. For instance, the scene where
the trio views the execution. That was a very powerful scene as
well

Hi there again,
Jen here,
I have to restate my question though, why have Harry do something so 
out of character, to cry in front of his friends, when there are or 
were so many  more subtle ways of demonstrating emotion? Is this in 
character for Cuaron but not Harry? It didn't happen in the book, 
true but if you are going to invent a bit for Harry to show emotion, 
why include that really odd sound? Couldn't Cuaron have found a more 
convincing sound? Do 13 year old boys cry like tiny babies? I think 
if they cry, they do it as silently as possible. I just think this 
scene sticks out and as others say, there's a reason for everything 
in a Harry Potter film, given the time constraints. I just want to 
hear a convincing explanation for this inclusion. I haven't been 
convinced yet.
