Hi Jade,
Yes, you are right, Harry did know in the film. It was the book that 
he didn't suspect. Strange little twist there. And again, concerning 
Neville, I really don't want to take anything away from him but 
FakeMoody planted the proper information on him and yes, if he 
weren't a talented herbologist, he mightn't known to tell Harry, but 
he was manipulated to do so. In the book, this bit was used to show 
how Harry was almost arrogant in his inability to ask for help. 
Later when FM figured that he wouldn't go to his batchmates, he had 
to enlist Winky's help. So, the film way was neater and avoided 
Winky which is what I think they are most likely going to do for 
house elves in general. It will make the plot different but they 
seem to be able to negotiate the necessary hurdles without elves. 
Which is a bit sad when you think that much of what drives the "BIG 
PICTURE" of this story is how the WW relates to non-Wizards such as 
muggles, giants, goblins, werewolves, house elves etc. But time is 
the enemy.
