I think the mouth thing is supposed to be the "flustered can't think 
what I want to say look" Didn't really thinking about it until Candace 
mentioned it but did notice it in GOF - will go back and see it in 
POA. As for the scene everyone hates in POA. I have to admit it didn't 
really bother me that much even though my mind was saying "I liked the 
book version better." Harry is stunned in the book when learning about 
Sirius and it is not until later in the Common Room I think when he 
mentions killing Sirius. So I wondered why he had to cry - shock and 
anger were his book reaction and I think more appropriate. However, in 
Dan's defense, I was taking by a friend to see POA on IMAX a few 
months after the release and though I had already formed my opinion 
that he shouldn't have been crying in that scene I will state that on 
IMAX, there are tears on his cheeks and in his eyes. However, just 
like Emma in CoS final scene the facial expression didn't match the 
tears. I never understood why her eyes were teary in that scene - but 
then again that scene brings back a whole load of other questions on 
why was the ending made that way. And I actually dislike it more than 
Dan's crying scene.
