[HPFGU-Movie] Umbridge torture

[Valerie Flowe]

I didn't. I felt it was a waste of precious air time. They had already 
established 3x, (through Harry and then through the group detention, 
and then again, walking out of detention when Cho approached Harry and 
he blew her off), that Umbridge was torturing kids. This scene came 
RIGHT after the Snape's worst memory scene, when it would've been so 
much more advantageous to the understanding of the plot to have A) 
Harry in the common room telling Hermione and Ron what he had just seen 
and how upset he was at his dad's bullying behavior. Then B) he 
could've called up Sirius in the fire, as in the book, and had that 
important conversation with him. That would've taken all of 5 minutes, 
and they wouldn't have had to throw in that somewhat jarring "Good One 
James!" from Sirius in the M.O.M. battle.
My 2 knuts! :-)
