Aurora:
What I missed was the explanation of the prophecy and the emotion that
came with Sirius' death, Dumbledore's apology/speech, etc. I mean, I
didn't want to see him screaming and breaking DD's possession but I did
miss that whole scene.

did you notice that the biggest emotional scene for Harry was missing, 
the one from the book when Harry vists Dumbledoors office and really, 
really yells at him and pretty much tears the place up. I miss that 
part...It SHOULD have been in the movie. What do you think?

Goodasitgets:
I believe that was a critically important aspect to the book and it was
definitely underutilized in the movie to give us a full sense of what
Harry had kept bottled up all year. I was disappointed not to have a
more emotional scene.  We are supposed to see "white-hot anger" from
Harry as Dumbledore reminds Harry how feeling emotion/ his ability to
love, is his greatest strength.  Anyone who has been betrayed/neglected
by a loved one, as Harry felt he was by Dumbledore in not keeping Harry
informed, in walking out of Harry's hearing with not so much as a word
or glance for Harry, in not looking at or speaking with Harry, in not
selecting Harry as Prefect, in not supporting /protecting Harry (not
knowing or maybe caring the atrocities Harry endured with Umbridge),
would have a whole host of confusing and strong emotions that need to be
expressed.  Then on top of all that, anyone who had lost a loved one,and
Sirius was so much more than that to Harry...a mixture of Father,
brother, and friend...family....would upon that death be so drenched in
emotion it couldn't be confined to quiet conversation face to face
seated in chairs.  I wonder if there was a vast section of dialogue that
preceded this part of the scene, which like so much else important to
the rich descriptive elements of J.K.'s world, ended up on the cutting
room floor. ~Goodasitgets
