I really hated this line :-). Hermione supported Harry and helped him
during his falling-out with Ron and his preparation to the first task.
I think that her support and her loyalty were the only things that
have gotten Harry through that horrible time, when he didn't have Ron
anymore and everyone around was tormenting him. 

The filmmakers made Hermione part of the tormenting crowd, which is
totally wrong. Besides, she appears quite unbalanced as a result - one
moment she "I'm not an owl"s Harry very angrily, and the next moment
she throws herself into his arms (in the tent) - H/H shippers were
very happy about this one, I'm sure :-).

I suppose they made Hermione say this line to show how lonely Harry
was, but it's unfair to other characters - it was really low of them,
when they all just turned around and walked away, leaving poor Harry
standing there alone ;-(. It's understandable in Ron's case, but
Hermione and Ginny??? I will never believe this.

They did the same thing in OotP, when they moved Harry and Ron's
confrontation with Seamus from the dorm to the common room, so the
rest of the Weasleys were also there. In the book all the Weasleys
believed Harry about LV's return unconditionally and supported him.
They just spent the summer together at 12 GP, talking about it and
all, and what I see in the movie? Fred and George and Ginny just sit
there, staring at Harry curiously and not interfering - totally OOC.

I can understand the movie-makers' desire to make us feel for Harry,
but it shouldn't be at the expense of other characters. I can
disregard the fact that they made Cho a traitor - she is not very
important to the story. But Ron, Hermione and the Weasleys are too
important to me, and I just can't accept such a major change in their
characters.
