You are totally justified in distinguishing the book from movie characters. I agree that the movies haven't adequately portrayed important characters, including Ron and Lupin. Still, I watch the movies hoping for good characterizations, although I have been dissapointed consistenly in my viewings. I hope that the characters will be developed more fully in DH and wonder if all the movies should have been two-parters.
