Doreen:
People who have seen HBP should know about the bezoar.  Harry visits Slughorn as he's finishing a potions class with younger students.  Bezoar is mentioned as a poison antedote right before the students are dismissed, while Harry is in the classroom.  I remember it distinctly as I thought to myself, "Ah, that's how Harry will know to use it with Ron later."  I think they even showed Slughorn putting it away in his potions kit.  All this bezoar talk is funny as it is in the 6th movie.  Hope this helps!
