. Sirius mirror-no show
2. Phineas Nigellus portrait-no show
3. No mention of the prophecy being overheard in Ootp or that it was Snape
who overheard and told about it in HBP
4. No mention of Harry inheriting 12 GP or Kreacher
5. No sign or mention of Dobby since CoS
6. No Bill or mention that he's marrying Fleur (though that does seem to be
in the movie) and the Weasleys house burning down!

There are more, and I have some ideas about these, but it will have to wait
for another time. I need to put the kids to bed. What do you all think?

What it tells me is that they will be making DH a very, very simple film. 

 

I saw a preview special that showed DD in the Dursely's in HPB but it was
not in the film. I presume that scene would have covered Sirius's will. They
can certainly go to 12GP without stating it belongs to Harry. Snapes role in
the prophecy and his relationship with Lilly with simply vanish, it will
come down to the one memory of DD telling Snape that Harry must die by
Voldy's hand in the end and it will be played off as nothing more than Snape
relaying DD last order. Dobby should have brought the gilly-weed in GOF and
he should have been around in OOTP and HBP as an 'extra' as only a single
line "now that he's free, Dobby works at Hogwarts" for an explanation. Don't
need to mention Fleur and Bill in HBP, the wedding will happen in DH as both
Bill and Fleur are in the film and there's no reason to include Fleur
without the wedding. I do not know if Ted Tonks will happen in DH though,
nor Harry, the 17 yr old, being the godfather becomes the parent for Ted
before he's even 18. 

 

Everything in the films has been "simplify, simplify, simplify" completely
loosing the "put-the-clues-together" parts of the books. My favorite parts
of re-reading the books is putting all the pieces together from book-to-book
and films lack that.
