Alla:

Hated, hated HATED that change. Ron does not get too many chances to shine
in the movies as is and Kloves robbed his character of the line that so
effectively shows his devotion to Harry.



Sherry now:

And at the end of the POA movie, as Sirius is about to fly off on Buckbeak,
the special tender moment between Harry and his godfather is ruined by
Sirius commenting that Remus is right about Hermione being the brightest
witch of her age, or whatever the exact line is.  He didn't say that in the
book.  That moment is one of my favorites in the series, and specifically in
POA.  and again, the movie makers have to ruin it by making it another
Hermione moment.  I literally had to go back and read the books to remind
myself why I like Hermione, because the movie super-girl version bothers me
too much.  Yet, in the series I like her truly.
