Cat Says: I always told people that they were missing a lot by not reading the books. (It didn't occur to me that the mirror hadn't been explained in the movies until later) I do remember while reading the books that I had wished that Harry had remembered to check up on Sirius via the mirror rather than Umbridge's fire ... But of course that would have really stalled the plot. 
Regarding Wormtail's death ... I will be VERY disappointed if turns out to be the last surviving Marauder. In the books ... the timing and method of his demise was quite apropos. He has to be punished for his betrayl and dishonesty!
