  There are two long expositions or exchanges of dialog in the books, and I'm very anxious to see how they are handled in the last movie.

  The two are -

  Lastly, the most confusing unresolved Plot Point -

  In the books, Harry hid the Potions Books in the Room of Requirement, and he knows exactly where it is and what it looks like. This is very necessary to resolving the plot.

  However, in the movies, Ginny hid the Potions Books, not only from Snape and everyone else, BUT FROM HARRY TOO. How can they possible reconcile that is a way that is not a huge distraction?

  And most important of all, how can Harry realize that he hid the Diadem of Ravenclaw, and realize where it is, when thanks to Ginny hiding it, Harry has no knowledge of the Diadem?

  I just don't see how they can realistically resolve that plot point in a satisfying way. I don't see how this allows them to move more smoothly to the end of the story. It seems that, to resolve it, is going to require a huge complex distraction, that is far more likely to either slow the story down, or to be completely unbelievable. 

  It will be interesting to see how they handle this, what I consider a, great misstep.

  Andie:

  I agree with the Diadem problem.  I always said that will be a major problem to overcome.

  I don't understand how JK let them do the scene that way knowing how Harry had to come back to it in the last book.  The only thing I can see is after everyone starts showing up in the Room of Requirement and Harry asks I if anyone knows of something from Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw the diadem and what that actually means comes up and Ginny remembers that she saw it.  But again that is very far fetched.

  I wasn't thrilled with Part 1 -  hope Part 2 is better but I doubt it.  I have not been a fan of the movies because of the changes made to the story lines but ... nothing we can do about it.

  My 2 cents.
