Jen: I hope that Confounding moment isn't in the DH movies.  Harry didn't attempt a Crucio on Bella in the OOTP movie IIRC?  Nor does he cast Crucios at Snape in the run across the grounds in the latest.  Perhaps Kloves/Yates won't accept the 'well he's not a saint' explanation that Rowling provided for Harry's enthusiastic use of Unforgivables in DH. ;)

Jen: Another clean up, Sirius lounging around in his smoking jackets.  Although...hmm, I still like Rowling's characters best despite or because of their messiness.  Even a Harry who doesn't always act like I think he should.  He's a little too bland in the movies for my taste, less fun and more earnest.  Harry got to break free a few times in the HBP movie, particularly the parts having to do with Felix.
