one comes to expect the unexpected. Your asking a movie question while
referring to the books. Its like putting an out house in an elevator
it dosen't fit.

happens in the movies is the comparison of both into one. One really
needs to seperate each in order to formulate an understanding of the
other.

Carol:
Maybe I'm making it too detailed. Looking only at the films,
"Professor Moody" was Barty Crouch Jr., but now Harry is calling the
real Alastor Moody "Professor" and acting as if he knows him. I would
find that odd if I had watched only the films.
I would find it odder still that Barty Jr. is blamed for Crucioing the
Longbottoms (I *think* insanity is mentioned in that scene--it's
Karkaroff's hearing and he testifies against Barty), but in OoP, the
blame is shifted to Bellatrix Lestrange. Sirius Black says that they
suffered a fate worth than death; Neville says that they were Crucio'd
by Bellatrix Lestrange. No hint as to why they're not still around. No
mention of insanity or Barty Jr.
I would find that confusing. Evidently you don't.
Carol, who deliberately left out all reference to the books this time
around
