>>We're not sure there will be a Mirror of Erised scene.<<

Uh, hello, have we all forgotten how important the Mirror is to the end
of S/PS? Leaving it out of the film would seriously damage the exciting
denouement.

Uh, hello, have we all forgotten what a disaster can happen to a perfectly
good book that would make a perfectly good movie in and of itself?

If you have I recommend as an exercise that you read Ian Flemings
"Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" and then rent the movie.

I rest my case. Best to do that before I get a full head of rant going
on the movie/book translation.

Now that doesn't mean that they will necessarily completely do away with
the mirror, but I suspect the scene may be cut and that Harry finds out
about the mirror in some other way. Actually they could do it by having
the actor Harry Potter react to the mirror without our ever needing to
actually _see_ the people in it ourselves.
