Now me (Rachel):

The point JK says about the seemingly insignificant moment in the CoS 
film that will be important in book 6, is it too obvious that its the 
awkward moment between R/H? I think it is, just about everybody has 
picked up on it, which means its not insignificant at all. Now, i am 
an adamant R/H shipper but other than this moment, what could it be?

The point Phlux makes about Susan Bones is very interesting; in book 
5 we don't have a surprise personality of a character that we have 
had in every other book, so could Susan Bones be that very important 
one?

I must admit i hated the films, so have only seen them a couple of 
times each (too much was missed out for my liking) but what did JKR 
insist go in the film, that hasn't been picked up in the books? Or, 
has it been picked up, so we don't consider it insignificant 
anymore???

This comment ny JK really baffles me, and as much as I hope we have a 
huge surprise about an existing character, i also want the R/H ship 
to work out, I'm torn...


Thanks all,

Rachel
