Kneasy:
...Now we know about Ginny killing the 
roosters and why she has done it. But this is not explained in the film.

So why does Hagrid still barge in carrying two dead (apparently 
irrelevant) roosters?

Can anyone think of a plot line for the future books that needs Hagrid 
and two dead chickens?
Or perhaps just the chickens. Haruspicy? A  magical stock-pot? 
Son-of-Trevor? Fowl play?

Dan:
Actually, this is explained in the film. In the hospital, shortly after Pomfrey removes dead flowers from a vase next to Hermione's bed, Harry discovers the note in Hermione's hand and, in a corridor, reads it to Ron. It explains what the monster is (a basilisk), and other interesting facts (that it can kill with its eyes, for example). Also included is that the cry of a rooster is fatal to it; so, there we have it.

For me, I'm leaning towards Hagrid in Knockturn Alley shopping for home care products--it's always struck me as very suspicious, especially as portrayed in the film.
