This is perilously close to being OT or Movie Chatter, but 
**really**, list elves, I'm trying to get at what's important in 
canon.  Really-really!!! ;-)

Tim, do we *know* from an interview or something that JKR "forced" 
the scene of Voldy killing Lily into the movie?  I'd never heard this 
before.  I know a lot of people have felt that some imagery in that 
scene is important to understanding the book [because they see 
another person present], but I'd never heard that JKR insisted this 
scene be included.  Can you clarify?
