Pat here:

The Hand of Glory, as someone mentioned, is in both the book and 
movie, but the explanation for what it does is only in the book--
when Draco looks at it and wants it.

Also in that scene, Malfoy says something about having poisons that 
he doesn't want the ministry to find.  Poisons?  So is that why he 
is so friendly with Snape--or perhaps why Snape tries to stay on 
Malfoy's good side.  Perhaps Snape is aware of some dreadful thing 
that Malfoy has and is trying to keep him from using it.  (I prefer 
to think that Snape really is on DD's side.)

The conversation that Tom Riddle has with Harry in the chamber that 
has always intrigued me is the bit where he tells Harry that Lord 
Voldemort is his past, present and future.  I'm sure that is 
something that is going to be important, but can't quite figure out 
if it has to do with more time travel or family relationships, or 
something else entirely (which would be my guess).

And then there is also the issue (discussed elsewhere on the what 
does Tom want from Ginny topic) that Ginny poured out her soul to 
him in the diary and that's just what he needed.

I do agree that the connection to Godric Gryffindor could easily 
have been left out of the movie, but is very pointedly included.

And also the part with Dobby having some very strong wandless magic--
after all, he knocks Lucius down at the end when Lucius threatens 
Harry (after Harry has managed to get a sock to Dobby).

That's the problem--there are a lot of little things that still seem 
like little things--so it's hard to choose which will be the one BIG 
thing.
