Needless to say there are spoilers if you haven't seen the
film yet.
JKR said that there were a couple things that people are
going to think were put in there on purpose as clues to six
and seven. That would seem to indicate tht they are
departures from the book because otherwise why would anyone
think they were put in there at all?

The scene in POA that stood out to me more than any other
was the following:
Hogsmeade, where Harry is eavesdropping on wizard conver-
-sation regarding Sirius.
Harry finds out that Sirius was his grandfather and
runs out into the snow in his invisibility cloak.
You can clearly hear him crying and sobbing as he runs.
Hermione chases after him, catches up to him, and removes
his cloak.
As Harry turns to face her and express his pain, his face
is DRY, particularly his eyes, as if he was incapable of
shedding a tear.
This scene was one of the few in POA that was actualy shot
in close-up. For some reason a lot of the film was done in
medium to long shot, and the scene was filmed this way to
make sure that we are paying attention to Harry, and Harry
alone.
I have commented here before about Harry's inability to shed
tears throughout the series, and the movie empahsizes this.
JKR has always talked about eyes being significant and this
scene may provide yet another clue how this is indeed so.
