Bonny here:

One of the things that really stuck out to me in the film was the 
scene in which the Gryffindor boys are hanging out in their 
dormitory, making noises with candy. Seamus makes a monkey noise, 
which makes sense because he's a joker. Neville makes an elephant 
noise, and what do we know about elephants? THEY NEVER FORGET! Could 
this be a clue as to the nature of Nevilles repressed memory? Also, 
Ron makes the noise of a Lion, and Harry, who makes no animal noise, 
shoots steam out of his ears. It struck me that this could be 
forshadowing of them becoming animagus (Harry and Ron, I mean). Ron 
has many of the personality traits of a Lion, and the steam coming 
out of Harry's ears could represent the horns of a stag.

The way the shots were set up also said a lot to me. Throughout the 
film, we see Harry as seperate from Ron and Hermione. The best frame 
in which to see this is when Hagrid is skipping rocks. There is a 
close up of his head, taking up all the screen except the two upper 
corners. R and Her. are in one, and Harry is in the other. There are 
also other instances, in which R and Her. are dressed in colours, 
and Harry walks beside them dressed all in black. We also see images 
of Harry, dressed in black, standing behind an onimously ticking 
clock. A ticking time bomb, perhaps? And, finally for now because 
supper is ready, we see many instances of Harry examining his 
reflection, and it appearing dark. He looks at his reflection in the 
window of the train, and in the lake, and it looks very creepy. 
Maybe Harry will be forced to examine his dark side more thoroughly.
