Given what JKR has said about the movie, specifically the two things 
that foreshadowed something in book 6 or 7, I decided to make a list 
of things that I noticed were different from the book.  I don't 
think I got everything but I did get quite a bit.  Let me know what 
you think.

1) Harry is not writing his history class essay but is looking at a 
book on how to do spell motions.

2) Knight bus shrunken head.

3) Tom instead of Fudge meets Harry.

4) Fudge has all of Harry's books.

5) Arthur tells Harry instead of Harry overhearing Molly and Arthur.

6) Mrs. Weasley runs to the train with Scabbers.

7) Choir led by Flitwick.

8) Fat Lady singing (trying to break a glass) before opening the 
door.

9) Horseplay in the dormitory with some kind of candy that allows 
the eater to make certain noises.  Seamus: monkey, Neville: 
elephant, Ron: lion, Harry: train(?).

10) In Hagrid's class everybody backs away except Harry, in the book 
Harry steps forward.

11) Bogart scene: Ron gives spider roller skates, Parvati's bogart 
is a snake instead of a mummy.  Harry actually participates and 
Lupin steps in.

12) Lupin/Harry bridge scene.  Lupin explains Lily and James and 
says that Harry is more like them than he ever knows.

13) When Snape takes over for Lupin / Malfoy's art.

14) Harry is number seven when he is playing Qudditch.

15) Fat Lady hides behind a hippo(?) in another picture.

16) While they are all sleeping in the great hall, Snape asks 
Dumbledore if Potter should be warned.

17) Fred and George know of Harry's invisibility cloak.

18) Harry pulls Malfoy into the perimeter of the Shrieking Shack's 
fence.

19) Harry cries on a rock and is comforted by Hermione.

20) Harry thinks of his mom and dad talking to him to fight the 
dementor (bogart).

21) Hagrid throws rocks on the lake.

22) Hermione punches Malfoy instead of slepping him.

23) Hermione hugs Ron when the trio thinks that Buckbeak is executed.

24) Whomping Willow attacks Harry and Hermione and then throws them 
down the hole.

25) Pettigrew runs before being forced to show himself.

26) Harry uses Hermiones wand to disarm Snape.

27) There is a piano in the Shrieking Shack.

28) Sirus and Hermione try to talk to Lupin as he transforms and 
After he transforms.

29) Snape places himself between the trio and Lupin as a werewolf.

30) Soul ball (?) comes out of Sirius's mouth.

31) Hermione throws rock and howls after they go back in time.

32) Buckbeak defends Harry and Hermione from Lupin i werewolf form.

33) Harry's patronus emits a pulsating wave of light that chase off 
the dementors.

34) Goyle is missing from a few Slytherin scenes.


   I hope this gives something for all of us to think about until 
book 6 comes out.
