Subject: POA List of Differences (spoilers)

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.

I think that there were a lot of differences due to
the fact they had to put the book into only a two hour
movie.  However, I did notice the repeated play of the
headless hunt throughout the movie.  I was curious in
the second movie why they had left out the deathday
party and the headless hunt.  I was curious as why,
then, this was added in the third movie.  Could it be
foreshadowing something?  I really can't come to any
conclusions.  Maybe they just put it in because it
looked cool, or maybe there is more to the headless
hunt???
I'll have to ponder this a little longer and write
back at a later time. This is the first time I heard
of clues in the third movie relating to other books. 
But, I do have to include that I really liked how
Snape protected the children when Lupin turned into a
werewolf.  I think that gives us a little more insight
into his character.  As someone else said, Snape may
be a good guy, even if he isn't a nice guy.
