That's Steve Kloves, the screenwriter for the movie, of course. To
then go on & propose this theory that the deathday party's drapes
are the same as the veil from the DoM doesn't quite make sense,
because the whole POINT of Kloves' comment was that he sometimes has
to leave things *IN* the screenplay because JKR knows they're
important. Yet Nick's deathday party *ISN'T* in the movie.

On the other hand, the similarities the author notes are quite
interesting....

I agree with you Susan.  I always felt that it was the scene after 
the trio take the polyjuice potion, where Ron and Harry (as Crabb and 
Goyle) bump into Percy. I remember it because I was so annoyed that 
Kloves gave away so much of Neville's dialog in the movie, yet he 
kept Percy in a scene that would have worked without him.  Why was 
Percy down near the Slytherin dorms?  By the way, in the book, he 
also knew that Ron was hanging out in the girls bathroom (Moaning 
Myrtle's place).
