I remember being frustrated with Harry in book 5 (OotP)when, after
the dream that he had about Sirius being tortured, he did not think
about using the mirror to communicate but instead break into
Umbridge's office to use her fireplace. Subsequently, as we all
know, Kreacher lied to Harry that Sirius is in the Department of
Mystery etc. In thinking that his godfather is in danger, Harry &
Co. went to MoM to do a "rescue mission".
In DH the mirror becomes very important, as it is a way for
Aberforth to check on Harry and ultimately aided him by sending
Dobby to rescue Harry & Co. from Malfoy Manor (in which Dobby
died..Sob!).
I'm not sure if it matters much, but in the film version of OotP,
there was no mention of Sirius giving Harry the mirror at all. I
know JKR told the film maker to make sure they include Kreacher in
the film because they would have been tied in a knot in the film
version of DH (I assumed it is because of Kreacher's tale/locket/RAB
etc). So, I wonder how they are going to do:
(1)Rescue Harry & Co. from Malfoy Manor
(2)Dobby's death scene
(3)Aberforth finally getting involved
(4)Well, some of the deus ex machina from ch 2 "In Memoriam" onwards
Dunno...
Just a thought from a rabid fan of both the books and films
versions.:D
