Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Harry also remembers seeing the Diadem in the Room_of_Requirement.Hidden_Things_Room which I also wouldn't have thought of even though it was right there in book six.
She has a neat way of showing you very important things throughout the series, masquerading as odd bits of detail.
Oh gods. I can't even stand it anymore. I wish Gud's commute was about 15 minutes longer.
Yeah, once again he's right at a Big Event ...

I've been amusing myself wondering how the moviemakers will deal with details that might not work in the movies but which are necessary for events in later books.

Well, we have movies 6 and 7 yet to go, what about things from the earlier books that have already been made into movies - what is missing from them that was later brought back in book 7? Not that they will show ALL the detail from book 7, but still.

The fifth movie didn't show them finding the locket at Grimmauld Place, did it?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
The biggest thing - there was no SPEW. I don't even recall Hermione saying anything about Sirius's treatment of Kreacher to even hint at her not agreeing with the way other magical beings are treated. So what's gonna be the impetus for Hermione to kiss Ron in the the 7th movie?

I really miss all of the Marauders stuff in the movies, since that's one of my favorite aspects of the books.

Me, too. Me too, a lot.
I wish that Jo could have been standing over Steve Kloves and Michael Goldenburg's shoulders at times saying, "Nope. Gotta keep it. Gonna be important." I guess this is the problem with making the movies as the series is being written.

I'm not concerned. The movies have always been "Highlights from Harry Potter" anyway. They've not shown the least bit of concern about how the things link up.
