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 seen you without your clothes on before. Never thought I'd see you naked.

The fifth movie didn't show them finding the locket at Grimmauld Place, did it?
There's another one.

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.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
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.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
Well, I think she does have input. There's probably a spreadsheet somewhere linking the books together, so if they cut something they have to also figure out how to fix everything it links to.
Or not, but I'm feeling generous today. I didn't know HOW they could get around Skeeter's animagosity, but it doesn't seem to have made the slightest bit of difference. They just also cut out the using-her-for-an-interview bit in the next movie.

She has a neat way of showing you very important things throughout the series, masquerading as odd bits of detail.
very Joss-like. But, then, Joss let me down in season 7 (Eye of Bojoxa, I'm looking at you)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I was told (by someone here) that she does pretty much exactly that.

Well, she did do that for the OotP movie--the screenwriter and director were going to excise Kreacher from the storyline completely, and she said that they had to keep him in for reasons to be seen in Book 7, so they gave him those two brief scenes, as well as included, if you listen very carefully, Sirius' mom.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
