== Book to Film ==
 
 
Like Rose W96 said, '''way''' too much stuff was omitted from the book. Normally, I love the movies, but I thought this movie was really disappointing, as the book, with the secret Dumbledore's Army, was probably my favorite of the novels. Unfortunately, this book was the longest Harry Potter novel; the film directors considered doing a 2-part movie for The Half-Blood Prince, like The Deathly Hallows, so why couldn't they for the '''biggest''' book?!
 
 
I thought it was sad not showing some of the funnier or more important parts, and also cutting characters, or changing their personalities, in the movie. I thought that it was better that Dobby told Harry about the Room of Requirement, instead of Neville accidentally finding it. I wanted to see Fred and George teasing Zacharias Smith and making his wand fly away with Expelliarmus (and his personality was changed to less stubborn); Neville actually getting one over Hermione in a practice; the Portable Swamp being made and the huge distraction the Weasley twins made so Harry could go to Umbridge's office--their leaving of Hogwarts was not enough of what I expected. The D.A. practice scenes weren't always the best, like practicing on that giant statue a lot, instead of usually with each other. I also wished we could've seen Seamus in the last meeting after all his rudeness to Harry (which also wasn't shown) or at least heard Harry say that it had been Seamus's first meeting; and the whole part of Hermione blackmailing Rita Skeeter into interviewing Harry for a true version of his battle with Voldemort in The Quibbler was really important.
 
 
I thought it was...interesting...to have Cho's tattletale friend Marietta cut from the film, and instead have Cho tell, but by Veritaserum. Maybe for the book, Cho should have been the tattletale, and not have Marietta be a member at all (or at least not a ''reluctant'' member); but I don't like how it was done by a truth potion in the movie, and without the "SNEAK" on Cho's face.
 
 
Also, (along with this happening in Goblet of Fire), I thought they should have made more appearances of Parvati and Lavender together, instead of Parvati and Padma together--and they are identical twins, like Fred and George, not fraternal![[User:Mistystar31|Mistystar31]] ([[User talk:Mistystar31|talk]]) 02:39, October 12, 2013 (UTC)

Someone needs to finish the synopoisis. Yeah, someone really should... 67.81.170.159 23:34, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Sirius's Death

In the movie Bellatrix killed Sirius with the killing curse!!!! But in the book it doesn't say the actual spell!!!!! He shouldn't have died by the killing curse in the movie because it takes away from the affect of the veil. If he was killed by that curse it wouldn't have mattered whether or not he'd fallen into the veil, he'd be dead all the same! Anyways, the movie was way too different from the book. They removed too much. Rose W96 04:41, 3 June 2008 (UTC)Rose W96

It wasn't the killing curse that Bellatrix shot at Sirius Black. The spell she shot at him was red, but Avada Kedavra is green. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.253.95.245 (talkcontribs).

Left Out Quidditch Ban

This synopsis is missing a very important part of the book. During a game of Quidditch, Harry Shoved a snitch down Malfoy's throat, which resulted in harry receiving a lifetime ban of playing Quidditch from umbridge. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.26.54.207 (talkcontribs) 09:04, 25 June 2009.

The synopsis is on the brief side. You're welcome to add more detail if you think something's too important to be left out. :) Starstuff (Owl me!) 20:51, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
I've finished that chapter and Harry didn't do that! Percy Jackson12 15:27, August 29, 2011 (UTC)

On page 198,the book mentions a horse like creature that only certain people can see. This creature is said to be thestral. A thestral is a creature that only people who have seen death can see them. The book recalls that Harry can see the thestrals because he witnessed the death oh Cedric Diggory die in the Triwizard Tournament the past year. Harry should have been able to see the thestrals in years past because he saw both his parents die. Although he was very young and probably did not realize that they were dead, he did see the scene when a dementor attacked him two years earlier. The dementor showed Harry the worst thing that happened to him, the death of his parents.


I agree, he should have been able to see the thestrals before because he saw his mom die. However, he had already been rushed upstairs by his mom before Voldemort killed his dad. And also, the dementors didn't show Harry the death of his parents, he only heard it.

Behind the Scenes / Errors

The last item in this section states "When arriving at Privet Drive, Kinglsey Shacklebolt says, "You see what I mean Remus, he looks exactly like James." Lupin would have already known that, having met Harry 2 years beforehand." What is the source for this? I have the original U.S. edition and it reads as follows-- "'Yeah, I see what you mean, Remus,' said a bald black wizard standing farthest back; he had a deep, slow voice and wore a single gold hoop in his ear. 'He looks exactly like James.'" George B. (talk) 22:18, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

"Happiest he had been in fourteen years"

Err... just to note, in the summary of the last edit I just undid (claiming that it had been fifteen years since the last time Voldemort had been as Happy as he was the Death Eaters broke out, rather than fourteen), I said it wouldn't be fifteen years until October 1995, but I meant it wouldn't be fifteen years until October 1996. Either way, amounts to the same thing-- "fourteen years" is not an error. --Emmy () 20:48, October 30, 2010 (UTC)

Thestrals

If Ron, Hermione and Ginny cannot see the Thestrals when they are first arriving at Hogwarts at the start of the book, how are they able to fly to the Ministry on them? 86.27.109.85 19:37, April 4, 2011 (UTC)

Working on synopsis

hi, i'm working on the plot of this book. I'll split it into chapters and add the chapter art pictures. =)

Arayam Rosa 17:25, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

Anybody knows a better description for the Chapter 22 picture? I think it is the potion to heal Mr. Weasley from the snake bites. But I'm not sure.

Arayam Rosa 21:22, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

On the part of the synopsis, due to the dividing, rewrites are going to be needed to split this off from the other chapters and that I also am adding some additional good bits that were never used before due to a different type of summary being used before. -Adv193 21:26, August 3, 2011 (UTC)
Good, I think the article is better and more complete this way =] Arayam Rosa 21:30, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix - Minor Book Info Errors

book 5 chapter 2:

Key: letter - who from - gist of what is in the letter

letter 1 - ministry of magic - expeled from Hogwarts and the destruction of Harry's wand; letter 2 - arthur weasly - Dumbledore knows and is trying to change the ministries mind; letter 3 - ministry of magic - telling of the change and Harry's hearing; letter 4 - Sirius Black - telling Harry to stay; letter 5 - ?? (howler) - "Remember my last, Petunia."

every letter but the fourth one from Sirius is the same as what is said in the page of this book.
