It wasn’t supposed to be Cho Chang who gave the secret away!

I can't belive the movie is that way and you are right it is Cho's friend that told Professor Umbridge not Cho. I can't belive they ruined the movie that way. I want to see it but it sounds disappointing since I just finished reading the book over again last week.

the movie's effects were cool. however, what disappoints me is that there were a lot of changes in the movie. But hey, they can't fit a very thick book into a movie, could they?

I hate that books are so different to the film, it bugs me because I expect something because I have read the book but then when I watch the film it is different or doesn't acknowledge a scence(point)....

Really? Why did the movie came out that way? I do not expext you to answer, hehe.. I was just wondering. I know that every scene in the book cannot be put into the whole movie, but i think what should be put in the movie should be exactly the way the story goes.. what a pity with the Cho Chang character... after the movie, one of things you actually remember is that Cho Chang was the one who squealed about the secret hideout and the "dumbledore's army".. hmm, i'm a little disappointed..

I was kinda sad about that fact too. I thought that Cho just told Umbridge because she didn't want to get into trouble. But I had a one-minute bathroom break the time they were in Umbridge's office, and Snape did mention that Umbridge used Veritaserum on her, so it wasn't really her fault. I was happy to hear that. Even though I don't like the character of Cho Chang that much, I never had the impression that she was a telltale or a coward. Anyway, I just think they didn't have time to add Marietta into the movie. It'll take a pretty long explanation of how she got there or whatever. But they did accomplish the task of breaking up Harry and Cho so there. :) Personally, I think the movie was okay. I think I was a bit more pleased with the fourth (well maybe because it was my fave book lol!). There was something missing with this one...but it was good enough for me. I think they got all the important stuff in it, and the acting was marvelous. I did cry (thankfully I watched the movie at like, 10:30am so there's not much people in the cinema and no one was sitting beside me).

Yes, I've noticed that too. They're actually creating another story there u-huh?. Here's another thing, all members of the DA were punished with that magical PEN Umbridge have, where in fact in the book, it was only Harry who have experienced using that pen. Nice special effects they got anyway.. I like the movie somehow even if it has it's own twist and turns. ;) hihihihi...

Hmmm, thats my problem in reading books then watching that book in the movies. I know its imposibble to oput everything from the book to the movies. Thats why i have decided not to watch the movie so that I will not be annoyed. It affects me when the movie does not present all the facts that are there in the book.

That really bothered me as well... See, when I first started reading about Cho, I didn't like her, since she was kind of an outsider and didn't really seem to belong anywhere in the story, and I thought Harry's crush on such a clueless person was rather pointless. Then, as I read about her in Book 5, I realized it's not her fault she doesn't know what's going on, and she's just an innocent, normal person. After this, I didn't dislike her anymore. But, making her seem like a snitch in the movie is going to give her a bad reputation among movie-goers! If her reputation wasn't already shaky enough, that's really going to ruin it. I was kind of upset that the director/producer decided to abuse her character like that and upset that Rowling allowed it. It would have been easy to include Marietta, rather than that Nigel kid who doesn't even exist in the books and I suppose is meant to take the place of Colin and Dennis Creevey, who they deleted out of existence or something...

Saved them from having to add yet another character too, I'm sure. With books like these, they just can't get everything in. I wish they could though.

the thing is that they wanted something to show the break up between harry and cho. so they did that thing you mentioned. or they would have had to show the whole hoagmead trip to explain about the break up. this was mush simpler. and remember that in the book it was dobby who told harry about the room of requirement but in the film its nevill who finds it. there were many changes from the book in the whole film. but its usual to change the story to suit the film's need.

had the same reaction...wish they didn't make it that way.it mad cho a snitch which is sad because she wasn't like that. besides that's not the reason why things didn't work out between her and harry...guess the producers just wanted to make it simple. but for people who already read the book, changes like that are quite disappointing. the movie was great, though, especially for people who haven't read the book...

really??coz i havent seen the movie until yet.and yes you are right.it was cho changs friend who told umbridge about the da meetings.guess i will know what will happen when i see the movie.

there are always some glitches in the movies as always.. but anyway, yes agree with you, it was suppose to be cho chang's friends.. the movie has been done and we cannot do anything about it.. just look on the brighter side of t he movie

yupp. i too was suprised at the occurence of such events.i got doubts too but i had forgot the story line so i didnt care.thanx for the info
