Also, none of the healers are introduced owing to the "christmas on the closed ward" scene being cut. So naturally none of the other injured people ahead in the queue at the reception desk are present in the film.

Several key scenes and items were left out of the movie, that prove pivotal in Harry Potter's later adventures. The mirror given to Harry by Sirius is omitted, which Harry uses in The Deathly Hallows to communicate with Aberfroth Dumbledore. Also, Slytherin's Locket, a horcrux, is never shown in the movie either, Nor is Kreacher's pack-rat sentimentality towards Black Family heirlooms.

Book chapter	Book	Film
Dudley Demented	Harry lies flat on his back in the flower bed below the open window of the Dursleys' house listening to the news on the television for anything unusual, but there's nothing unusual reported. Harry is then startled by a loud echoing crack, the same noise that Dobby the house elf made when he had apparated into the Dursley household the summer before Harry's second year at Hogwarts. In his haste to investigate the noise, he attempts to rise from his position on the flower bed only to smash his head on the opened window. Vernon Dursley then clasps his hands around Harry's neck and releases him only because of onlooking neighbors. After the curious neighbors had retreated back inside their windows Vernon asks Harry, "What the devil do you mean by it boy?" Vernon is thoroughly convinced that Harry has caused the cracking noise even though he denied causing the disturbance. He soon goes to the park and sits on the only swing that Dudley and his gang had not yet managed to destroy. Dudley had not noticed Harry since he sat lurking in the shadows. Although Harry had a strong desire to approach Dudley to watch his dilemma of whether or not to attack Harry and lose face in front of his gang, Harry's better judgement prevails. He recalls Sirius's letter telling him to "keep his nose clean. Once Dudley's gang has split up to go home for the evening, Harry falls into step beside Dudley. They both walk back to Number 4 Privet Drive. Dudley antagonises Harry until he gets angry and threatens Dudley with his wand. As they pass through a dark alleyway, a storm starts brewing and Dudley suspects Harry. Two Dementors approach the cousins. Harry conjures a Patronus Charm, and Dudley becomes unwell and hears voices. Harry is rescued by Mrs. Arabella Figg, known to Harry as a tedious longtime neighbor and occasional babysitter, who explains that she is actually a Squib planted amongst the muggles by Dumbledore to monitor Harry. They escort Dudley home, Arabella expressing her anger toward a lazy wizard guard who had gone off to investigate about a batch of stolen cauldrons (Mundungus Fletcher, who apparates for a late rescue). Mundungus is surprised to learn about the dementor attack and is beaten bodily by Mrs. Figg with her handbag full of cat food. Mundungus then disapparates to tell Dumbledore what has happened	The film opens with Harry already being at the park on the swing and there's a dull radio voice-over in the wind explaining nothing unusual. Dudley approaches Harry with his gang who start antagonizing him on the spot until Harry gets angry and threatens Dudley with his wand. A storm begins to brew with Dudley suspecting that Harry is causing it. The gang scrambles, followed by Harry and Dudley running back to number 4 Privet Drive. While passing through a tunnel, two Dementors enter and attack. Dudley slips on the icy floor and becomes unconscious. Harry performs the Patronus Charm to drive off the Dementors. Arabella Figg sees the attack, and she escorts Harry and Dudley home. Mrs. Figg briefly explains to Harry that she's been watching him on Dumbledore's request, with Harry not expressing any surprise at his seemingly typical lifelong neighbor turning out to be part of the wizarding world. While she obviously knows of the wizarding world, there is no mention of her being a squib. Also, Mrs. Figg talks briefly about the murder of Cedric Diggory as something that happened last year, while it actually happened merely a few months before (possibly referring to the last Hogwarts school-year).
A Peck of Owls	When Harry arrives home with Dudley, both Petunia and Vernon are shocked to see their son in this state. Vernon has a row with Harry and even threatens to kick him out of the house after Dudley, who is still dazed, blames Harry for the attack. Harry explains what occurred, revealing parts of the wizarding world to them. Petunia surprises everyone by revealing that she knows that dementors are the guards of Azkaban. Her previously unrevealed knowledge of the wizarding world makes Harry curious. Many owls zoom through the Dursleys' open window, dropping off letters, one from the Ministry of Magic stating that Harry's been expelled from Hogwarts because of his use of magic, and that he is to appear at a trial. Other letters are from Sirius Black and Arthur Weasley saying to stay where he is. Vernon is about to kick Harry out when an owl arrives with a howler from Dumbledore (though Harry does not recognise his headmaster's voice) addressed for Petunia. After being ignored by her it bellows "remember my last, Petunia". Petunia says that they must let Harry stay, but gives no further explanation.	When Harry arrives home with Dudley, Petunia is shocked to see her son in this state, Vernon soon realizes the situation and begins fuming at Harry when Dudley, who is still dazed from attack, points to Harry as the cause. Harry does not mention the dementors or the wizarding world. Instead of breaking down upon seeing her son's condition, Petunia seems relatively calm, hinting to the viewers she could have known something. A single owl from the ministry zooms through the window (then crashes into the ceiling) with a howler (here depicted as being white, not red), which takes the form of a woman's (Mafalda Hopkirk) face and tells Harry that he's been expelled from Hogwarts because of his use of magic and is to be present at a trial. No howler is sent to Petunia.
Advance Guard	After Harry questions Petunia's knowledge of the magic world to no avail, he is sent to his room. Harry sends letters to Sirius, Hermione, and Ron about the ordeal. He is furious that no one has properly contacted him to explain more about his under-age magic hearing at the Ministry and his possible expulsion from Hogwarts. Days later, the Dursley's leave to receive a so-called prize they won for their garden, while Harry is locked, miserable, in his room. At their absence, noises are heard downstairs. Harry investigates only to find a large group of people (“eight or nine”, although the chapter illustration shows eight) at the doorway of the Dursley's, two of whom he knows: Mad-Eye Moody (who Harry is a little uncomfortable to see after his last experience) and Remus Lupin. They have come to take Harry to Grimmauld Place--the Headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. They tell him they arranged a fake garden competition to get rid of his relations. Two other prominent characters of the group were Kingsley Shacklebolt and Nymphadora Tonks who Harry does not know. Tonks helps Harry pack and reveals her Metamorphamagus powers to him (her ability to change her appearance at will). After questioning about the upcoming trial, Harry is enchanted by Moody to become partially invisible. They all depart on brooms, with Harry to follow Tonks. Moody stresses them to fly very high above the cover of clouds. On the flight some discussion as to what route they should take happens.	After the Dursleys leave to get Dudley help (making it secret as possible), Harry goes to isolate himself in his room. That night after dreaming a strange dream, Harry sees that his locked door is unlocking itself. The door opens to reveal a group of three people: Mad-Eye Moody, Kingsley Shacklebolt and Nymphadora Tonks who have come to take Harry to Grimmauld Place, the Headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. The scene cuts to Harry and the Advance Guard (which only consists of 6 people) exiting Number 4 Privet Drive. After Harry questions them about his trial and Tonks is introduced to the audience (as Nymphadora) along with her powers, the party departs on brooms, Harry to follow Tonks. They fly quite low through London and down the Thames, avoiding boats, clearly in the sight of Muggles.
Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place	At their destination, Moody gives a note written by Dumbledore with the address of Grimmauld Place to Harry, who reads it and then a door to Number Twelve appears between Eleven and Thirteen. Lupin opens the door with his wand and they enter. Mrs. Weasley greets Harry and tells him the meeting of the Order has started so he can go up to see Hermione and Ron. Once he meets them he expresses his anger on how he's been isolated over the summer, and they tell him they had sworn to Dumbledore to not inform Harry of any news. Fred & George apparate in and they attempt to use the Extendable Ears to spy on the Order's meeting but are foiled by an Imperturbable Charm placed on the kitchen door by Mrs. Weasley. On the descent for dinner, the portrait of Sirius' mother curses the visitors.	At their destination, Moody taps his staff on the ground causing Number Eleven and Thirteen to split apart revealing Twelve. Mrs. Weasley greets Harry and tells him the meeting of the Order has started so he can go up to see Hermione and Ron. Upon his ascent, he spots Kreacher. Once he meets Hermione and Ron he expresses his feelings on the dementor attack and his expulsion, and they tell him they've swore to Dumbledore to not inform Harry on any news. Fred & George apparate in and they use the Extendable Ears to spy on the Order's meeting, but Crookshanks foils their eavesdropping by eating the ear.
The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black	Mrs. Weasley and the kids are cleaning the Black house and find many dangerous family heirlooms, among them a heavy golden locket which no one can open. Sirius shows Harry the Black Family Tapestry explaining about his brother Regulus and how he became a Death Eater but later defected and was killed. He also reveals to Harry that he is related to the Weasleys, Tonks, Bellatrix Lestrange, and the Malfoys.	Harry finds the room with the Tapestry in Grimmauld Place during the Christmas Holidays, and Sirius explains some things about it. Regulus and his other relatives are not mentioned at all, only Bellatrix. The cleaning scene is omitted and the heavy golden locket is not mentioned at all in the film. This may prove to be an issue in the film for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, in which the locket plays a significant role, as does the character of Regulus Black.
Kreacher	Kreacher spends his days yearning for Mrs. Black: he is in love with the pureblood way of thought and has hidden objects from the Black house in his cupboard, including a picture of Bellatrix that he is found ogling. He, like Dobby, has decided to leave his owner's house and reveals the bond that Harry and Sirius have. He deceives Harry as part of the plot to lure Potter to the Ministry.	There are two scenes with this house elf grumbling, but the character is barely present. Director David Yates had, in fact, completely cut the character from the final draft before Rowling herself intervened on Kreacher's behalf.^[7] Kreacher's obsession with Bellatrix is removed and he does not trick Harry.
Fountain at the Ministry of Magic	The fountain is shown as one monument, including the witch, wizard, centaur, goblin and elf in one fountain. Dumbledore also brings them to life in the fight scene to protect Harry, block Bellatrix and go and alert the Minister of Magic.	The fountain is separated into two monuments, one for the witch, centaur, goblin, and elf and another for the wizard. During the fight scene they are not brought to life and plays no active role.
Harry and Ginny	Ginny appears to get over her crush on Harry, based on both her ability to now talk around Harry and her dating Michael Corner and Dean Thomas, and becomes a much more prominent character as the two become friends.	Subtle hints suggest Ginny still fancies Harry, and no mention of her dating other characters is made. Ginny also plays a smaller role in the movie that it is not nearly as extensive as her role in the book and some of her character development is left out.
King's Cross	While at King's Cross, the group are escorted by the Advance Guard. Sirius comes along but only in dog form.	While at King's Cross, Sirius arrives in dog form, changing into human form in a waiting room. Harry enters the room with Mad-Eye Moody and Tonks guarding the door. Sirius gives him the photo of the old Order of the Phoenix. (In the book, Mad-Eye Moody showed it to him.)
Luna Lovegood	Harry, Ron and Hermione meet her in the train to Hogwarts.	The trio meet her in the carriage to Hogwarts after the train ride and is introduced by Hermione instead of Ginny. Though Luna is reading an edition of the Quibbler, there is no mention made of the fact that her father is the editor. Harry's interview in the Quibbler is also not mentioned.
The Quibbler	Luna Lovegood's father is the editor of the conspiracy tabloid The Quibbler. Luna is reading it upside-down when Harry meets Luna on-board the Hogwarts Express. Hermione refuses to believe anything stated in The Quibbler and is relatively annoyed by Luna and her dad's false acclamations.	Luna is merely seen reading The Quibbler upside-down once on-board the carriage. Neither the issue of The Quibbler nor Luna's father being the editor is mentioned. One of the Educational Decrees does ban it however.
Prefects	Two students from each house are selected at their fifth year to represent the respective houses as Prefects. Ron and Hermione were selected as Gryffindor Prefects while Draco and Pansy were selected as Slytherin Prefects. Harry seems relatively upset as many saw him being second to Ron. At the end, Dumbledore explains why he did not select Harry as a Prefect, telling him he thought Harry had enough to worry about.	Nothing is mentioned about the Prefects. Ron and Hermione remain as normal students. Though there is a scene where Ron asks the whole Gryffindor common room if they have a problem with Harry with an air of authority. You can also see small pins in one scene with a "P" on them.
Umbridge	There are a total of twenty-eight decrees are passed in this book, eight of which are seen everywhere in the school.	Her role as High Inquisitor expands to include restricting music and kissing between students. The decrees go all the way up to 119, all posted at the Great Hall, while in the books about 8 are passed. Many of these decrees are implied to be ludicrous, such as "boys and girls must not come within 8 inches of each other". This change was likely used to imply Umbridge's assertion of authority within Hogwarts without having to go into the great amount of detail the book went through.
Harry's Punishment from Umbridge	Harry is forced to attend several week-long detentions with Umbridge, where she cruelly makes him write the line 'I must not tell lies.' repeatedly with a special quill, which magically cuts into Harry's right hand and uses his blood for ink, leaving scars on his right hand. Umbridge also bans Harry and the twins from Quidditch and locks up their brooms, which are rumored to be guarded by a troll in the basement. The only other person who receives a similar punishment is Lee Jordan.	Only once is Harry shown attending a detention with Umbridge on his own, where he receives the same punishment. The scar is shown to appear on his left hand. Harry later endures it again, along with Ron, Hermione, and the rest of the members of Dumbledore's Army after Umbridge discovers the group. Later it is revealed that Umbridge uses it against several students for various 'crimes'. Nothing is mentioned of 'essence of Murtlap'
Percy's Denial	Throughout the book it is explained that Percy, after the events of the last book, has decided to side with the Ministry on the status of Lord Voldemort. Percy actually goes as far as writing a letter to Ron about choosing his friends wisely and since he is now a prefect to avoid spending time with the troublemaker and to sever ties with Mr. Potter. Also that Dumbledore is clearly not right and if anything is bothering or worrying his brother to go straight to Professor Umbridge for guidance and protection.	Percy has few moments on screen; he does not write the letter to Ron. The only indication that he and the Weasley family are not seeing eye to eye is that he arrives with Kingsley Shacklebolt and the ministry to apprehend Dumbledore. He also appears walking with the minister when Umbridge is appointed.
Umbridge and McGonagall's shouting fight	Professors Umbridge and McGonagall get into an argument during Harry's Career Advice session with McGonagall. Umbridge enters and begins interrupting their conversation which ends with Umbridge ranting about McGonagall wanting Dumbledore as Minister of Magic.	This is not seen or mentioned at all in the film. Instead, the argument is sparked by McGonagall rebuking Umbridge for her "medieval" punishments and ordering her to follow standard detention practices. Shortly after this, Umbridge is made High Inquisitor.
Harry's Education and Aurors	In the book Harry decides to try and become an Auror (a dark wizard catcher), a fact repeatedly mentioned. The book also concentrated much on the required subjects Harry needs to take at N.E.W.T level in order to achieve his goal. Prof McGonagall defends Harry to Umbridge, who states that as long as she is in the Ministry of Magic, Harry will never become an Auror. The two fight loudly about it.	Nothing is mentioned about Harry's job aspiration or the N.E.W.T-level subject combinations.
Confronting Dumbledore	Fudge, Umbridge, and company confront Dumbledore, who escapes with Fawkes in a flash of fiery light that temporarily stuns everyone into unconsciousness. In reality, Dumbledore stuns everyone but Harry and Minerva so he can give some final instructions before he leaves. The painting of Phineas Nigellus on the wall comments that Dumbledore has style	Dumbledore's escape is through some magical bond that occurs when he and Fawkes make contact, thus causing an "explosion" which throws everybody off their feet. Kingsley comments to the Minister of Magic, Fudge, that Dumbledore has style.
Parvati and Padma Patil	They are identical twins, in Gryffindor and Ravenclaw respectively.	They are fraternal twins. Although both appear in the Gryffindor common room at one point, it is not clear whether Padma was sorted there for purposes of the film or if she was merely a guest of Parvati, though she does wear a Gryffindor uniform during several scenes.
Dumbledore's Army	Ginny comes up with the title of Dumbledore's Army after Harry comments about the Ministry's belief that Dumbledore is in fact building up his own army to fight the Ministry.	The title is first shown at the top of the paper when the students first sign up at the Hog's Head, implying that Hermione had written it on the sheet before they even got there.
Cho, Marietta, and Hermione's Hex	Marietta Edgecombe told Umbridge about the Room of Requirement, but said nothing more once Hermione's SNEAK hex activated. (Hermione put a spell on the sign-up parchment ensuring that anyone who told on them would be hexed.)	Cho Chang told Umbridge of the Room of Requirement under the influence of veritaserum during Umbridge's questioning of the students (seen in the film, and later mentioned by Snape in Umbridge's office, that she had used his last bottle to "interrogate Miss Chang").
Dobby and the Room of Requirement	A meeting spot is only in the back of everyone’s mind. Harry runs into Dobby by chance and asks him if he knows a well hidden place for meetings, Dobby then tells him about the Room of Requirement. Dobby later comes to the Room to warn Harry that Umbridge and her Inquisitorial Squad are coming, with unknown numbers of D.A. members only being caught all over the school after fleeing the Room. Also, the Room has a list of members.	Dobby doesn't appear in the film at all. Instead everyone is actively hunting for a good meeting spot, with Neville accidentally discovering the Room of Requirement. The D.A. only learns they've been discovered when Umbridge blasts the hidden door to the Room to discover the entire D.A. redhanded, hence all the D.A. members save Cho serve detention. Also, the Room of Requirement has a bulletin board where the list of members, a picture of Cedric Diggory, Neville's parents and the picture of the original Order (Sirius gave it to Harry in the film) are there.
Quidditch	Ron joins the Quidditch team, without success at first. Then after a big fight with Malfoy, Harry, Fred and George are banned from Quidditch by Umbridge and Ginny takes Harry's place.	Quidditch isn't mentioned or seen at all in the film, the first of the films to remove the subject entirely.
Hagrid's fight with Ministry thugs	Hagrid fights Dawlish and other 'Dark figures' which results in Fang and Prof McGonagall being stunned.	This scene is cut.
Giants	Hagrid narrated in thorough detail his mission to the Giants during his absence. He explains that he was accompanied by Madame Maxime. Much is elaborated about how he tried to coax the Giants by bribing them with gifts, and that Hagrid and Madam Maxime failed their task mainly because Death Eaters intervened and the Giants are now on Voldemort's side.	No mention is made of Maxime in the entire film. Hagrid describes both The Order and the Death Eaters’ as attempting to recruit, only giving a quick summary of his mission and alluding to interference from Death Eaters.
Mrs. Black, Buckbeak and Phineas Nigellus	Mrs. Black's portrait constantly yells in shrieking rants about Grimmauld Place being used by a group of degenerate mudbloods. Phineas speaks with Harry from his portrait, and later visits Grimmauld Place in search of Sirius, after learning of his death in the Department of Mysteries. Buckbeak is kept in a room upstairs in Grimmauld Place.	Mrs. Black's portrait was not shown on screen, although when Harry first meets Kreacher her portrait can be heard muttering behind a veil about mudbloods and the defilement of her house. Buckbeak is omitted from the film. Phineas appears only briefly, in his portrait in Dumbledore's office, after the attack upon Mr. Weasley in the Department of Mysteries.
Rita Skeeter and the Quibbler	Hermione blackmails Rita to write an article to help Harry's image in the media. Since all of the normal newspapers are being influenced by the Ministry of Magic and refuse to publish the story, the kids get it published in The Quibbler thanks to their friendship with the daughter of The Quibbler’s owner, Luna Lovegood.	Rita and her article never makes an appearance in the film, and the Quibbler is of no importance (nor is Luna’s connection to it mentioned), though it does make a brief appearance in one scene.
Sirius's Pen name and alias	In the book Harry delivers frequent letters to Sirius who goes under the alias name Snuffles in this book and the previous. They come up with that name to keep him from being found out.	In the film, his Marauders name Padfoot is said aloud by Moody to Sirius in Animagus form at King's Cross Station, when Harry writes Sirius a letter about his scar hurting, and in the climax scene when Harry mentions "Padfoot is in trouble". The alias Snuffles is omitted.
St. Mungo's	After the attack upon Mr. Weasley in the Department of Mysteries, Harry and the Weasleys return to Grimmauld Place and visit Mr. Weasley at St. Mungo's. Here they see Neville visiting his parents, tortured into insanity by the Lestranges long ago, and encounter Professor Lockhart, who still has no memory.	The visit to St. Mungo's is missing from the film. Instead, Neville tells Harry about his parents in the Room of Requirement after Bellatrix Lestrange breaks out.
Harry's Fears	Harry fears Voldemort may be controlling his mind or possessing him, and he could be used to spy on the Order or attack people.	Harry fears he's becoming more like Voldemort because of how angry and frustrated he feels all the time.
Sybill Trelawney's Defense / The appointment of Firenze	During the shouting match between Trelawney and Dolores Umbridge, with Umbridge attempting to expel Trelawney from Hogwarts, Dumbledore intervenes to defend Trelawney. Dumbledore asks Trelawney to remain in the castle, but her Divinations class is turned over to Firenze. Later, while telling Harry about the prophecy, Dumbledore mentions that he was unsure about whether to keep Divinations in the curriculum when he interviewed Trelawney, and that she displayed no talent in divination prior to the prophecy.	Firenze does not appear and is not named to replace Trelawney as Divinations instructor.^[2]
Thestrals	In the novel Hagrid tells Harry why he is able to see the thestrals during a lesson. In this same chapter it is also clarified that Neville can see them as well since he saw his grandfather die. During the flight to the ministry, the perspective of those D.A. members who cannot see them is portrayed.	Luna tells Harry why they can see them in a completely separate scene not included in the book in the Forbidden Forest. Nothing is made of the many D.A. members who can not see their flying mounts.
The Woes of Mrs. Weasley	Molly tries to tackle a Boggart and we find that she has the nightmare of losing every member of her family including Harry in a horrific act. Not only does it show Molly's worst fear but Harry is first to overhear her crying, before Lupin, Sirius, and Moody come in to see what is going on. They reassure her that the Order is much more prepared than last time, and quickly perform the charm to remove the Boggart properly.	This scene was cut from the movie.
Tonks's Transformations	In the book it is explained why and how Tonks can make all her transformations. It is explained that she is a Metamorphmagus and has the ability to change appearance in her face and hair. Throughout the book she uses this skill often. Tonks's appearance in the book is very well described. She is injured in the final battle.	In the film her background is never revealed, but it is explained on why she can change form. In the film she is able to change her face into animal forms and her hair into three different hair colours. Her role is also smaller, she only appears in a few scenes, and though she appears in the final battle, she is not injured.
Occlumency	The last day of the Christmas holidays at Grimmauld Place, Snape tells Harry and Sirius that Harry will be having Occlumency lessons back at school, on Dumbledore's orders. Sirius and Snape argue nastily and we learn that they, along with James Potter, hated each other at school. Harry breaks up the fight between them. Harry starts his first lesson shortly after this and they continue for a few months.	Immediately after Harry's dream about Arthur being attacked (before Christmas), while everyone is in Dumbledore's office, Harry learns he will be having Occlumency lessons in Snape's office, starting immediately.^[2] Snape seems to explain a bit more about the link between Harry and Voldemort, telling Harry to "pray" the Dark Lord remains ignorant of it.
Cho's Age	In the books, Cho is a year ahead of Harry.	During the scene after Cho and Harry's kiss, Hermione comments that Cho is experiencing a lot of confusing feelings, one of which is nervousness about her upcoming OWLs. This would put Cho as the same year as Harry.
Harry and Cho Chang	Harry and Cho Chang date on Valentine's Day, after their first kiss in the Room of Requirement, and on the date they row about Cedric Diggory and Hermione. Cho seems jealous of Hermione's friendship with Harry, who doesn't understand why she is upset and the pair argue. Cho leaves in tears. Later they have a shouting fight about Marietta telling Umbridge, after the D.A. is discovered. They do not talk to each other afterwards and soon break up with amidst bad feelings.

Divination Post	Umbridge expels Trelawney from her teaching post, however Dumbledore allows Trelawney to remain at Hogwarts despite losing her job. Firenze is established as the new teacher by Dumbledore after he is banished from the Forbidden Forest. Dumbledore also restates the Educational Decree which allows the Ministry of Magic to assign a teacher for a subject only if the Headmaster of Hogwarts is unable to do so and the trio find out why the school employed Umbridge.	Umbridge expels Trelawney from her teaching post, however Dumbledore allows Trelawney to remain at Hogwarts despite losing her job. Firenze or a new divination teacher is never mentioned. It was also never mentioned why Dumbledore allowed Umbridge to be employed in Hogwarts.
Centaurs' hostility towards Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic	Relations between the centaurs and humans have been tense for quite some time, and finally boil over when Firenze accepts Dumbledore's offer to take the Divinations position, as the centaurs see him as a traitor.	Hagrid tells Harry, Ron, and Hermione that the Ministry has been taking away vast amounts of land in the Forbidden Forest, thus taking away much of the centaurs' land.
Pensieve Scene/Snape's Worst Memory	Whilst Snape is called away in the middle of Harry’s private Occlumency lesson, Harry looks into Dumbledore's Pensieve, being used by Snape to conceal private memories from Harry. In it, he views the end of Snape's O.W.L. exam many years ago, and as the students exit onto the grounds, Harry views his father, Sirius, Lupin and Wormtail (the Marauders). James is cocky and Sirius is big-headed, Lupin is slightly disapproving (and is a Prefect) and Wormtail is eager to please and seems to worship James. James then bulllies and taunts Snape (who walks past with his nose stuck in the O.W.L exam paper) while the rest of the Marauders look on. Lily Evans makes an appearance and scolds James, telling him to leave Snape alone. James and Sirius bully Snape, calling him 'Snivellus', but Lupin does not look pleased about it. Snape then calls Lily a "mudblood" and she replies coldly. James makes it clear he fancies Lily but she does not appear to return the feelings at all. Harry is watching all this when he looks up and sees the present day Snape, shaking with anger. He drags Harry out of his memory and out of the Pensieve. When they 'land' back in Snape's office, Snape is scarily angry and screams at Harry to get out, throwing things at him. Harry is distressed by the image he gets of his father and godfather and later questions Sirius on why they acted like that. Sirius explains they were being silly, and that they always hated Snape, who favoured dark magic and was cruel. Harry remains shaken by the image of Snape as bully victim, instead of the bully.

In spite of Snape being the most powerful Occlumens in the series, Harry's Protego spell is able to deeply penetrate Snape's mind. This gives Harry a glimpse of Snape's childhood memory of James Potter performing a spell on Snape with the Maurauders in the background. Lily and the Pensieve are completely cut. Although Harry successfully casts a Protego spell in the book he only glimpses random irrelevant memories. This may be an issue in the film for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, in which this event plays an important role related to Snape's backstory.
Fred and George's Plans for the Joke Shop	The twins plan to create a Joke Shop and finally announce it to everyone before their flight away from Hogwarts. The location is Diagon Alley. It is also stated during the book that they got the money from Harry after he got the winnings at the Triwizard tournament last year.	Nothing is stated about their joke shop. They left school, not stating where or what they are going to do, although an earlier scene alludes to the Weasley twins' testing of Puking Pastilles on students, and a huge 'W' logo made out of fireworks hangs in the air as they fly off. Umbridge also bans all Weasley-related products.
Hagrid introducing Grawp	While Ron is playing Keeper during a Quidditch match (Harry is banned from matches by Umbridge and Ginny takes his place), Hagrid leads Harry and Hermione into the Forbidden Forest, where he introduces them to his brother Grawp and asks them to take care of him in his absence in case Umbridge fires him. Harry and Hermione have a much more negative reaction to the giant, and Hermione in particular is appalled at what Hagrid has asked them to do.	Hagrid searches out Harry, Ron, and Hermione in the school, where he leads all three in the forest and asks them the same question. Both are initially hesitant, but quickly warm to the giant.
Lessons	The most basic of education - lessons - make up the bulk of the time spent in Hogwarts. Lessons ranging from Astronomy, Care of Magical Creatures, Divination, Charms, Defense Against The Dark Arts, Potions and more are being elaborated. The stress of the O.W.L. Examinations are being laid and the ground of foundation for the importance of these examinations are also placed.	No classes other than Umbridge’s Defence Against The Dark Arts and brief scenes set in Potions and Divination are ever shown in the film.
O.W.L. Examinations	The book shows numerous O.W.L. examinations, including practical demonstrations conducted by external examiners. In the Defense Against The Dark Arts Practical Examination, Harry's professor is impressed with his abilities and urges him to show him a full corporeal Patronus for a bonus point.	Only one O.W.L. Examination is shown, administered by Umbridge, during which Fred and George Weasley decide to pull their last prank on Umbridge. Nothing is mentioned about external examiners.
Fred and George	Fred and George cause havoc in school by setting off magical fireworks and creating an enchanted swamp in one of the hallways, then summoning their broomsticks that had been held by Umbridge and flying off. The instructors call on Umbridge to deal with the fireworks instead of taking action. Umbridge is incapable of removing the swamp, and no other teacher takes action. The swamp is ultimately removed by Professor Flitwick once Umbridge leaves, except for a small portion in memory of the twins.	After disrupting O.W.L.s with fireworks, Fred and George leave on their brooms. There is no swamp, and the fireworks go out on their own.
Neville Longbottom	Neville's role is greatly expanded and he becomes much more confident as the DA makes his magical ability greatly improve.	Neville has a smaller role than in the book. Additionally, the background of Neville's parents is not explained as thoroughly and the scene at St. Mungo's is cut.
Harry's Fake Vision	Harry's fake vision of Sirius Black being tortured in the Prophecy room in the Department of Mysteries happens during his History of Magic O.W.L. Exam Hermione warns him it could be fake but Harry doesn't believe her until the Death Eaters show up in the Hall of Prophecies. Later, Dumbledore explains to Harry how Voldemort became aware of their connection when Harry witnessed the attack on Arthur Weasley and used it to his (Voldemort's) advantage by luring Harry to the ministry.	Happens during the Fred and George stunt, which was pulled during the charms O.W.L.
Umbridge's Fireplace	Harry sneaks into Umbridge's office to conduct an urgent check on Sirius after his false vision, via the floo network. He meets Kreacher, who lies to Harry that Sirius is indeed at the Department of Mysteries. Harry panics, and at the same time, Umbridge returns and pulls Harry out.	Harry attempts to use the floo network but before he can do so, Umbridge returns.
Umbridge and the Dementors	It is eventually revealed that Umbridge set the Dementors on Harry to remove the "threat" Harry posed to Fudge. It is likely this was meant to kill Harry, not just to provoke an "illegal use of underage magic" charge. Umbridge states that she kept this from Fudge.	It is not mentioned that Umbridge sent the Dementors and the incident is left unexplained, although Dumbledore hints it could have been Voldemort's work.
The Prophecy	Harry took the Prophecy and after an intense battle at the Department of Mysteries, the Prophecy is destroyed by accident by Neville, meaning none of the Death Eaters at the scene know what it is about. However, at the end, Dumbledore explains it in thorough detail to Harry, telling him that it was Trelawney who made the prophecy during a job interview with Dumbledore almost 16 years ago. Dumbledore also tells Harry the entire Prophecy. He says a spy for Voldemort was eavesdropping that night (they were in the Hogs Head) and heard half the Prophecy before being removed. This spy then told Voldemort the first half, which states "the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord" will be born in July to parents who thrice defied Voldemort, who would "mark him as his equal" and that this baby would have "power the Dark Lord knows not". The spy told Voldemort the first half, and Voldemort immediately started looking for new born babies. He found Neville and Harry and chose Harry to attack. Because the spy (allegedly) did not hear all the Prophecy, he could not tell Voldemort that to attack this baby would be to risk transferring power to it (marking him as his equal). Dumbledore explains that, after returning to full power, Voldemort wanted to hear the whole prophecy and he can't now because only Dumbledore knows the whole thing (and now, Harry).	Upon grabbing the Prophecy, Harry watches as half of it is recited from a voice within the orb. Although it is clear that Harry hears the prophecy, it is unclear if his friends hear it, or Lucius Malfoy who was sneaking up on them from the shadows. Throughout the movie, the complete prophecy is neither heard nor explained by Dumbledore at all, nor is it made clear why Voldemort is going to such great lengths to obtain it. The origin of the Prophecy, who the Seer is, who heard the Prophecy and what it means for Harry (and Neville) is not explained by Dumbledore to Harry, except for when Harry alludes to the fact that "neither can live while the other survives", meaning that one of them will have to kill the other in the end. The Prophecy is given to Lucius, who drops it by accident during a struggle.
The Battle of the Department of Mysteries	Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Ginny and Luna are chased from the room containing the prophecies. While attempting to escape, Hermione sustains serious injury and becomes incapacitated. In the confusion, Harry and Neville are then pursued to the entrance of the department by the Death Eaters. Once there, they find Ron, who was hit by a spell, as well as Ginny, who had a broken ankle. Harry and Neville run with Ron into the Thought Room of the department, which is filled with rows of green aquariums, each containing a brain. Ron is attacked by the brains and Luna is knocked unconscious. Harry and Neville are then chased into the Death Chamber which holds the archway with the black veil. Harry is confronted by Lucius Malfoy and instructed to hand over the prophecy. Reinforcements arrive in the form of Dumbledore and the rest of the Order of the Phoenix, and in the ensuing battle, the prophecy is destroyed accidentally by Neville while he and Harry are attempting to escape, and Sirius is murdered by his cousin Bellatrix Lestrange with a spell, which pushes him through the Veil.	In the film, the battle is condensed into three rooms (the room holding the prophecies, the Death Chamber and the entrance hall) and none of the characters sustain any serious injuries, instead each of harry's friends are held hostage by the death eaters around him and told they will be killed if harry does not give lucius the prophecy ( which harry does give him ). Leading to the members of the order coming and saving them starting the battle. Luna Lovegood uses the Levicorpus spell against a Death Eater even though this spell, invented by the "Half-Blood Prince" as a student at Hogwarts, is not discovered until the sixth book when Harry is given the "Half-Blood Prince's" old potion book and is meant to be used nonverbally. The portion in the Thought Room is omitted. Sirius, after mistakenly referring to Harry as his father James, gets hit by the killing curse then falls backwards through the Veil and disappears. Mad-Eye Moody does not use a wand, instead uses his walking stick to perform spells as it hits the floor.
Sirius's Death	Sirius has a complex duel with his cousin, Bellatrix. In the battle, he becomes cocky and taunts her about not being able to hit him. In that moment, Bellatrix hits him with a stunning spell which pushes him through the veil. Harry expects him to come back but when he doesn't, Lupin explains that he is dead. Harry is very distressed and cries, both later in Dumbledore's office and also a few days later on his own in the Castle grounds.	In the film, Sirius and Bellatrix never duel. Instead she apparates behind him after he and Harry defeat Malfoy and the other death eater. She casts Avada Kedavra instead of Stupefy. Sirius's complexion becomes slightly paler and his eyes become less reflective, as the life is drained from him (reflecting the draining of his life with a drain from his appearance) as he falls back into the veil and is pulled visibly up and away, fading as he does so. Harry's initial reaction to Sirius's death is portrayed. However, after that scene, there is only one other time where Sirius's death is mentioned to Harry and that is by Luna who tells Harry "I'm sorry about your Godfather". This scene occurs after Harry and Dumbledore discuss the Prophecy back at Hogwarts.
Bellatrix v. Harry	After Bellatrix murders Sirius, Harry chases her to the entrance hall and duels her briefly. Upon using the Cruciatus curse on her, she tells him he is incapable of doing it. They have a brief conversation prior to Voldemort's arrival.	Harry chases Bellatrix to the entrance hall, casting a Cruciatus curse at Bellatrix's back as she runs. The curse does not work, only causing her to fall to the ground. Voldemort arrives and informs Harry that he must "mean" the curse in order for it to work, and insists that Bellatrix "deserves it" after murdering Sirius.
Dumbledore v. Voldemort	Dumbledore arrives in time to protect Harry from a killing curse, bringing to life the golden statues around the fountain at the Ministry of Magic and engaging Voldemort in a duel. Voldemort fires off many killing curse at Dumbledore; Fawkes swallows one curse and bursts. A baby phoenix is seen emerging from the ashes. At one point Voldemort conjures a silver shield out of thin air to protect himself, after which Dumbledore traps him with a whip made of fire. Voldemort transfigures the whip into a snake, which charges at Dumbledore, who, with a slash of his wand, simultaneously destroys the snake and causes the water within the fountain to rise and encase Voldemort like a "coccoon of molten glass." Voldemort struggles to get free, then Apparates away to possess Harry. Dumbledore is described as being calm and collected during the duel, discussing with Voldemort his view on death.	In the film, the statues don't come to life, though they are still depicted. Dumbledore arrives by the Floo Network after Voldemort disarms Harry. Dumbledore's and Voldemort's wands connect similar to Priori Incantatem, though they don't share the same core. With Dumbledore slowly advancing, Voldemort slashes his wand to break the connection, also trying to strike Harry from behind Dumbedore, though he continues to miss and hit the wall. He creates a giant molten snake (which can be assumed might be Fiendfyre, though Fiendfyre is first presented in Deathly Hallows), which lunges at Dumbledore, who stops it with a slash of his wand and sends the remains back at Voldemort in a wave of fire. Voldemort falls back trying to stop the fire, but before he can recover Dumbledore waves his wand and causes the water within the fountain to engulf him similar to a "coccoon of molten glass" as read from the novel. While trapped within the water, Voldemort tries to send a curse at Harry, who moves to get a better view, but Dumbledore quickly knocks him back. Voldemort frees himself and prepares to send off a curse, but Dumbledore quickly stops him with an unknown spell. Voldemort breaks free of it with a scream, knocking Dumbledore down and shattering the many glass windows within the Ministry. He sends the glass fragments at Dumbledore and Harry, though Dumbledore turns the glass into sand before it reaches them. Voldemort Apparates away, seemingly defeated. Fawkes is not present in the duel.
Harry's possession by Voldemort	Voldemort possesses Harry's body as a last effort against Dumbledore. Harry thinks of Sirius and his love for his godfather expels Voldemort from his body. Dumbledore later explains Voldemort was trying to get Dumbledore to kill Harry in the hopes it would also kill Voldemort, and that Voldemort felt so much pain while possessing Harry that he would probably not try to possess him ever again. Afterwards, Voldemort goes back to save Bellatrix and is seen by Fudge before Apparating away, revealing that the Dark Lord has truly returned.	Voldemort possesses Harry's body like in the novel, except that Harry recalls various experiences such as Cedric and Sirius' deaths. Voldemort taunts him, calling him weak and vulnerable. Finally, Harry sees his friends emerging alive from the battle in the Ministry and recalls their moments spent together as well as Sirius. These positive thoughts expel Voldemort from his body, but Voldemort stands over Harry, everything (including Dumbledore) suspended in time, telling Harry he is a fool and will lose everything. Cornelius Fudge and the Aurors appear, catching a glimpse as Voldemort Apparates away.
Dumbledore and Harry's talk at the end	After the incident at the Department of Mysteries, Harry goes alone to Dumbledore's office, where dawn is breaking over the Castle. He waits there, angry and upset. Dumbledore returns and watches at first calmly, and then looking distressed, as Harry lets out his grief at Sirius' death by shouting at Dumbledore and breaking many objects in his office. Dumbledore asks Harry to sit and hear his confession first, so that Harry will know everything there is to yell about. Dumbledore tells him all about the Prophecy, a bit about the link between Harry and Voldemort, and explains the events of the evening, even blaming himself for Sirius' death, because he should have realized Sirius did not want to be cooped up in Grimmauld Place. He says Snape contacted the Order and Sirius after Harry's message and says Kreacher, Sirius' house elf, was part of a plot to lure Harry to the Ministry. Harry seizes on the chance to blame Snape and the elf for what happened but Dumbledore stops him. He says he made a plan many years ago to protect Harry, and as his love for the boy grew, he put off telling him about the Prophecy because he wanted to save him more pain. Dumbledore also explains how the prophecy originally could have applied to Neville or Harry, but Voldemort's attack on Harry has cemented that Harry is the one referred to in the prophecy. He tells Harry that Voldemort may have chosen him because he recognised himself in the baby - both are half-bloods. Dumbledore affirms that either Harry or Voldemort will end up killing the other. He tells Harry why he has to live with the Dursleys, even though a wizard family (such as the Weasleys) might be more appropriate and loving. Dumbledore built a spell on Lily's sacrifice for Harry, so that as long as Harry lives with someone who shares his and Lily's blood, he is protected from Voldemort. Lily's only living blood family is Petunia Dursley. At the end of this scene Dumbledore has tears on his face and Harry is quiet and sad, his anger mostly abated. â€œHP7â€ redirects here. ...
