Things missing from the Order of Phoenix movie (Part II)

Important events left out in the movie.

  • Harry, Ginny and Neville met Luna Lovegood in the train, while Ron and Hermione are suppsed to be at the prefect carriage. She was holding the Quibbler upside down with her wand behind her ears. She was reading it upside down because "according to the magazine, if you turned the runes on their heads they revealed a spell to make your enemy's ears turn into kumquats."

  • The sorting hat always sing a different song every year and this time the important lines were "For our Hogwarts is in danger. From external, deadly foes. And we must unite inside her. Or we'll crumble from within. I have told you, I have warned you… Let the Sorting now begin."

  • Hermione asked if it has ever given warnings before, Nearly Headless Nick said "The Hat feels itself honour bound to give the school due warning whenever it feels."

  • Angelina is made captain of Griffindor's Quidditch team.

  • OWLs (Ordinary Wizarding Levels) will affect their career choices and Harry and Ron both wanted to be Aurors. Hermione wanted to take SPEW further. They had to do well in OWLs to take the subject's NEWTs (Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests) next year.

  • In Divination classes, Professor Trelawney wants the class to make predictions for themselves as homework. Harry and Ron made up rubbish accidents which they will have throughout the weeks and got high scores from Trelawney.

  • During Defends against the Dark Arts, Umbridge kept saying "your hand is not up" when students ask her questions. This is more annoying in the book than in the movie.

  • After given detention, and saying "Cedric death is not an accident, it was murder" to Umbridge, she write a letter and asked Harry to pass it to Professor McGonagall. At McGonagall's office, she told him "to be careful with Umbridge" and "Misbehaviour in Dolores Umbridges class could cost you much more than house points and a detention." and Umbridge has given Harry detention every evening that week and Professor McGonagall said Umbridge has every right to give him detention as a teacher.

  • Fred and George gave first year students joke sweets for testing which could get them out of classes by pretending to be sick. Hermione uses her "prefect power" to confront Fred and George but they said respectively "Put us in detention?" and "Make us write lines?" Hermione replied no, but said "I will write to your mother." Fred and George looked thunderstruck.

  • Hermione knits many hats and hoped House Elves from Hogwarts would pick them up and they'll be free like Dobby. Ron said "You're setting them free when they might not want to be free."

  • Professor GrubblyPlank replaced Hagrid while he's away as a Care of Magical Creatures teacher. She's a much better teacher than Hagrid.

  • During Harry's detention where he wrote lines and each line will make the words cut into the back of his hand as though by a scalpel. His skin will heal again leaving it more sore at every lines he wrote. Harry's scar on his forehead hurts again during detention. Remember this went on for every evening that week, unlike the movie. Because of detention, Harry struggles to finish his homework.

  • Ron went for the tryouts for Keeper. Harry is unable to be at the tryout because of detention. Harry went to their common room after detention to find Ron celebrating with the rest as the new Griffindor keeper.

  • Harry did not want to "disturb" Dumbledore because of the torture from Umbridge because Dumbledore would not look at him during the hearing and in Grimmauld Place.

  • Harry's letter to Sirius does not use straightforward words because of the fear of letters being intercepted. In his letter, he mentioned the same thing happened last summer happened again is referring to his scar hurting during Umbridge's detention.

  • As he went to sent the letter, he saw Cho in the Owlery. Filch appears and accuse Harry for taking orders of Dungs bombs. Cho defended for Harry. Cho praised Harry for being brave to stand up to Umbridge which made Harry very pleased.

  • Ron is always clumsy and did badly as a keeper during practises. But when he was with Harry alone, he did well.

  • The grades used in Hogwart's were. E=Exceeds Expectations. O=Outstanding. A=Acceptable. P=Poor. D=Dreadful. T=troll.
