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

Important events left out in the movie.

  • During one of Defense against Dark Arts classes, Hermione disagreed with some points in the textbook and Umbridge took 5 points away from Griffindor. Harry ask "What for?" angrily and Umbridge said "for disrupting my class with pointless interruptions." She mention Prof. Quirrell is the only teacher so far to have restricted himself to age-appropriate subjects. Harry retorted with "Yeah Quirrell was a great teacher, there was just that minor drawback of him having Lord Voldemort stick out of the back of his head." This earned him another week of detention.

  • Angelina shouted at Harry for getting into another detention which make him missed quidditch practise again with Prof. McGonagall taking away 5 points for Angelina shouting in the Great Hall. She took yet another 5 points when she found out Harry got into another detention.

  • During her ministry inspection with McGonagall, Umbridge kept interrupting her with her "hem hem" and Prof. McGonagall in fury told her "how you expect to gain an idea of my usual teaching methods if you continue to interrupt me? You see, I do not generally permit people to talk when I am talking."

  • Ginny had a boyfriend named Michael Corner whom she met at the Yule Ball.

  • Hermione casted a jinx on the DA parchment. Whoever signs on it will be cursed with acnes if they were to tell Umbridge about their secret meetings to learn Defense against Dark Arts.

  • Neville charged at Malfoy because he said the St Mungo's hospital (which Neville's parent is in) is for people whose brains have been addled by magic. Snape appears and put Harry, Neville and Malfoy in detention.

  • From the fireplace, Sirius told them Mundungus was the one who were eavesdropping on them at Hog's head when they were discussing about the DA, which made Umbridge put a ban on "illegal societies". This includes Quidditch clubs and Umbridge at first only gave Slytherins permission to practice.

  • Dobby is now working at the school for a small sum of money which Dumbledore agrees. Dumbledore wanted to pay him more at first but Dobby doesn't want to accept it. Dobby refused to work for free after he was freed by Harry. Dobby is the one who gave Harry the idea of the room of Requirement for practicing Defense against Dark Arts, not discovered by Neville like in the movie.

  • Harry always uses Lupin's parchment where it shows everyone on the map, to see where Umbridge and Filch is whenever they want to use the Room of Requirement.

  • Hermione said the Defense against Dark Arts secret class taught by Harry should have a name, to promote a feeling of team spirit and unity. "Anti-Umbridge League" is suggested by Angelina. "Ministry of Magic are Morons Group" is suggested by Fred. Cho suggested "The Defense Association", which is DA for short and everyone agrees. Ginny suggests making it stand for Dumbledore's Army because "that's the Ministry's worst fear".

  • Hermione enchanted coins which has numerals around the edge which is the date for the next DA meeting which will change whenever Harry changed the date on his. She got the idea from Death Eaters' scars burning whenever Voldemort needs them.

  • First Quidditch match is Griffindor vs Slytherin. The Slytherins sang this before the match "Weasley cannot save a thing, He cannot block a single ring, Thats why Slytherins all sing: Weasley is our King. Weasley was born in a bin. He always lets the Quaffle in. Weasley will make sure we win. Weasley is our King." which makes Ron even more nervous.

  • Ron let in a lot of goals but Harry got the snitch and won the match. Malfoy insulted Harry and the Weasleys and George wanted to punch Malfoy but was held back by Harry. Malfoy continued "you can remember what your mothers house stank like, Potter, and Weasley's pigsty reminds you of it" With the snitch in his hand, Harry punched Malfoy in the stomach. McGonagall wanted to give them detention but Umbridge appears and banned Harry and George from Quidditch for life. Even Fred is banned because Umbridge thinks he would do the same.

to be continued...

I read the fifth book again just before seeing the movie, and there are not only things missing, the events that take place are mixed and are out of place, cronologically. For example, when Harry sees the snake attacking Mr. Weasley in his dream, he is taken by Snape to the dungeons to learn occlumency. In the book he goes with the Weasley´s to the Burrow for Christmas and to St. Mungo´s to visit Arthur. There they found Neville an Gilderoy Lockhart. This is so totally false. And Trelawney gets sacked at the beginning, but in the book this happens much further. And so on.
