This was a great episode!

I had completely forgotten about the mirror in Moody's office in the book and movie, so I really enjoyed hearing the details and Ellen and Keighty's perspectives on that. One thing that I hated in the movie was when Ernie and Hannah were mean to Harry because Hannah never would have been a bully and Ernie might have said something to Harry in the book, but he didn't, so I would have preferred to see random students bullying Harry in the movie (if we had to see it at all). I also think that Cedric's personality from the book was not portrayed well in the movie. Keighty and Ellen hit the nail on the head when they said he was cocky. I personally did not enjoy seeing the ferret in Crabbe's pants lol but I was very happy to see that book scene come to life in the movie, even if it happened a little differently and at a different time. I also HATED how Harry went up to Ron to insult him in the movie. Yes, we all know Harry was not the brightest, but Ron had Hermione tell Harry that Hagrid was looking for Harry, and then Hagrid made the comment, "didn't Ron tell you?" Come on Harry! Regardless of all the made up he-said-she-said, obviously once Hagrid said that, Harry should have put it together that it was really just Ron telling him. I thought Harry's awkward diss was a really poor way of showing Harry and Ron's situation. Boo movie writers! Boo Newell!
