Umm, you are blaiming the wrong people there. The material that was left in or out is because of Steve Kloves, the screenwriter.
Maybe OotP will be different because it is written by a different guy.
I was going to post one of these topics too because my contract is up in June and I was thinking of switching to Cingular (I have Verizon.)
I like the new Sliver phone or however you spell it.
Ahhh, I see. I just finished PoA but my school library doesn't have GoF, so I have to buy it or something. It is kind of weird reading the books 5,6,1,2,3.

Dumbledore has a brother named Aberforth who was a part of the original Order of the Phoenix. Aberforth is sort of reclusive ever since he was accused of performing inappropriate magic on goats (it's not explained any further than that in the book so take it as you will). In OotP it says that the barkeep at the Hog's Head smells like goats and "looks familliar" (Harry saw a picture of Aberforth in OotP when Moody showed him the old picture of the Order). A fan asked JKR once if that was just coincidence and JKR was real cryptic with her answer. I think she said "You're very observant" or something like that. So speculation is abound that the barkeep is Aberforth.
I don't remember that from OotP at all.
