Differences from the book
By Hollywood's standards the film was very true to the book, though some notable scenes (such as the Death-day party and Lockhart's valentine celebration) are left out. Also, most of the foreshadowing hints that Ginny is acting strange are left out as well.
Also, instead of simply trying to attack Harry for losing him Dobby, Lucius Malfoy tries to use the killing curse Avada Kedavra before Dobby stuns him.
