This actually occurs in book six, not OotP. I'm re-reading Half Blood Prince right now.

I remember Lupin saying, "Hello, Harry," but did he even have any other dialogue?
Hijinks said:I enjoyed the movie but I thought that they crammed too much stuff into it. It was understandable that they did, of course (and I'm probably the only person alive who was relieved to have NO QUIDDITCH, but ah well), but I know there were some things that my friends (who have not read the books) missed.
I'm rather hoping they continue to ignore the "sport" in future movies.
I agree that the Seeker is important because their catching of the Golden Snitch stops the game, but just catching it doesn't mean you win. Remember the World Cup where Krum caught the Snitch but his team still lost?buzzard said:Why else would a team sport be so over focused on the performance of one individual?
Hijinks said:Hear, hear. Although I understand the need for it - the books *are* written with children or preteens in mind, and things like Quidditch and the Yule Ball and boys asking girls out, etc, are designed for those readers.

It seems to merely be a plot device invented so that Harry would be important to his house. Why else would a team sport be so over focused on the performance of one individual? I'm rather hoping they continue to ignore the "sport" in future movies.
