She said I missed it when I left to get the manager to come do something about the kid behind us throwing his popcorn and spilling soda down people's back while mommy  ignored him.This is so different from the book and I agree with you now knowing about the scene that this is WTF Jump the Shark moment because there is no way that mass torture like that would be allowed by either the teachers or anyone else. I hope the rest of the movies are not like this but giving the size of the books and the more complex plots I am not holding out much hope.The only reason I can think off why they changed it for the movie is that took out so many of the other things Umbrage was doing like giving Harry, George and Fred a lifetime ban from Quiditch. Or her causing Hedwig to be hurt. That they added scenes to make sure we knew just how bad she was.</blockquote>
