I think I will just stick to reading the book and skip the movie a.k.a. half baked lies. @Priya: Usually, when book rights are bought at staggering prices from the author to make into a movie, the author's chances of having a say are cut and the price is agreed and paid. Thats how it is in the Indian publishing scene, don't know if its radically different in UK. @Palash: R u serious? @Romila: I haven’t seen the film yet coz I wanted to read the book first.

In the book, Dumbledore says, "There was no Dark Mark." In the movie, Dumbledore says, "Dragon Blood." To me, saying that it was the Dark Mark immediately sets the climate for the movie because it is about the fear that is spreading among the people. How did making it Dragon's Blood help???
