Sorcerer's Stone Movie

[t***@gmail.com]

In the movie, Hagrid shows Harry, Ron, and Hermione his hatching dragon's egg, and then Draco sees it (and goes off to tattletale on the other three). The next we know, the 4 kids have been sentenced to detention, and Dumbledore has sent the baby dragon off to a colony. But why wasn't Hagrid punished for possessing the dragon's egg? McGonagal admits that Draco's motives were honorable, but Draco is still in trouble for being out of bed. (Hogwarts, where no good deed goes unpunished?).

In the book, IIRC, Neville (not Ron) was one the the 4 in detention. Harry and Hermione helped Hagrid smuggle the dragon away, without Dumbledore knowing about it. Neville had tried to warn Harry and Hermione that Dracon was onto them. Draco tried to tell McGonagal about the dragon, but I think that she thought that Harry et al had made up the dragon story to get Draco in trouble. That would explain why Draco lost only 20 points, whereas the other three lost 50 points each!

Harry, Ron, and Hermione are trying to get to the Sorcerer's Stone. During the wizard chess game portion, the pieces get smashed. I assume that the pieces would also have gotten smashed when Quirrel/Voldemort were playing the chess game. Yet the chess pieces were all intact when Harry et al arrived!

Its magic, the pieces reset themselves for a new game.

Movie: Ron rides one of the chess pieces, but Harry walks on the chess board alone. Shouldn't he be riding a chess piece also?

After Ron is clobbered, Harry leaves Hermione with him. I wondered how he was going to figure out the Potions riddle without her, but instead of encountering the Potions, he went straight to the Erisid Mirror chamber to meet Voldemort.

Hermione walks as well..

Believe they left out the potions, as its bad example for younger viewers.
