* Possible YMMV, but there is one scene that the movie does better than the book: In the book, Harry kills the Basilisk, is poisoned, and is then saved by Fawkes. Voldemort comments on Phoenix's healing powers before Harry destroys the diary. In the movie, Harry destroys Voldemort before Fawkes heals him; Ginny wakes up to see him still wounded. He ignores the fact that he's dying, and tries only to calm her down and get her out of the chamber safely. Because that is the kind of person Harry is.

* When Harry gets called to talk to Dumbledore after the attack on Justin and Nick, he worries he's going to be accused. Apparently Hagrid had the same worry, because he immediately bursts in swearing up and down that he was with Harry only minutes before the attack, and he'd swear in front of the Ministry itself if he had to. Granted, that's not at all what Dumbledore wanted, but it's still sweet.

to:

* At the end of the novel, Ginny of course blames herself, despite the fact that this is in no way her fault. And Dumbledore tells her as much, getting her some hot chocolate and assuring her that she's not the first (or, sadly, the last) to be conned by Lord Voldemort, and that no punishment will come to her.

* A very brief moment, but Percy gives some simple advice to Harry when the latter is choosing his course list for third year; no condescension and almost no bluster. Granted, Harry doesn't consider it helpful, but points for trying.
