Plot summary
Just as Harry Potter is packing his bags to leave the Dursleys, he receives a warning from a house-elf named Dobby, that if Harry goes back to Hogwarts, disaster will strike, and it does.
The new stuck-up Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher Gilderoy Lockhart, the wailing bathroom ghost Moaning Myrtle, and the new lessons at Hogwarts seem like only minor details when a mysterious creature starts Petrifying Muggle-born students. But everyone's wondering the same thing: who set the creature on the Muggle-borns? Could it be Draco Malfoy, the new Slytherin Seeker and a more poisonous rival than ever? Maybe it's Hagrid, whose strange past is finally told. Or could it possibly be the one that everyone at Hogwarts most suspects: Harry Potter himself!
Differences from the book
1. The Worst Birthday
- The book begins in the morning of Harry's birthday. The film begins in the evening of the day the Masons visit, omitting Dobby in the hedges and additional quarrels between Harry and the Dursleys. However Vernon does say that Harry is not thankful; Vernon says they cared for Harry since he was a baby, gave him their good food, and giving him Dudley's extra bedroom because they were so merciful.
2. Dobby's Warning
- In the book, when Harry enters his room, Dobby sits on his bed quietly. In the film, Dobby jumps on his bed, and laughing.
- Dobby does not mention that Voldemort, or a possible brother could be a suspect, as in the book version.
- In the books, whenever Dobby disapparates, the usual loud crack is heard. But in the films, Dobby appears and disappears quietly, however it differs from film to film how he does it. In this film he fades, like if the wind took him.
- The film shows Dobby levitating the cake into the sitting room and dropping it on top of Mrs Mason. In the book, however, the pudding dropped by Dobby in the kitchen, causing it to explode all over Harry, not Mrs Mason. Also in the film. Mr. Mason tastes the cake, using a finger.
- While the reason in the film for the Mason's departure was due to the cake dropping on Mrs. Mason, in the book it was due to Mrs. Mason's fear of birds when an owl sent by the Ministry of Magic arrived at the Dursleys in regards to the illegal use of the Hover Charm that was performed.
- A scene is cut where the Ministry sends a letter to reprimand Harry for violating the Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery, which informed the Dursleys of this rule. This explains in the following film how Vernon Dursley already knew that Harry is not allowed to perform magic outside of school. Since this scene was not included in this film, it caused a continuity error with the future films.
- In the book, Uncle Vernon tells a man to fit the bars on Harry's window, but in the film, Uncle Vernon fits the bars on Harry's window himself.
- Harry's nightmare of himself being in a zoo cage is omitted.
3. The Burrow
- In the film, Ron wishes Harry a happy birthday when they fly away from 4 Privet Drive. Ron doesn't say this in the book as Harry's birthday was the same day the Masons visited. It should be mentioned that in the film the Weasleys gets Harry out the same evening, while in the book they saved him from the Dursleys early in the morning, next day.
- In the book, Harry's trunk is locked in the cupboard under the stairs and Fred and George sneak in the house and pick the lock of both Harry's room and the cupboard. In the film, Harry's trunk is in his room and Fred and George don't sneak in the house.
- In the book, Harry forgets Hedwig, but he gets to her just in time. In the film, Harry doesn't forget anything.
- When Harry was escaping from the Dursleys, only Uncle Vernon tried to prevent him from escaping, eventually falling out of the window. In the book, all of the Dursleys tried to prevent him from escaping, only to end up hanging from the window.
- In the Flying Ford Anglia the Weasley brothers suggest that Dobby could be an untrustworthy servant of the Malfoys. This is omitted from the film.
- In the book, when Harry arrives at the Weasleys' home, Mrs. Weasley makes her sons "de-gnome" the garden. This scene is omitted from the film.
4. Flourish and Blotts
- The scene where Harry listens to Lucius and Draco Malfoy's business with Borgin is cut. It is included in the deleted scenes section of the DVD. (An alternate version of the same scene, where Harry is caught by Borgin was also filmed and included on the DVD.) In this scene Lucius almost hits Draco two times with his walking stick when telling him not to touch anything. This could be meant in reference to the cursed necklace.
- In the book, Mr. Weasley repairs Harry's glasses in Diagon Alley, but in the film, Hermione repairs them and the knowledge of her using under-age magic is unnoticed. Though it is revealed in one of the following books that the Ministry of Magic only knows where there is used magic and not who it is that is using magic. (This explains why Harry is believed to be the one to perform the levitating spell on the pudding though it is Dobby. Also this could explain why Hermione didn't get a letter on the Hogwarts Express in the previous film; too many students and pre-students, plus two adults.)
- The part where Arthur Weasley fights with Lucius Malfoy in Flourish and Blotts is omitted. Instead, they only exchange tense words. Lucius also mentions that he will "see you [Arthur] at work", implying that he works at the Ministry of Magic in the film.
- When they meet in Diagon Alley, Hermione chides Lucius Malfoy for not using Voldemort's name. (In the first two films, Hermione shows no fear of the name Voldemort, speaking it without difficulty in the first film) In the books, Hermione never uses the name Voldemort until the fifth novel, and even then it requires courage. The films have a bit of a continuity issue on this point as the fifth film shows her getting the courage to say "Voldemort".
- Arthur Weasley asks Harry about escalators in the book, but in the film, he asks about rubber duckies.
5. The Whomping Willow
- In the film, when Ron and Harry are following the Hogwarts Express with the Flying Ford Anglia, Harry falls out of the car and hangs onto the door, when Ron pulls him back up. Also in the film, Ron flies the Flying Ford Anglia onto the train tracks and they suddenly hear the train from behind and fly off just in time. In the book neither of these events happen.
- In the film, Argus Filch finds Harry and Ron and takes them to Professor Snape's office, but in the book, Snape himself finds Harry and Ron and takes them to his office.
- In the book, Ron and Harry ate dinner in Snape's office after being caught by Snape. Ron wanted to know which house Ginny was placed in and Professor McGonagall told him she was placed in Gryffindor with the rest of her family. This scene was not in the film. Instead Ron finds out about Ginny sorting into Gryffindor by his mother's howler.
6. Gilderoy Lockhart
- In the book, Mrs. Weasley's howler to Ron is much lengthier and mentions Harry in it. In the film the howler message is much shorter and Harry is never mentioned, instead a part of the howler was directed to Ginny. Also in the book, there is no mention of howlers folding themselves into a pair of lips.
- Howler bursts into flames in the book but rips itself into shreds in the film, with a grrr-sound.
- Lockhart's scene with Professor Sprout before the first Herbology lesson of the year, in which he implied that he knew more about caring for Whomping Willows than she did, is omitted.
- The scenes in which Lockhart lectures Harry for giving out autographs (due to Colin's actual request in the book) and makes him late for Herbology, are not seen in the film.
- Defence Against the Dark Arts shows both Hufflepuffs (Justin Finch-Fletchley and Susan Bones, for example) and Slytherins (Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle) in the same class as the Gryffindors.
- Second-year Gryffindors have Herbology only with the Hufflepuffs in the book, but also with the Slytherins in the film.
- Ernie Macmillan's role is diminished to a non-speaking part. The part where he and Hannah Abbott talk in the library about their theory of Harry wanting to attack Justin Finch-Fletchley was cut, but appears on the deleted scenes, however in the Study Hall. Also, Ernie is the one who blames Harry for attacking Justin when he is discovered, Petrified, but in the film, Argus Filch finds Harry and wants to expel him. In the book, it was Peeves who found him, and sung his funny song.
- As with the previous film, the character of Peeves is omitted completely.
- During the first Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson, Lockhart refers to the Bandon Banshee as male rather than female.
- The scene where Lockhart gives out a test is omitted in the film. It is included as a deleted scene on the DVD of the film.
7. Mudbloods and Murmurs
- In the book, Hermione has never heard the term "Mudblood" before, and Ron later explained the definition to her. In the film, she is aware of the term and is deeply hurt, even seen trying not to cry, and explains what it means to Harry, though Hagrid defines its origin for Harry and Ron and says exactly what Ron says in the book. Ron only responds to it with only one word.
8. The Deathday Party
- Nearly Headless Nick's Deathday Party is omitted from the movie. Because of this, Harry encounters the petrified Mrs. Norris on his way back from spending hours of detention with Gilderoy Lockhart instead. Harry also meets Ron and Hermione just before finding Mrs. Norris in the film, while in the book they were with Harry the entire time.
9. The Writing on the Wall
- In the book, Harry, Ron and Hermione are spoken to by the teachers in Gilderoy Lockhart's office. In the film, they are spoken to in the corridor where the attack happened.
- Mention of Filch being a Squib is omitted. However, very oddly, the term is mentioned in the Danish version of the subtitles; calling him Mr. Squib, although with the Danish term.
- Mention of Ron's detention and the fact that he recognised Tom Riddle's name from an award he received for special services to the school, was cut, but appears on the deleted scenes.
- In the film, Hermione claims that the writing on the wall is written in blood. The book, however, states that message is simply written in red paint.
10. The Rogue Bludger
- In the book, to borrow the Moste Potente Potions book from the library, which had the recipe for the Polyjuice Potion, Hermione had to get a note from Gilderoy Lockhart (which he signed without looking at) because it was in the restricted section. In the film, the scene was omitted, and the book was in the regular section of the library.
- In the film, the Gryffindor Quidditch team's match against Slytherin took place in sunny weather, while in the book, it took place in rainy weather.
- In the book, Draco does not notice the Snitch at all, due to having been insulting Harry at the time and Harry quickly catches the Snitch before Malfoy could realise it, but in the film, he sees it just after Harry does, and just after ducking to prevent being hit by a Bludger, and it leads to both of them chasing after the snitch for a few seconds before Harry catches it first. Also in the film, they chase the Snitch in between the Quidditch Stands.
- During the match in both book and film, Slytherin had taken the lead of Gryffindor of throwing the Quaffle through the hoops, but they had different scores: In the book, the final score was 60-0, but in the film, the score is 90-30, in which Gryffindor would then receive 150 points because Gryffindor won the match.
- In the film, while Malfoy was dodging the Bludger, he tilted his broom too low, the tip of his broom hits a beam, causing him to catapult off his broom, and land on the grass, landing on his groin doing a full split. He was still moaning in agonizing pain at the Hospital Wing when Madam Pomfrey tells him not to make such a fuss.
- In a deleted scene from the film Harry tries to avoid being hit by a Bludger by flying in the Slytherin tribune. This does not happen in the book.
- Lucius Malfoy is seen in the audience observing the Gryffindor-Slytherin Quidditch Match. This does not happen in the book.
- In the book Fred and George attempt to protect Harry from the rogue bludger, and later having to place it back in its case while restraining it. In the film, Hermione destroys the rogue bludger with Finite Incantatem after the game.
- In the book, Harry's arm is injured by the Rogue Bludger during the game before he charges at Malfoy after spotting the Snitch due to a moment of hesitation. In the film it occurs after Malfoy has crashed off his broom and Harry is reaching out, trying to and grab the snitch. Additionally in the film Hagrid is present when Lockhart removes the bones from Harry's injured arm when attempting to heal the broken bones.
- In the film Filch supports Slytherin, being seen standing in a crowd of Slytherin-spectators. This is not shown in the book.
- In the book, when Harry is in the hospital wing following the Quidditch match, Ron, Hermione and Madam Pomfrey are the only people there when he takes the Skele-Gro, the rest of the team come in later and Madam Pomfrey shouts at them to get out. In the film however, the entire team plus Ron and Hermione come with him, and Madam Pomfrey tells them to get out of her way, not to get out of the Hospital Wing.
11. The Duelling Club
- The scene in which Harry, Ron, and Hermione cause a disturbance in Potions class to steal ingredients from Professor Snape was omitted. This caused a continuity error for the film version of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire where Snape accused Harry of brewing Polyjuice Potion by stealing its ingredients "again". Possible explanations could be that it happened off-screen, or that Snape just came to the conclusion that Harry did it. Also, because Barty Crouch Jr. was stealing Snape's ingredients to brew Polyjuice Potion to impersonate Alastor Moody in the fourth film, it is possible that Snape mistakenly thought Harry was stealing the ingredients earlier in his fourth year and was warning him not to do so in what Snape falsely perceived to be a second time.
- In the Duelling Club scene, Harry and Draco are the only combatants participating, while in the novel, other classmates in their year are shown participating along with them, such as Hermione, Millicent Bulstrode, Ron, Seamus, Neville, and Justin Finch-Fletchley.
- Also in the Duelling Club sequence, when Harry speaks Parseltongue, in the book, the reader knows what he says immediately, as is the case when Harry speaks with the snake at the zoo in the film version of Philosopher's Stone. In the film, it's only hissing sounds until Harry explains what he said to Ron and Hermione. Other uses of the language later in the film are left untranslated, but most likely are the same as the book's translations. Also the games explains what he says.
- A line that Snape spoke in the book "Longbottom causes devastation with the simplest spells", was changed to "Weasley's wand causes devastation with the simplest spells" after Professor Lockhart chose Ron and Harry to demonstrate the Disarming Charm (in the book, Snape spoke instead about Neville Longbottom). The film also changed the line "We'll be sending what's left of Finch-Fletchley up to the hospital wing in a matchbox" to "We'll be sending what's left of Potter up to the hospital wing in a matchbox" as Justin Finch-Fletchley did not duel during the scene, either.
- Also in the Duelling Club scene, Rictusempra was used like a Stunning Spell which caused Malfoy to be thrown up in a back flip. In the book, Rictusempra was described to give its receiver an uncontrollable tickling sensation. Tarantallegra, a jinx used to force someone to dance wildly and involuntarily, was also not used in the film. In addition, attacking with a Serpensortia spell was Malfoy's own choice, whereas in the novel, Snape was the one who gave him that idea. Everte Statum was also not mentioned in the book but was used in the film.
- In a deleted scene after the Duelling Club, Harry was talking to Hedwig in a mountainous area away from the castle saying "Who am I, Hedwig? What am I?".
12. The Polyjuice Potion
- In the book, when Harry asks the Sorting Hat whether it put him in the right House, he does it with the hat on his head. In the film, he merely stands before it.
- The Polyjuice Potion in the book changes colours as the hair is added. In the film, it does not change colours at all.
- The scene in the Great Hall during the Christmas Feast, Hermione simply says that she got Millicent Bulstrode's hair off her robes. The novel, however, depicts her and Millicent in the Duelling club where Millicent is head-locking Hermione, and she happens to find black hair on her robes.
- The scene where Harry and Ron hide Crabbe and Goyle in a broom cupboard is omitted (the scene was filmed and included in the deleted scenes section, though). Due to this omission Crabbe and Goyle are dazed and confused when Harry and Ron run past them after their transformation has worn off instead of pounding while still in the cupboard.
- The effects of the Polyjuice Potion differ from book to film. In the film, Harry and Ron's voices don't change when they become Crabbe and Goyle, forcing them to imitate these voices. This causes a continuity error with Barty Crouch Jr.'s usage of the Polyjuice Potion in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire; however, since in the film adaptations of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the character's voices remain the same as well, it is more likely that Crouch was imitating Moody's voice. In the book, Harry's vision changes and he takes his glasses off, but in the film, his vision apparently does not change, and only takes the glasses off when Draco questions Harry (here disguised as Goyle) wearing them. This could also create a continuity error in the film adaptation of the first half of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows when Hermione, Ron, and others take the potion to transform into Harry, and Hermione remarks that Harry's eyesight is really bad.
- During the Slytherin Common Room scene, there are some parts of the book which are omitted from the film, like:
- Draco showing Goyle/Harry and Crabbe/Ron the Daily Prophet article about Arthur Weasley's inquiry at the Ministry of Magic about having been fined for having an enchanted Muggle car is omitted.
- Draco does not mention Dumbledore's love of Muggle-borns (but it's obvious that Dumbledore still loved them). Also, due to this omission, Draco does not make the rude mimicking act of Colin Creevey wanting Harry's autograph.
- There is no mention of Azkaban prison in this scene because Harry did not ask Draco whether he knew if the person who opened the Chamber last time was caught. Instead, it is first mentioned by Hagrid in the scene where Dumbledore and Cornelius Fudge come to Hagrid's hut.
- In the film, when Draco mentions that "you'd never know" the Weasleys were pure-bloods the way they behave along with an added line that was not mentioned in the book: "They're an embarassment to the wizarding world. All of them.", Ron makes a fist and looks furious, but in the book, Ron's face is just contorted with fury and there is no fist.
- In the book, Ron and Harry realize they're turning back to normal when Harry sees Ron's hair turning red and his nose lengthening and they run. In the film, they realize when Ron sees Harry's scar reappearing (which didn't happen in the book) and Harry seeing Ron's hair growing red again and whispering "Scar" (Ron) and "Hair" (Harry).
- There is a scene added in which Draco finds a small package and after shaking it once, asks Goyle/Harry if it's his (Harry's), Harry shakes his head and Draco puts the package in his school robe pocket, then a few seconds before Harry and Ron realize that they're about to turn back to their normal selves, Draco unwraps the package and after Harry's scar reappears and Ron's hair starts turning back to red, Draco is seen to having a small silver object in his hand, but it does not fully appear since it was in Draco's hand. The package was not included in the book.
13. The Very Secret Diary
- The part where Hermione gets a get well soon card from Gilderoy Lockhart is omitted, but included in the original script.
- In the book, Professor Binns explains to the class about the Chamber of Secrets during a History of Magic class, but in the film, Minerva McGonagall explains it to the students during a Transfiguration class as Professor Binns is not in the film. In the game, Professor Flitwick explains it during a Charms lesson.
- The Valentine's Day breakfast in the Great Hall which was arranged by Professor Lockhart is omitted.
- The scene when Harry gets his Valentine and Draco Malfoy tries to steal Tom Riddle's diary in which Harry disarms him and Percy scolds Harry for using magic in the corridors is omitted.
- In the book, the ink is scarlet. In the film, the ink is black.
- In the book, Tom Riddle's diary displays his first and middle names as initials. In the film, Tom Riddle's full first and last names are shown on the diary.
- In the book, when Harry gets sucked into the diary to 50 years before, he enters through the Headmaster's office where Professor Dippet was reading a letter from Tom Riddle. In the film, he enters below the Grand Staircase where Tom Riddle was standing, shortly before a younger Dumbledore appears to talk to him.
- In the film, a scene is added in which Harry and Tom Riddle see Myrtle's dead body (unknown to Harry) wrapped up in a sheet with her right arm sticking out and being carried away by several unidentified wizards. This event did not occur in the novel.
- In the book, Armando Dippet is the one to talks to Tom Riddle about Hogwarts closing. In the film, Dumbledore talks to Tom while Dippet appears only a brief second then turns his back and does not speak to Tom. Although, in the book, after Tom's meeting with Dippet, he finds Dumbledore who asks Tom why he's wandering around late and then tells him to hurry off to bed because it's not safe to roam the corridors these days.
- In the book, while Harry is in the memory inside the diary and he sees Tom Riddle with Rubeus Hagrid, Tom calls him "Rubeus", but in the film, he calls him Hagrid instead, like everybody else.
14. Cornelius Fudge
- In the book when McGonagall is cancelling the Gryffindor-Hufflepuff Quidditich match, she is doing this with a large megaphone while out on the field to send the message much to the dismay of Oliver Wood and the audience. In the film however, she simply informs the Gryffindor team just as they were heading out to the field though Wood protests the cancellation like he did in the book.
- Ginny's attempt to confide her secret to Ron and Harry is omitted, although a scene where Ginny sees Harry with the diary was initially featured in the script.
- Almost all foreshadowing hints about Ginny acting strangely or emotionally are omitted. However, in the film, the scene in which McGonagall informs the Gryffindors of the possible closing of the school reveals a close-up of Ginny appearing uneasy as if its her fault.
- Possible Explanation: Though Ginny did seem uneasy as if it is her fault, in the book she is "bullied" into taking a dose of Pepperup Potion by Percy, in the film this is omitted, along with the fact that she didn't even notice Harry in the book, while in the film she had said "Mum, have you seen my jumper?", and Mrs. Weasley responded with "Yes dear, it was on the cat. Then, when Ginny sees Harry, he says "Hello" and she turns and hurries off.
- Penelope Clearwater's role as a Basilisk victim is omitted from the film.
- The book mentioned that "the crowing of the rooster is fatal to the Basilisk" which led Hagrid's roosters to be killed since the Heir of Slytherin didn't want one near the castle. This was not mentioned in the film, although Hagrid was seen holding one of his dead roosters while talking to Dumbledore. A deleted scene shows Harry finding Hagrid holding the rooster. Hagrid explains his thought about a Blood-Sucking Bugbear, and that he is going to ask Dumbledore for permission to cast a protecting charm.
15. Aragog
- In the book, after Hagrid mentions that if they were looking for answers, all they'd have to do was follow the spiders, Harry and Ron didn't see any spiders until one day in Herbology when Harry points them out to Ron. They noticed the path the spiders were taking, which was right into the Forbidden Forest, and didn't follow them until everyone had gone to sleep in their dormitory. In the film, right after Hagrid is taken away by the Minister, Harry and Ron see spiders crawling along Hagrid's window and follow them into the Forbidden Forest.
- In the book, Harry, Ron and Fang are taken by the spiders to Aragog's lair but in the film they make their own way there. Also, they never see the Ford Anglia before arriving at Aragog's lair; hence their looks of surprise in the film when it crashes through the spiders to rescue them, although a deleted scene shows them finding the car before they meet Aragog.
- Also, in the deleted scene where Harry and Ron find the Ford Anglia, Harry tells Ron they don't want to lose the trail of spiders, but in the book, they lose the trail and try to find them before being dragged to Aragog's lair.
- In the film, Mosag, Aragog's mate, is not mentioned.
16. The Chamber of Secrets
- In the book, when McGonagall and the other teachers volunteer Lockhart to fight the Basilisk, the teachers are collected in the Staffroom with Harry and Ron hiding in the wardrobe. In the film, the teachers are gathered in front of the daubed message on the wall stating Ginny's capture with Harry and Ron hiding behind a corner. Also, in the book the teachers' comments after Lockhart has left them make it clear that they know he is incapable and were simply getting him out of the way. These comments are left out from the film, but it's still highly unlikely the plan was ever genuine And unlike in the book, the second messsage is seen on-screen in the film.
- In the book, when Harry and Ron realise that Lockhart is a fraud, they subdue him by performing a Disarming Charm and throwing his wand out of the window. In the film, Lockhart hopelessly drops his wand when Harry and Ron point theirs at his face.
- In the book, it says that the snake who had shed the skin must have been at least twenty feet long. In the movie, Ron remarks that the creature must have been at least sixty feet long.
17. The Heir of Slytherin
- In the film, the Basilisk is seen chasing Harry all around the Chamber of Secrets whereas in the book, Harry's fight against the Basilisk occurs quickly and neatly. In the book, Harry never climbs up the statue nor does he go into the statue.
- In the book, the statue at the end of the Chamber of Secrets is a full body statue of Salazar Slytherin, while in the film it is only a large statue of Slytherin's head and shoulders.
- In the book, after Fawkes had punctured the Basilisk's eyes, Riddle stated that it can still smell Harry. In the film, Riddle stated that it can hear him.
- In the book, Fawkes uses his tears to heal Harry while Riddle is still alive, but in the film Fawkes does not use his tears to heal Harry until after Riddle's destruction, as such Ginny wakes up and sees the dying Harry.
- In the book, in the Chamber of Secrets, Harry puts on the Sorting Hat and shouts at it for help. The sword then comes out and hits him on the head, nearly knocking him out. In the film, the sword just all of a sudden materialises in the hat when it's just lying on the ground, and Harry takes it.
- In the book, pillars hold up the ceiling of the Chamber of Secrets. In the film, there is nothing to hold the ceiling up (although two pairs of pillars do appear in the game version; and in the film, there were two lines of giant statues of snakes' heads where the pillars were in the book).
18. Dobby's Reward
- In the book, Harry's conversation with Dumbledore after the defeat of the basilisk is set in McGonagall's office, and Arthur, Molly, and McGonagall are present at the start of the scene. In the film, the scene is set in Dumbledore's office instead, and Arthur, Molly, and McGonagall do not appear.
- In the book, to free Dobby, Harry puts the diary in his sock and had Lucius Malfoy throw it so Dobby would catch it after he removed the diary, but in the film Harry puts his sock in the diary and had Lucius give the diary with the sock to Dobby unknowingly instead.
- In the book, just after Dobby was freed, Malfoy raises his wand threateningly at Harry, before Dobby tells him to leave. In the film, it sounds like Lucius Malfoy starts saying "Avada Kedavra" before Dobby blasts him backwards across the hall.
- In the book, Lucius Malfoy says to Harry, "Someday you'll meet the same sticky end as your parents. They were meddlesome fools too." In the film, he said, "Your parents were meddlesome fools, too. Mark my words, Potter - one day soon, you're going to meet the same, sticky end."

- Deathday Party ghost attendees
- Cuthbert Binns
- Mr. Borgin (Appears in deleted scene)
- Rolanda Hooch
- Valentine's Dwarves
- When Dobby first sees Harry, there is a red flag and an orange flag behind him (Dobby). You can see that the orange flag is missing a thumb tack. When Harry tells Dobby that he's not supposed to be there, the thumb tack is there.
- In Borgin & Burkes, the Hand of Glory is wrapped around Harry's hand. In the next shot, it is wrapped around his wrist.
- In Borgin & Burkes, while Harry is looking at the jar of skulls, there is nothing next to the jar, In the next shot, an iron stand appears out of nowhere.
- When Lockhart is saying "it's 27th week atop the Daily Prophet Bestseller List..." the camera scrolls up to Malfoy. You can clearly see Tom Felton's tape mark marking where he is supposed to place his feet.
- While Harry and Ron are crashing into Platform 9 3/4, Hedwig is obviously just a stuffed owl.
- Right after Harry and Ron crash into the platform, Ron's suitcase has three brown lines. Five shots later, it has two lines.
- After they get beaten up by the Whomping Willow, you can see a hole in Ron's suitcase and it is a perfect circular.
- When Ron takes the Howler out of Errol's beak, the envelope is open. He is then seen opening it.
- The pixies are green-screen so they had to use binder clips to stretch out Neville's ears to make the scene where the pixies drag Neville up and hang him on the chandelier. After the pixies let go, Neville's ears stay stretched.
- When Madam Pomfrey sets the bottle of Skele-Gro down, it is facing the camera but when Harry rubs his mouth after spitting it out, the bottle is facing the other way.
- During the Duelling Club scene when Snape is about to pick Malfoy up, Tom and Alan's tape marks are visible.
- While the car is being attacked by the Whomping Willow, a hand can be seen tipping over Hedwig's cage.
- In the scene where Harry and Ron are about to be attacked by Aragog's family in the dark forest, the (formerly) flying car comes to save them. Harry, Ron, and Fang scramble to get in the car, and Fang gets in first, on the driver's side. A spider runs up to attack Harry, but Harry repels it with a spell. As it is running up to Harry, Fang can be seen entering the car a second time.
- In the Duelling Club scene, after Harry hits Draco with "Rictusempra" and Draco hits the ground, when Snape pulls him up a crew member holding a camera is fully visible in the left corner. Also, a tape marker can be seen under Snape's feet (not seen in the picture).
- When Harry gets bitten by the basilisk, his arm is seen next to the snake tooth. This is to avoid injury. His arm is seen at least 3 inches away from the tooth.
- As Dobby's Bludger pursues Harry, he circles a stand decorated with the Slytherin Banner. It makes sense that Harry stops in the front of the stand, according to the last angle of the camera. The Bludger crashes and makes a hole in the front of the stand, but during the next shot, it shows the hole on the right side of the stand.
- During one of the last scenes of the movie when Harry, Dumbledore and Lucius Malfoy are in Dumbledore's office, the original hair of Jason Issacs, who plays Lucius Malfoy, is visible at the back behind his wig.
- When Hermione and Harry first arrive at Flourish and Blotts, Ginny is facing them, but in the very next shot Ginny is facing the other way.
- Harry gets into trouble for doing magic outside of school, yet Hermione does the repairing spell on Harry's glasses without a problem.
Behind the scenes
- An additional scene appears after the end credits, depicting Lockhart's newest book, Who Am I?. This is the only film to have a scene occur after the end credits, if you do not count the next installment's small Nox spell by Harry that turns out the light.
- This is the first film in the series to begin directly with the title. The second is The Order of the Phoenix.
- This is the first film that has no lightning during the title. The second is The Prisoner of Azkaban, the third is The Goblet of Fire, and the last is The Order of the Phoenix.
- This film is the second time a Gryffindor-Slytherin Quidditch match is seen.
- This film is the only time Draco Malfoy is seen playing Quidditch in the films due to Slytherin's matches against Gryffindor being omitted from the third and fifth films. Draco is shown playing Quidditch again in the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey attraction at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
- If you listen closely, when Lucius attempts to curse Harry for freeing Dobby, he starts the "Avada-" portion of the Killing Curse, before being thrown back by Dobby's spell.
- When Harry and Ron were hiding under the invisibility cloak in Hagrid's hut, Dumbledore appears to have seen them or at least suspected their presence as he was staring at them directly and he even stayed behind and looked at them and he told them indirectly that "help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it".
- Before shooting the Basilisk scenes, Director Chris Columbus asked the advice of Steven Spielberg who had directed the Jurassic Park movies. Columbus wondered how best to film the scenes with the Basilisk (using CGI or a real mechanical beast). Spielberg said that the best result comes from combining the two, resulting into shots with a CGI Basilisk (the wide shots) and a mechanical one (for close ups) which Daniel Radcliffe could work with.[2]
- Chris Columbus also shot the scene with Harry climbing onto Salazar Slytherin's head as an homage to North by Northwest, a film by Alfred Hitchcock, in which the main characters climb onto one the heads of the famous Mount Rushmore.[3]

Remembering Regent Susan Kirk
Those who knew Susan Kirk, a mover, shaker and former University of Colorado regent, pay tribute to the passing of a stateswoman.
Services for Kirk, who died a week ago Friday at the age of 81, will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at St. John's Episcopal Cathedral.
Here's what some former and current regents, two former mayors and a governor and others have to say about Kirk:
Lindy Eichenbaum Lent, executive director,
Civic Center Conservancy:
Susan would often tell me that it was hell getting older, and yet she did it with such no-holds-barred panache. From her brightly-colored fashion-forward ensembles, to her enviable travels and art collection, to her fascination with snowboarding icon Shaun White, to her insistence that nothing interfere with her daily evening cocktail with husband Dick Kirk — always using both his first and last name, to always seeking ways to connect her vast networks of people to her passions, Susan was truly one-of-a-kind.

Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars is a 1973 documentary and concert movie by D.A. Pennebaker. It features David Bowie and his backing group The Spiders from Mars performing at the Hammersmith Odeon, July 3, 1973. The DVD release was later retitled Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars: The Motion Picture.
Pennebaker had been asked to come to London and film just a few songs but when he saw the first of the two London shows he realized that "there was a full-length film here asking to be made." Though he had only scant knowledge of Bowie's music, apart from Space Oddity, he was impressed by the star's onstage charisma and the range of his songs and quickly prepared to shoot the entire second gig, without knowing that it would include a dramatic final coup. Jeff Beck participated on three songs (two of them forming a medley) midway through the concert but was edited out from the final cut at his own wish. The expanded version of "The Width of a Circle" was shortened by a few minutes for the soundtrack on vinyl and CD.
The film was shown a few times at festivals in late 1973 and provoked strong interest and favourable reactions, but then disappeared from view until 1983, when it was released on home video accompanied by a soundtrack double album. Evidently it became a casualty first of Bowie's rapid image changes which left Ziggy and glam rock behind and then of the rupture between Bowie and MainMan in early 1975; after that point Bowie was reluctant to release or promote any new recordings dating from before Young Americans as he would have to give half the income from any such recordings to MainMan up to the end of 1982.
Only in recent years has the film become available for regular cinema presentations; for many years it was a home video exclusive.
Bowie had taken the stage persona of "Ziggy Stardust", a science fiction based, theatrical, enigmatic, androgynous character and produced two albums during this period. The evening of July 3 was the last show in the English concert tour promoting Bowie's 1973 album Aladdin Sane and the 60th gig in a tour of Britain that started on May 12, though an American tour was already being booked for the autumn. Very few in Bowie's entourage knew of his decision to drop the Ziggy persona and cancel performing for a while; in the band only Mick Ronson had been told a few days before the final night.
At the end of the evening, aptly just before the song "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide", Bowie announced that, Not only is this the last show of the tour, but it's the last show that we'll ever do. The phrasing was deliberately ambiguous, but most of the audience and many London newspapers and magazines took it to mean that Bowie was retiring from music. In fact, he had killed off his Ziggy persona but not his music career.

In a major step toward defending constitutional rights and due process in an age of high-tech surveillance, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously found that police require a search warrant to place a tracking device on a suspect's vehicle.
In doing so, the high court overturned the conviction of Washington, D.C nightclub owner Antoine Jones on charges of conspiracy to sell drugs. To convict Jones, prosecutors used as evidence information from a GPS tracker that had been attached to Jones' SUV. Although the Washington, D.C. police had obtained a search warrant for the device, officers did not execute the warrant until the day after it had expired. They also placed the device on the vehicle when it was in Maryland, outside the D.C. jurisdiction of the warrant. Jones' attorneys appealed his conviction to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals on Fourth Amendment grounds against illegal search and seizure. Prosecutors, supported by the Obama administration, argued that the search warrant, however improperly executed, was unnecessary to begin with because GPS tracking was not a search as defined by the Bill of Rights. The Appeals Court disagreed and the Supreme Court today upheld the ruling.
The decision will stand as a watershed moment in the application of Fourth Amendment guarantees in an era where police--from local precincts up to the FBI--have a bevy of intrusive electronic tools at their disposal. Although the decision pertained to electronic surveillance, the Opinion of the Court, written by Justice Antonin Scalia, notably rested on brick-and-mortar aspects, primarily that police trespassed on private property to execute the warrant.
Still, by the court's own admission, the ruling doesn't cover the use of technologies that do not require law enforcement to set foot or otherwise tamper with a suspect's property. These can range from location tracking via automatic highway toll payment systems to the use of thermal and infrared cameras, which can "see" in the dark, and sophisticated radio imaging devices, which, although still in prototype, have the potential to see through walls.
However, the Supreme Court, as it often does, used this case as an opportunity to set up a framework for future cases that might tackle these greater issues. It chose to say that the "no reasonable expectation of privacy" test that has been used in other Fourth Amendment cases, including Katz v. United States, to allow the use information obtained from a suspect's behavior in public--as well as the use of information if it has been transferred to a third party--did not apply in this case. Even so, the opinion seemed to go out of its way to note that "expectation of privacy" claim was intended to augment, not diminish or replace, citizens' rights against search and seizure as laid down in the Fourth Amendment. It subtly reclaims "expectation of privacy" as touchstone for defendants and makes it less of an escape clause for government snooping.
This could have ramifications should a case involving a warrantless seizure of electronic data from cloud-based third-party storage services, such as Carbonite and Dropbox, come before the Supreme Court. Here again, then, the opinion chose to quote from Katz, reminding us that "the Fourth Amendment protects people, not places."

text: Projectors, unless they're of the mini- or HD-kind tend to have me thinking "meh..." apart from LG's new HS102. 'Cause though it has just 800 x 600 native resolution with switchable 4:3/16:9 ratios, it's got Phlatlight LED illumination tech that gives it a 2,000:1 contrast ratio and 150 lumen brightness and it's got a Divx player (playing files from USB-attached storage, it seems) built right into it. And there's a rechargeable battery jammed in there too, making this projector portable in the real sense, since it'll run for two hours unplugged. Out in South Korea for around a $555 equivalent, there's no word on when it'll hit these shores. [Naver via Zoomgadget]

Classification of protected categories is as follows:
A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

"You should start out by quarter of." My son-in-law placed my suitcase by their front door. "Three at the latest. And you'll need time to return the rent-a-car."
"You set the alarm clock?" asked my daughter.
I had.
"You have both passports? Israel and America?"
I checked. Yes, I did.
We were saying goodbye on my last night in San Diego, and in a few hours, while they slept, I'd be leaving for L.A. My El Al flight was at 7.
"You filled up the tank?"
I nodded.
"There's an all-night Starbucks on the freeway," said Mimi. "You know how to get to the onramp?"
"You take a left out of our street and at the top of the hill, you turn ri-"
"Oh yeah, yeah, right, I know. Thank you. Thank you so much."
They stood there, hesitant, going down a mental checklist. Not infrequently on previous visits, I had found new and creative ways to mess up.
"And when you get onto the freeway," said Dovy, "make sure it's 205 North. If the signs say south, you're on your way to Mexico."
"Oh come on!" I laughed, and he smiled. "I'm not that ditzy."
There was a pulling on my heart as I passed their room, then the children's room….Feeling my way along the hall and down the stairs, tiptoeing through their dark house…lugging and dragging my suitcase through the front door…and then, outside…into the immense and misty Californian night.
Across the street, the neighbors' towering eucalyptus was vaulting upwards, its black, shadowy wings lifted up towards the starry firmament.
All alone in the big, soft darkness before dawn, I set sail through the empty streets, all my senses alert and on edge.
Turning the key in the ignition, backing out cautiously, trying to keep the car from raising its hoarse and husky voice…navigating the little cul-de-sac, home after little home of dreaming little families...and then…taking a right out of the neighborhood, now I could relax.
All alone in the big, soft darkness before dawn, when mankind was fast asleep, I set sail through San Diego's empty streets, all my senses alert and on edge. There was the turnoff! Up onto the onramp and I was on my way, gliding free.
The radio at this hour was mostly static, but I spun the dial until I landed in some sort of New Age interview program — catering, apparently, to all the insomniac, restless, solitary souls strewn out over the somnolent American heartland like tiny points of light. An amiable moderator with a faint hint of Midwestern twang was just introducing Dr. Christopher Knight, a British astrophysicist, who from 3 a.m. to 5 (great!—they'd get me all the way to the airport) would be sharing some peculiar facts about…the moon.
"It is a puzzling quirk, indeed," said Dr. Knight in his clipped English accent, "that the disc of the moon should seem, from an earthly perspective, to be exactly the same size as the sun. Whilst we casually take it for granted that the two main bodies seen in Earth's skies look the same size, the probability of this being the case is virtually nil."
"But isn't that just because the moon's so much closer to us than the sun?"
"That's certainly the case, Jim. But the question remains: why do moon and sun appear to us on earth as precisely equal discs? The remarkable answer is that while our planet's moon is exactly 1/400th the size of the sun, its distance from the earth is exactly 1/400th the distance of the sun from the earth. Whilst the surprisingly neat number of 400 for relative size and distance is apparently an amusing coincidence of the decimal counting system, the odds against this happening are huge. Experts have always been deeply puzzled by the phenomenon. Isaac Asimov, the respected scientist and science-fiction guru, described this perfect visual alignment as being 'the most unlikely coincidence imaginable.' That kind of mathematical correspondence does not occur anywhere else, on any of the other planets in our solar system. Furthermore, this perfect fit of the lunar and solar discs is an optical illusion."
"An optical illusion?" said Jim. "You mean, not real?"
"By definition, optical illusions are 'unreal.' The perplexing thing about this optical illusion is that it would seem to be designed, remarkably enough, especially for a human being's perspective, because it only works from the viewpoint of a human being standing on the earth's surface."
Traffic was pleasantly light. For a second I scanned the night sky but if the moon was up there, the freeway's occasional oncoming headlights were the only visible luminaries.
"Another incomprehensible coincidence," Dr. Knight continued, "is that the moon precisely imitates the perceived annual movements of the sun. When the sun is at its lowest and weakest in midwinter, the full moon is at its highest and brightest, while in midsummer, when the sun is at its highest and brightest, the moon is at its weakest. It would be easy to dismiss these sun-mimicking performances by saying that it is simply a consequence of the moon's distance from the earth and its orbital characteristics. And indeed, this is what most scientifically trained people will say, because it is self-evidently true. To the scientifically trained mind, these phenomena absolutely must be understood, again, as inevitable coincidence—a result of the virtually incalculable vastness of time and space, because otherwise, it would suggest the intervention of a creative intelligence."
"Oh, you mean God?"
"We shall consider that possibility shortly but before we do, let's first take note of a few of the other interesting quirks of nature related to our moon. Tell me, Jim, why do you think that one of the features of our planet is seasonal change?"
"Well, let's see. Gotta think back to elementary school. I know it's got something to do with how close the earth is to the sun."
"It seems highly unlikely that higher life forms would exist at all were it not for the 22.5 degree angle relative to the sun."
"That's a common misunderstanding, Jim. It's actually due to the angle of the planet in relation to the sun, which is about 22.5 degrees from what might be described as a vertical position. If the earth were, instead, in the upright mode, life would be almost impossible across much of the planet, with extremes of temperature providing only a narrow band suitable for mammals such as humans to survive. Even then, the sea and air currents would move wildly between the hot and cold zones, causing catastrophic weather conditions with regions of permanent rainfall and others with none at all. Hurricanes and tornadoes would ravage many areas and overall it seems highly unlikely that higher life forms would exist at all were it not for the 22.5 degree angle relative to the sun. How is this angle maintained? It is maintained by the moon, which acts as a gigantic planetary stabilizer.
"Now let us turn our attention, for a moment, to the sun itself. The diameter of the sun is estimated at 1,392,000 km, and as the average diameter of the earth is 12,742 km., it follows that 109.245 earths would be placed side by side along the diameter of the sun. This is not a number that stands out for any reason, but when we looked at the number of sun diameters in the earth's aphelion (its greatest distance to the sun) we found that there are 109.267, effectively an identical value because the estimate of the sun's diameter is within this tiny margin. How strange. There are the same number of earth diameters in the sun's diameter as there are sun diameters between the earth and the sun. This is a near-perfect echo that does not work for any other planet in the solar system."
Interviewer and interviewee sallied back and forth for who knows how many miles about the immeasurable unlikelihood of this and other related phenomena. Every quarter hour or so there'd be a commercial break and I'd spin impatiently through the channels while waiting for the interview to come back on. But it was a lovely ride. I had the freeway almost to myself. At one point, I tuned in just as Christopher Knight was saying that no other known planet has such a narrow temperature band.
"Our earth is subjected to a range of temperature that permits water to be liquid most of the time. In fact, water is a very curious substance altogether. On earth we can see it at the same time in its three states—as solid ice, as liquid water, and as a gas in clouds. Each water molecule is composed of just two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen and yet it acts as a universal solvent with a high surface tension. As everyone knows, warm water rises as convection currents but it is also true that ice floats. Other planets in our solar system may have ice or steam but only the earth is awash with life-giving liquid water. Liquid water has been absolutely crucial in creating the world we know today and as far as is known, life cannot exist without it.
"With only a small change in the overall temperature of the earth, or an alternation in the seasonal patterns, the nature of the water on our planet would change. As we have seen, a more pronounced planetary tilt would lead to a freezing of the oceans. On the other hand, if the earth were not tilted at all, the equatorial regions would become unbearably hot and weather patterns across the planet would be radically changed. It is therefore vital for our existence that the tilt of the earth has been maintained at around 22.5 degrees, yet this is a very unlikely state of affairs. Venus is the nearest planet to earth and the most similar to ours, but it shows signs of having varied markedly in the tilt across time. The earth is very active internally and highly unstable, yet despite a few periodic wobbles, it keeps the same angle relative to the sun.
"The moon has a sidereal rotation period of 655.728 hours, which means it rotates once every 27.322 earth days. Given that the moon has an equatorial circumference of 10, 920.8 kilometers, this means that the moon is turning at 400 kilometers per earth day. So consider these facts as a whole: The moon is 1/400th the size of the sun. The moon is 400 times closer to the earth than the sun. The moon is rotating at the rate of 400 km. per earth day. The earth is rotating at 40,000 kilometers a day and the moon is turning at a rather precise 100 times less.
"The moon appears to have been inserted into the sun-earth relationship with the accuracy of the proverbial Swiss clock."
"Some people would not get to the point of recognizing the patterns in the ratios within the sun-earth-moon system. And a scientifically trained person looking at any one of these points would almost certainly respond that all numbers are equally valid. A value such as 100 or 40,000 dropping out of the mix is just as likely as any other number. We absolutely agree with this view and we would ignore such results if they were only happening once or even twice, but we are confronting a whole list of non-random-looking values. If we look at the available information logically, the moon appears to have been inserted into the sun-earth relationship with the accuracy of the proverbial Swiss clock. In our view, anyone who dismisses all of these points as coincidence is being either very illogical or downright dishonest. As the astro-biologist Paul Davies once said, 'Most people take the existence of life for granted, but to a physicist like me it seems astounding. How do stupid atoms do such clever things?' To which I'll add the following: it's true that if someone tosses a coin 100 times and it comes out heads every time, the chance of the next toss resulting in another head is exactly 50-50. However, if this ever happens to you, I would suggest you check that the coin is not double-headed."
"So what you're talking about," said Jim, "is the science of probability."
"Yes. Virtually all scientific discovery is a process of identifying patterns that stand out from the chaos of random events. When something varies markedly from the norm, there is usually a reason. One thing is certain in all this: no moon would mean no humans. The more we have looked into how our planet developed into a paradise for living creatures, the more surprised we became. Opinions vary among myself and my colleagues but the common thread is that we recognize evidence of intelligent design."
"Oh, so you mean…a benevolent crea—"
"Let's put it this way: what these facts indicate is that the moon was engineered by an unknown agency to act as an incubator to promote intelligent life on earth."
"Oh, so, umm, I presume this…that this means you are talking about…"
"Most of the 92% of the American population who state that they believe in God would probably assume coincidence. Only a minority might claim that it is the grand plan of the Almighty. Let me point out that such a conclusion cannot be dismissed out of hand as religious fanaticism or self-delusion. Have you heard of Anthony Flew?"
"The How to Think Straight author?"
"Exactly. At the age of 89, after sixty-six years as a leading champion of atheism and logical thinking, Professor Flew has been led by the accumulated mass of new information over recent decades to state that science appears to have proven the existence of God. Flew's reason for this monumental about-turn is the discovery of evidence pointing at some sort of intelligence that must have created the world we inhabit. He has particularly cited the biological investigation of DNA, which has shown an unbelievable complexity of the arrangements needed to produce life, leading to the conclusion that intelligence must have been involved. Now Flew is a man of principle, and when he was asked if his new ideas would upset the scientific community, he replied by saying, 'That's too bad. My whole life has been guided by the principle of Plato's Socrates: Follow the evidence, wherever it leads.'"
"Hasn't he been discredited, though?" asked Jim.
"Only in the eyes of certain of his colleagues in the scientific community, who in response to his deviation from basic scientific dogma have decided that Professor Flew must be suffering from either Alzheimer's or dementia."
"Excuse me for pressing you on this point, but what do you th--?"
"The only possible answer to the question of what, or who, was capable of creating the moon is that aliens conducted visitations to our planet billions of years ago."
"I will answer as follows: Nature abhors a vacuum, but we scientists abhor a vacuum even more. Something must be found to explain the inexplicable. We are talking about many factors here that logically should bear no relationship to each other at all. Taken in isolation, any one of these strange associations might be considered a coincidence, but there comes a time when coincidences become so frequent that something else must be at work."
"And that something else…?"
"A super-intelligence. Some people, as I have said, regard this entity as an omnipotent, benevolent God, Who answers prayers, an idea to which I personally cannot subscribe. For our purposes here, we shall designate it, 'UCA,' which stands for Unknown Creative Agency. I have concluded that the only possible answer to the question of what, or who, was capable of creating the moon—is that a contingent, or network, of human-like time travelers—aliens, if you will, at such an advanced point in the technological development of their civilization that we cannot conceive of it—conducted visitations to our planet billions of years ago."
So taken aback, so entertained was I by this, that sitting there all by myself in the car, I laughed right out loud and exclaimed (whether to Jim or to Dr. Knight, I didn't specify ): "Well, what do you know about that!" Suddenly it dawned upon me that the sun was rising and I'd better keep my eye out now for the airport exit.
A huge sign was coming into view overhead:
I turned the car around in a panic. After explaining myself to the mustachioed, gun-toting policemen and heading back through the customs checkpoint with a screech of the tires, I glanced up at the sky and there she was, sailing high, serenely vanishing into the sun's first light.
With apologies to Dr. Christopher Knight, from whose book, "Who Built the Moon," passages about the moon have been quoted and modified.

Asperger syndrome is a neurological disorder resulting in a group of social and behavioral symptoms. It is an autism spectrum disorder. Children with Asperger syndrome usually have normal intelligence and do not have language problems.
In the past, Asperger syndrome was considered its own diagnosis. It is now referred to as autism spectrum disorder. However, the term Asperger syndrome is still used by some to identify children with a less severe form of autism.
The cause of Asperger syndrome is unknown. Some experts believe a variety of factors may be responsible.
Risk Factors
Asperger syndrome is more common in boys. Family history of autism spectrum disorder may also be a risk factor.
Symptoms usually become noticeable around 2½ or 3 years of age. Symptoms may range from mild to severe and can include:
- Difficulty interacting with others
- Trouble making friends
- Poor understanding of other people's feelings
- Insensitivity to social cues and facial expressions
- Inappropriate social and emotional responses
- Preoccupation with one's own world
- Not sharing enjoyment, interests, or achievements with others
- Following repetitive routines or rituals
- Difficulty with any changes in routine or schedule
- Single mindedness
- Limited interests, usually 1-2 subjects
- Repeating words or phrases over and over
- Intense interest in a few topics
- Good rote memory without understanding the information
- Limited verbal skills or using words in odd ways
- Difficulty imagining things or thinking abstractly
- Taking things literally
- Focusing on small details and having trouble seeing the bigger picture
- Ability to read without understanding the words
- Problems with nonverbal communication
- Poor eye contact
- Few facial expressions, except for anger or unhappiness
- Impaired body posturing or use of gestures
- Clumsy movements
- Hand flapping
- Poor coordination
- Inflexibility or trouble accepting change
- Difficulty accepting loss or criticism
- Obsessive desire to finish any tasks that are started
There are no tests for Asperger syndrome. The diagnosis is based on observations of the child's behavior. Neuropsychological and IQ tests may be done. Medical tests may be ordered to help rule out other conditions. Children and their families can benefit from early intervention.
There is no treatment to cure Asperger syndrome. Treatments aim to control symptoms and improve social skills. Children often learn to function independently when they become adults. However, they usually continue to experience problems with social interaction. They may be at risk for learning disabilities, such as attention deficit disorder (ADD). They also may develop mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety . Children with Asperger syndrome need love and understanding, as well as a structured schedule.
Drugs to help control symptoms may include:
- Stimulants
- Mood-altering drugs
- Drugs to control seizures
- Antipsychotic medication
- Serotonin selective reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
Alternative Therapies
The supplement melatonin may be helpful in improving sleep. Talk to the doctor before giving herbs or supplements to your child.
Behavior modification therapy and training can help children develop social skills. Learning how to make and keep friends is a challenge for children with Asperger syndrome.
Family Care
Caring for a child with Asperger syndrome can be stressful. Counselors help parents learn how to manage the child's behavior. Suggestions include:
- Give warnings that an activity is about to end and provide ways to save the task for later. For instance, a favorite television show may be recorded for later viewing.
- Try to include some flexibility into the day.
- Set limits on the amount of time the child can spend on a single, obsessive activity.
- Keep directions simple.
- Use precise words.
- Limit choices to 2-3 things.
- Avoid using figures of speech.
- Make lists.
- Do not assume a child with this disorder understands what has been said simply because he can repeat it back to you.
- At an early age, start explaining what is appropriate behavior for public and private places.
- Do not make idle threats or promises.
- Give praise for accomplishments, especially social skills.
Educational Needs
Children with Asperger syndrome usually have a normal IQ. However, they have special educational needs. They often can attend regular schools. They may need extra support in the classroom. Special attention should be paid to building social skills. Teachers should be informed of the child's needs. Children with Asperger syndrome may be at risk for bullying because they seem different to their peers.
