In the book they drag on his whiny bitchiness through the whole thing. To me, the movie didn't dwell on it all TOO much. The movie touched on it, but did not go all out. I am glad they did, I didn't want to watch a teenage boy bitch and mope through the whole movie, I wanted to watch Umbridge torture the students, and of course the Department of Mysteries scene.
I think they did a great job at casting. I would've expected Umbridge to be a bit toadier, but she nailed the "hem hem" cough in my mind. Luna was even cast well, and Bellatrix was spot on (again in my mind). They definitely jumped plot points, and 5 minutes into the movie I could tell the huge gaping holes they were going to leave due to time restraints. The thing about the books is you can imagine everything that's happening, and create your own pictures; you find in the movie that something you really wanted to see on the screen gets skipped, or is done MUCH differently than you imagined it, other times the director nails it. Considering time constraints, I enjoyed the movie; if they put everything I would've like to have seen it would have easily been a 3 hour movie.
