“We were all in the D.A. together,” said Neville quietly. “It was all about fighting You-Know-Who, wasn’t it? And this is the first chance we’ve had to do something real — or was all that just a game or something?”

Personally, I like the way to movie phrases it more, but that’s just me.

Seamus joins Harry when 10 top security death eaters escape from Azkaban and Harry gives an article in the quibbler on his account of how Voldy came back. in seamus’ first class the DA is caught.
in the book i dont think neville says that to harry.

Or could this be something the filmmakers slipped in, and I’m merely remembering the wrong facts?

We should also remember that a few of the students that show up at the Hog’s Head, are really there just so they can hear Harry’s side of the story, and then if they believe it, they’ll join him. Just being there wasn’t necessarily a show of confidence until they had actually decided to sign the parchment.

One thing this momentous occasion reminds me of (I’m not sure if this is in the book later on, or if it was another addition by the filmmakers): when Neville says to Harry, before convincing him to allow them all to head off to London with him, “Dumbledore’s Army was about doing something *real*. Or were all those just words to you?” Sends a chill down my spine =]

Just a thought. One of them seems to have been Lil Moon, which is an Irish name. I like to think (although this is pure speculation) that she’s Seamus’s cousin and has therefore been charged with keeping him out of trouble. That would explain how two people who are actually quite brave egg each other on in the wrong direction, pleading family loyalty even though their family is wrong. If Miss Moon was always at Seamus’s elbow, this may also explain why the other girls in the Gryffindor dormitory didn’t invite her.

ALL his friends and pretty much everyone he knows (including Dean) is sneaking around and joining secret societies (and will be doing so for the rest of the year) while he has NO IDEA what’s going on and propably is upset that Dean is keeping secrets from him. Most of my friends are like “whatever it’s his own fault he shouldn’t have been so awful to Harry” but to me it seems like he was trying to be loyal to his mother by choosing to believe what she believes.

I think that I remember Rowling saying something to that effect somewhere, but I don’t remember where.

Rowling flashed up the list that she had used to plan all the students in Harry’s year. Part of it was obscured off the right side of the screen, but it clearly had exactly 40 names on it, most likely divided 10 per house, and it’s been borne out in the books (20 brooms in Flying class with the Slytherins, 20 earmuffs in Herbology with the Hufflepuffs, etc.).

ETA: There’s a screencap of the class list here.
