hindsight bias!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(we already know the answer so we cant remember what we originally thought at first). Sooo you can't really remember what you originally felt like/thought about since you already know he didn't make it. Sorry, everyone has it.

(After all.. things that were not in the book have been included in the movies -- such as the car almost crashing in the train tracks, the candy at the dorms.. -- as well as changing who says what when -- like hermione fixing Harry's glasses when the person who does it is Mr. Weasley in book 2.)

Anyhow, I wonder if they mentioned why they didn't include him.. Maybe they had too much footage?
