	Mischief Managed... Not! I believe there is a small mistake in the movie script of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The error is when Professor Lupin says "Mischief managed"to the Marauder's Map,just after saying goodbye to Harry at the end of the movie. In the book, Harry finds Lupin packing in his office, and Lupin says,"I saw you coming,"pointing to the map. On the next page, Lupin says to Harry: "I am no longer your teacher,so I don't feel guilty about giving you back this as well.It's no use to me and I daresay you, Ron and Hermione will find uses for it." (PoA pg. 424/309) But he doesn't work the map in Harry's presence. However, in the movie, at the end of this scene, Lupin points his wand at the Marauder's Map and says, "Mischief managed." Very cute way to wrap up the scene. But there's a problem. We know that Fred and George stole the map from Filch: We let off a Dungbomb in the corridor and it upset him for some reason. So he hauled us off to his office and started threatening us with the usual, detention, disembowelment, and we couldn't help noticing a drawer in one of his filing cabinets marked Confiscated and Highly Dangerous." ... "George caused a diversion by dropping another Dungbomb. I whipped the drawer open and grabbed this. It's not as bad as it sounds, you know," said George. "We don't reckon Filch ever found out how to work it. He probably suspected what it was though, or he wouldn't have confiscated it." "And you know how to work it?" "Oh yes," said Fred, smirking. "This little beauty's taught us more than all the teachers in this school." (PoA pg. 191/143) Fred and George had no connection with the original marauders, James, Sirius, Lupin and Peter Pettigrew. So, Fred and George would have had no way of knowing the original incantations used to operate the map. I believe it's only logical to assume that Fred and George must have figured out how to use the map by trial and error. However, it's very unlikely they would have come up with the exact incantations the marauders used, instead, it's more likely that they came up with something close to the original incantations,and the map understood their rule-breaking intentions. Now,Lupin,being one of the original marauders,knows the "real",original incantations that work the map.In addition,he would have no way of knowing what Fred and George's versions of the incantations were (and hence the versions Harry uses because Fred and George told Harry),because Harry never uses the map in front of Lupin. "I solemnly swear I'm up to no good"and"Mischief managed" are the incantations that Fred and George made up.So, it doesn't make logical sense for Lupin to say "Mischief managed" to the map at the end of the movie! Foreshadowings in Prisoner of Azkaban In an interview released around the time of the theatrical premiere of Prisoner of Azkaban, an interview which is also on the Prisoner of Azkaban DVD, J.K. Rowling said: "Alfonso [Cuaron] had very good intuition about what would and wouldn't work. He's put things in the film that, without knowing it, foreshadow things that are going to happen in the final two books. So, I really got goosebumps when I saw a couple of those things and I thought people are going to look back on the film and think those were put in deliberately as clues." For fans of J.K.'s Harry Potter mystery, divining what these foreshadowings are could very well lend an important insight into what will be happening in Harry's future. It's not easy taking notes in a dark theatre, but now that we have Prisoner of Azkaban on DVD, it's easier to delve deeper into the movie to try and find out exactly which parts of the movie that J.K. was referring to. By referring closely to the DVD, I've found four moments in the movie that, while still keeping within the spirit of the story, do not appear in J.K.'s Prisoner of Azkaban book. That means that while OK'ed by J.K., these things were added to the story by the director Alfonso Cuaron and the screenwriter Steve Kloves, and so they could be the foreshadowing things that J.K. mentioned in the interview. Snape, Sirius and Lupin in the Shrieking Shack In the scene in the Shrieking Shack, Sirius is just on the verge of revealing that Scabbers is Peter Pettigrew, when they're interrupted by the arrival of Snape. While trying to tell Snape he's making a mistake, Sirius and Lupin tell each other to be quiet, at which point Snape comments: "Oh,listen to you two,quarelling like an old married couple." This is an odd thing for Snape to say.Is he only trying to disparage his old friends with an insulting comment?Or is he referring to a secret he knows about them,that possibly Sirius and Lupin's relationship goes deeper than best friends? After all,we know about James and his girlfriend Lily,but J.K. has never mentioned girlfriends of Sirius or Lupin.This perhaps takes on more meaning as we later find out in Order of the Phoenix that Lupin is living with Sirius in his house. Of all the possibilities to be the foreshadowings that J.K. alluded to, I think this one is the least likely. Professor Lupin and Harry on the covered bridge After the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in which Lupin stops Harry from confronting the boggart, Harry and Lupin meet on the covered bridge. In this scene, Lupin says: "The very first time I saw you Harry, I recognized you immediately. Not by your scar, but by your eyes. They're your mother, Lily's. Yes. Oh, yes. I knew her. Your mother was there at a time for me when no one else was. Not only was she a singularly gifted witch, she was also an uncommonly kind woman. She had a way of seeing the beauty in others, even and, perhaps, most especially, when that person could not see it in themselves." The whole time Lupin is talking about Lily, he's facing away from Harry, and almost giving the feeling of reminiscing to himself. Was Lily just nice to Lupin, or did Lily and Remus actually have a relationship before Lily and James got together? If Lily was just nice to Remus, that could go a long way to explain why Lily at first didn't like James, but they somehow ended up together, we don't yet know why. She saw something in James the way she saw something in Lupin when no one else did. If Lily and Remus really did have a relationship, then there could be some emotional events related to this in the period we know so little about leading up to Voldemort killing James and Lily that night in Godrics Hollow. In this scene, Lupin also says: "You're more like them than you know, Harry. In time you'll come to see just how much." Sirius, Ron and Harry in the tunnel to the Shrieking Shack Finally, after the scene in the Shrieking Shack, Harry and Sirius are helping Ron back down the passageway, as Ron is complaining about his injured leg, and Sirius says: "Normally, I have a very sweet disposition as a dog. In fact, more than once, James suggested that I make the change permanent. The tail I could live with. But the fleas, they're murder." Since Order of the Phoenix was published, a great debate has risen among fans as to whether Sirius is really dead or not. In the battle at the Department of Mysteries, after Sirius falls through the veil, Lupin tells Harry, "There's nothing you can do. He cannot come back." So, J.K. is strongly implying that it's a rule, once someone crosses over, they never can come back. But what if there's a loop-hole? Sirius crossed over to the other side of the veil as Sirius. What if he could come back as a dog? He wouldn't be crossing back over, because the dog had never crossed over in the first place. Unfortunately, if he did this, he'd be stuck being a dog, because since he crossed over, Sirius is not allowed on this side of the veil. This could be the most important foreshadowing in the movie. It mentions a way that Sirius might be able to use to come back, and in the end Harry and his Godfather Sirius could be reunited once more. Snape physically protects Harry, Ron and Hermione In the scene when Professor Lupin wolfs out, when Snape is suddenly confronted by the situation, even though he is in the middle of being mad at Harry, Ron and Hermione, his immediate reaction is to put himself between Lupin and the kids to protect them. Although Snape does things in previous books to prevent harm from coming to Harry, for instance, when he does the counter-curse to prevent him from falling off his broom in the first book, he's never done anything nice out in the open. Because of this, Harry still does not trust him. We readers know he's working against the death-eaters in secret for Dumbledore, but can we be sure? This scene makes Erika Hill over at The Quibbler wonder if Snape's actions in this scene is foreshadowing some sacrifice Snape makes later on Harry's behalf. He might even be the character who dies in the future books, and he could do so by physically protecting Harry, allowing us to be sure once and for all that Snape was a good-guy, and forcing Harry to reappraise his feelings about Snape and his motives. Was it something I said? In the book and the movie, the second time we see Professor Trelawney's class is also when Hermione gets fed up with Divination and storms out of the class, the last straw being told by Professor Trelawney that she has no talent for this particular kind of magic. In the book, Professor Trelawney says, "I am sorry to say that from the moment you arrived in this class, my dear, it has been apparent that you do not have what the noble art of Divination requires. Indeed, I don't remember ever meeting a student whose mind was so hopelessly Mundane." However, in the movie, Professor Trelawney, wonderfully played by Emma Thompson, goes much further: "My dear, from the first moment you step foot in my class, I sensed that you did not possess the proper spirit for the noble art of divination. No, you see, there. Oh, you may be young in years, but the heart that beats beneath your bosom is as shrivelled as an old maid's, your soul as dry as the pages of the books to which you so desperately cleave." For Wizard News reader Jesse in Seatte, Washington, this scene triggered a question that Jesse's friends and I had never pondered, which is why is Hermione so smart, seemingly beyond her years? What if Hermione's really a much older witch, taking the guise of a young girl to be closer to Harry while he's at Hogwarts? Perhaps she was sent there by Dumbledore, to protect him. But what if there are sinister motives involved? It's possible that Snape's not the only "double-agent" at Hogwarts!
