Yes, I had read about that scene at the opening where usually it's Harry that we see in some poor situation at his house. This time, with Hermoine...almost as though the director wants us to realize that the movie may be more about her this time...or at least highlights the sacrifices that she makes for her friend's sake. She casts the Obliviate spell and suddenly every picture in the house starts losing the image of Hermoine. Was that in the book? If so, I don't remember it standing out the way it did on the screen.

Oh yeah...something I did not like about the opening...the very first scene, you hear tht Minister of Magic talking,,,but you only see his eye! What was that about? It was almost comical.
