[I still care]

A lot of it yes, but in book 2 Harry is sent a notice that he used an unauthorized "hover charm" and will be expelled if he uses it again. (Although he didn't do it.)

That part is totally left out of the movie, and while I figured that well, it probably just didn't figure into the story, now that I know the director is a liberal I think maybe they just didn't want to explore that part of the book.

You know the new director is a liberal; who knows what Columbus thought.

I think the most disturbing part of that scene was the fact that the Ministry of Magic knew about and responded to the incident in a matter of minutes, a point even Rowling didn't delve into.
