In the book Harry passes Lucius the diary inside one of his socks, Lucius takes the diary out of the sock and throws the sock, Dobby catches it and is set free.
In the movie Harry passes Lucius the diary and he gives it to Dobby thinking of it as useless now, Harry makes Dobby open the diary and inside is a sock and he's set free.

I personally prefer the movie version, it's sneakier and kind of better justifies Lucius wanting to attack Harry because it's Harry's cunning rather than Lucius' stupidity that's to blame.
What do you guys think and is there anything else you liked better in the film rather than the movie.

The movie did that part better. That was one of the few things that they did better in the movie.

Oh, I definately prefer the sock in the diary.
I never noticed it was different in the book, I must re-read it.

Diary in a sock.
Dunno why it would be sock in a diary, 'cause who knows if anyone will open the diary to find the sock.
