I think they would have been wise to tear a page from the East of Eden playbook and film just the last 50 pages as a great movie.
The preceding 1150 pages were a complete snore. I can't see how anyone expects a decent movie to be made from such a craptacular book.
As for the other, I'd have to go back and rewatch Goblet of Fire ... something I'm not eager to do ... but I believe the dialogue was forceful and angry as written, and could not have reasonably been interpreted by another actor as a soothing refrain sung gently while stroking Harry's hair.
