The Magisterium was a Catholic organisation, but that was all cut out for the films! I suppose it's for fear of backlash, although that was where all the depth and colour was in the book. It was a really, really important strand. Also, they cut out about four chapters. Including a massive fight where Lee Scoresby died. You are wrong about Lee Scoresby he dies in the 3rd book not the 1st :P I know because I am in the middle of reading the 3rd one :P I liked the film yeah. But a lot of it was changed form the book. Like tromana said in the quote there was a lot of religion stuff in it and the ending was changed greatly, I really do not know how they will carry it on. But that is all I am going to say :P If you want to know more read the book :P Spoiler: click to toggle It's been a while since I read them. Um... oh yes, it's in the world with spectres isn't it? And Hester sniffs They still cut out 3 chapters though. It was the kid they killed... to break down the walls in the first place facepalm

It's not as if he's going to be around for long. I suppose it'd make quite a good pre-credits sequence...
