* FauxAffablyEvil: Valentine starts off being able to good-naturedly hold his own with Tom on the value of historical objects they recover, and even makes a speech apologising to the residents of Salzhaken after their leader is assaulted by London's thugs - but as Bevis points out, he's only friendly until you get in his way...

This is in spite of the fact that Hester's "disfigurement" consists of a couple of lines across her cheek that are barely noticeable.

** Katherine and Bevis were love interests to each other in the book, but in the film outside of one significant look when they first meet this isn't alluded to.
** In the books, Katherine and Thaddeus Valentine were very close with one another, with Katherine describing Thaddeus as more like a best-friend than a father and is unwilling to believe that he could be involved with the MEDUSA plot until 2/3rds of the way through the novel. In turn Katherine functions as Thaddeus' MoralityPet to the point where her calling him out on his [[spoiler:and Magnus Crome's plan to destroy Batmunhk Gompa and kill innocent people]] causes him to develop doubts about whether he's really doing the right thing. In the film this closeness is absent due to the two of them have only a few scenes together, with Katherine being immediately suspicious of her father the moment it seems he’s withholding information from her and near the climax Thaddeus only seems briefly swayed by her words before he chooses to ignore them and continue with his plan.
