In the main point of comparison between continuities, the book version of Dumbledore trapped Voldemort in a sphere of water that proved decisive, forcing the dark wizard to teleport away and change tactics, while in the film Voldemort breaks out of it directly, piercing the prison with an spell against Harry that gets Dumbledore distracted enough for Voldemort to dispel entirely the sphere.
The film version of Voldemort becomes Dumbledore's equal in magic power where his book version was clearly outmatched (although this is also related to Dumbledore becoming also weaker - see Adaptational Wimp below). 
Additionally, in the Ministry, he doesn't get hit with a curse that makes him The Load and helps fight off the Death Eaters more effectively than he did in the book.
Ron gets a few moments he didn't have in the book notably publicly defending Harry in the common room, casting a Patronus in the DA and trying to fight off his restraints when Umbridge says she'll torture Harry. After Harry gives Lucius Malfoy the prophecy, Sirius says to Lucius "Get away from my godson!" and punches him in the face, which never occurred in the book, though Sirius did do a fairly similar thing to Antonin Dolohov. Lucius also shows his aggressive duelling prowess in the aforementioned scene with Moody, while in the book he's too focused on getting the prophecy to do much duelling. In the film, we see him casually stun a Death Eater with his staff and later holding his own against two others at once (which in the book was done by Kingsley). In the book, Moody is the first member of the Order to go down during the final battle, to the point we don't see him actually trade hits on page. Both of them are also shown casting Patronuses in the DA meeting, which they didn't appear to be able to do in the book (Ginny's Patronus was never even revealed in the books). Both of them get moments where they fight off Death Eaters Luna uses Levicorpus to send a Death Eater flying, and Ginny hits one with such a strong Reductor Curse that she destroys most of the shelves. Ginny didn't do anything of note in the Department of Mysteries in the book, and neither in fact did Luna. She also successfully catches the DA in the Room of Requirement, and learns of them through tricking Cho into drinking veritaserum - while in the book she relied on a snitch and even then didn't catch them. In the film, her reign of terror at Hogwarts is basically unimpeded until her final Humiliation Conga. 
Even the students get in on the act, with jokes, pranks, and other cleverness running Umbridge ragged despite her best efforts, which causes that she ultimately doesn't actually accomplish much in the book. In the book, the Hogwarts staff use copious amounts of Bothering by the Book, along with occasional outright defiance, to make her job more difficult, and her tenure as Hogwarts' Headmistress practically impossible.
Dolores Umbridge, in support of her Adaptational Villainy. She's played by the gorgeous Evanna Lynch and her unusual fashion sense is portrayed as endearingly quirky rather than unflattering. Downplayed with Luna Lovegood, who in the book is described as having Messy Hair and appears to be average looking. Imelda Staunton's portrayal of her is far more attractive, creating a huge contrast between her sweet grandmotherly appearance and the evil deeds she does. Umbridge in the book is described as looking like a toad. She does at least have bad teeth and is quite pale, but still much more attractive than her book version. Here she's played by Helena Bonham Carter, who personifies Evil Is Sexy. In the book, Bellatrix Lestrange is mentioned as having been very attractive before her stay in Azkaban, but not in the present. It's said in the book that she spends most of the time alone and crying, and her first kiss with Harry is rendered quite awkward because of how she can't stop thinking about Cedric at first. 
Cho's grief for Cedric is toned down in the film.The former is left out of the film completely, while the latter is only kept to a hint in the final battle. It's also suggested that he sees Harry as a Replacement Goldfish for his father. Sirius is dealing with cabin fever at having to stay locked up in Grimmauld Place, and it's hinted that he's turning into an alcoholic by Christmas.Likewise, the moment where he punches Draco for insulting his mother and his expulsion from Quidditch is removed. Harry doesn't fly into frequent ALL CAPS rants of rage at his friends nor does he rage at Dumbledore during the final scenes as in the book the movie instead portrays his inner struggle throughout the plot as one of bleak isolation because of his tribulations rather than angry frustration from feeling like he's treated with kid gloves too often.
