This Spoils the Ending
In the Book In the Movie
   Though Éponine and the Thénardiers have been living next door to Marius for some time, it is not until shortly before Valjean's kidnapping that they meet formally. Éponine appears to have been working with the revolutionaries for some time.
   Javert happens to be situated outside the sewers when Valjean emerges, having tailed Thénardier to that point earlier, and does not initially recognise him. Javert is outside the sewers expressly waiting for Valjean when the latter emerges, recognising him immediately.
   Gavroche points Javert out to Enjolras, saying that the policeman has attempted to apprehend him on a few occasions. Gavroche points out Javert's true identity when the latter tries to give the revolutionaries false information concerning the intended attacks.
   Valjean writes Marius and Cosette one final letter explaining the means through which he earned his fortune, meant to prove his honesty. Valjean leaves Cosette one final message explaining the story of his past.
   Marius first sees Cosette and Valjean during a walk he takes in the Luxembourg gardens, and intentionally continues to see them until he tries to follow them home, leading to Valjean suspending their visits to the gardens. Marius sees Cosette and Valjean once, across a nonspecific street, and doesn't see them again until he visits the Rue Plumet.
