Totally. The original lines have resonance beyond the play's particular situation, and the new lines are very specific, and besides that, overstate the point in the case of the Witch being swallowed by the ground (I liked the ambiguity of what her fate would be.), and miss the point with regards to the lines about the baby. They tried this half-assed thing where for a moment it seems like the Witch is going to take the baby with her, which is why the lines were changed...but it wasn't convincing, and again not nearly as resonant as the original lines, and the emotions behind them.
