[Frazod]

Oh, one other thing the movie left out

Spoiler!

Feyd tries to assassinate the Baron by hiding a poisoned needle on the thigh of one of his boy toys. The only reason the Baron survives is because Hawat warns him about it. Hawat still hates the Harkonnens, and actively but subtly pits them against each other. The Baron rightly never trusts him, and poisons Hawat early on, while having the antidote to the poison added to his meals to keep him alive. At the end of the book, the Baron has withdrawn the antidote, and the poison kills him. He dies in Paul's arms.
