phineasjonesok, i just read a very spoilery review of PoA and... well. there's a lot to look forward to, it seems. only one thing i find disappointing.
-The Shrieking Shack: This scene was WAY too fast. They don't go into the fact that Prongs is James, Padfoot is Sirius, etc., or that the three became Animagi for Lupin. They could have made it about two minutes longer, explained the whole history behind why Sirius is there trying to do what he's trying to do, and it would have been much better.
the idea that the scene could be at all fast is... crazy. i mean, i see that they'd have to do it differently from the book where they just talk and talk and talk but... hm. well, it's really unfortunate not to get in the animagi thing. i wonder how that will affect things in the future, whether they'll have to correct that. but it's sad at any rate because that's an important element of revealing the intense devotion the four of them had to each other.
it's not crazy awful though. it's not something like, lupin never goes to the shrieking shack or some such craziness. the review mentions lots of other places where the movie departs from the book... and they all seem workable. i remain optimistic.
