Will Azkaban "explanations" be acted out as "in the past" scenes?

That's what I'd prefer too, and what I tend to "see" when I'm reading 
the book.  It would add to the visual aspect of the production and I 
think help keep the film moving.
I think how the Shreiking Shack scene is handled will be what makes 
or breaks the film version of PoA.  It is, IMNSHO, one of the best 
pieces of writing JKR has produced so far: intensly dramatic, 
emotionally charged, and simply captivating.  But I suspect it will 
be difficult to translate to film--it's very dialogue and exposition-
heavy, and in the hands of a weak cast and/or director it could end 
up dragging the film to a halt, instead of being the dramatic high 
point it should be.  Here's hoping it's put into competent hands.
