Somethings going to be cut from PoA

(I just loved the voices Stephen Fry made to go with the map at this 
point in his reading of PoA, I had to rewind the tape and listen to 
it several times, I thought he did it so well. Especially the way the 
tone of each successive insult becomes increasingly affected.)
However, as Joann points out, this would be difficult to translate to 
the screen.

I think that with some creative direction they will be able to leave 
it in. In my mind I picture something like this:

Snape starts commanding the map to reveal it's secrets, and then we 
see the look on Snape's face change. He crouches lower for a better 
look, at which the camera changes to Snapes POV as he (and the 
audience) reads the rude remarks. It's really no different that the 
way the audience was able to read Tom's entries as they appeared in 
the diary while Harry was reading them.

I only hope that Cuaron doesn't employ the irritating "read-it-out-
loud-so-the-children-who-can't-read" device; Snape would never read 
something like that aloud; it would go totally against his character.
