[HPFGU-Movie] "Show, don't tell" applied to PoA

Alshain:
A lot of the action in PoA is second-hand before we come to the
Shrieking Shack scenes (Harry listening to Arthur and Molly arguing,
hiding beneath a table to hear the teachers talk about Sirius Black,
remembering his parents' murders when confronted with the Dementors).
I'd be curious to know what the rest of the fandom thinks the director
should do about this -- flashbacks, alternating perspectives, or what? 

I'd love to see an opening scene from Azkaban (midnight, figures in
dark cloaks, zooming in on Sirius during one of his nightmares,
hearing him mutter in his sleep "He's at Hogwarts"), but is it too
much to hope for, seeing that the latest two films have focused on
Harry's perspective? 

Taryn:
Probably not too much to hope for. Previous directoral styles in the two first movies shouldn't be too much of a precedent--after all, we have a new director on board! I'd love to see some of the tidbits you've suggested.
