POA Movie - view from a non-reader

[pandrea100]

I have to say, all the complaints I have heard about the supposed 
confusion over the Map & Marauders parts of the film, have been from 
people who are avid fans of the books.  I think people who haven't 
read them seem to just go with it, while people who have are 
moaning "oh, it doesn't make sense".  Which doesn't make sense to ME, 
because how can you pretend you haven't read them and imagine being 
confused about something you in fact know backwards?  I mean, I could 
see the argument if people were just disappointed/angry their 
favourite part was left out, but it seems to me that the criticism is 
being more directed at the movie being confusing because of stuff 
being left out.  Since I have read the books, and therefore have no 
trouble following the story, I don't really see why I should care if 
they might possibly confuse some hypothetical non-reader - especially 
when, as I say, all the ones I've heard from don't actually have a 
problem.
