So, were there any bits of the PoA film that you felt were better than
the book? I've always felt that there was something wrong with the scene
where Snape confiscates the Marauder's Map from Harry, and then lets
Lupin walk away with it (see the thread starting with post 96041 on
HPfGU for more details
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/message/96041

stressed to Snape that to take it back would have been a challenge to
Lupin's authority; he played the whole scene more aggressively than in
the book. Gone is the "looking around cheerfully" of the book. Gone is
the "I need a word about my vampire essay".

Cheers,

Dumbledad.
