Hm. While I dislike the removal of key scenes such as the background 
of the Shrieking Shack sequence, I think you're looking for 
something to complain about here. There is no need to show that sort 
of stuff, and few books or movies do. It's up to the viewer or the 
reader to use his or her imagination to fill in the blanks. 

For example, in PoA, the book, Chapter 9, Grim Defeat, ends with 
Harry being shown his the shards of his Nimbus 2000. The next 
chapter begins with us being informed Harry is going to stay in the 
hospital wing for the rest of the weekend. We don't see Harry's 
immediate reaction to the destruction of his broom; instead we see 
his feelings a little later. I'm sure if you look through any of the 
HP books, and any book or any movie at all, you'll find plenty of 
example such as that. The mere fact that you were easily capable of 
coming up with something to fill in the missing scene shows how 
completely unnecessary it was to show that scene. It doesn't mean 
it's choppy.

Now the Shrieking Shack? Yeah, that was quite choppy.
