[HPFGU-Movie] why I was uncomfortable with the Aunt Marge scene

Having re-read that passage, is the Aunt Marge scene still funny? Less
so for me.<<<

In reference to your comment about how the depiction of Aunt Marge in the
PoA movie reminded you of the Muggle-attack at the Quidditch World Cup in
book 4, perhaps this is one of the things that made JKR think Cuaron was
onto something. I don't remember her exact quote, but she said something
about how some of the things he did in the movie gave her goosebumps because
it foreshadowed other things. But I don't remember if she said it
foreshadowed things the movie audience hasn't seen (i.e., books 4 and 5
included) or the book audience (i.e., unpublished books 6 & 7).

I am just relistening to Order of the Phoenix on BOT and when Harry goes
after the demontors that are attacking him and Dudley the text mentions
that they soar away.  I had not remembered a reference to their soaring
before so this surprised me.<<<

Again, since this is depicted in the PoA movie (although I thought dementors
were supposed to glide), maybe this is another thing that JKR thought was an
inspired foreshadowing, since she would probably remember that she wrote a
line in the 5th book about them "soaring."

If I'm wrong about her quote, and she specifically refers to the unwritten
works, please correct (and forgive) me.
