You just said 'information overload'.  I'm left wondering how an already
information/action packed book has room for 'leftovers' from the prior
book if this is included with the GOF screen adaptation?

*I'd* get bored from listening to Sirius reminisce with Harry when GOF is
about the mystery and action. {g}

_Prisoner of Azkaban_ did deal with mystery but it also helped lay the
ground for MWPP and how this 'lost' generation still has an impact on
Harry's life.

Evidently, even super!Hermione has limits. ;-)  Yes, the book had Harry be
the one to add 1+1=2.
