However, with the elimination of the MWPP explanation, there was one 
glaring hole for me in the POA movie.  When Harry produced his 
patronus, there was no explanation given that his father had been a 
stag animagi.  As I recall, there was reference that he thought he 
saw his father, but you never learned the significance of the stag.  
For that matter, they only showed the stag once; the other patronus 
shots were that "shield" effect.  I thought that was a major flaw in 
the film, since that makes the whole patronus thing so much more 
emotional.>>

This was my biggest complaint about the movie.  I just think it was
important to include the backstory of the map and why James, 
Sirius, and Peter learned to be animagius. My youngest
sister questioned the whole scene in which Snuffles tries to control
Lupin's werewolf.  It would have been nice to see Sirius change too,
because she didn't know where the dog came from. Yes, there is 
conversation as to Sirius being a dog, but it very casual and younger
views may not have caught it. Unless you read the book, that is just a 
little confusing to an average viewer, I would think. 

And by the way (picking up from another thread), I too was really 
upset that so many of Harry's lines were given to Hermione.  She did 
all the thinking and he got dragged along.  What a twisting of the 
characters!>>

Hermione did not bother me in this movie, like it seems to have bothered
other people on this list, however, I do see their point. On twisting
of characters though, one thing I noticed that kind of bothered me was
the whole Harry and Draco "hate" relationship.  Shortly after arriving
to Hogwarts, Draco taunts Harry about the Dementors and Ron kind of 
"protects" Harry. Then later in the movie, during the Buckbeak scene,
Harry does seem to defend himself at first but then Hermione steps in
to get Harry away from Draco. Harry has always been able to handle 
himself around Draco.  I don't think he needed his friends to step in
for protection.  Just my .02
