Yo Richard,
I do understand that films do not work the same way as the written 
word, but what I was trying rather clumsily to say is that sometimes 
the "clues" the HP series or the BIG moments are there but they can 
just seem to *pop* out of nowhere, no context. Granted there was no 
need for, at least the film maker didn't see any need to reference 
WMPP very clearly in POA, to get his story across, but I sure would 
have relished hearing someone tell Harry his father always 
transformed into a stag. It can seem abrupt and truncated not to 
hear about these bits of information, no matter how handily the need 
for them can be explained away. But do you agree for better or worse 
that the stuff we see on the screen is essential to the
advance of JKR's narrative? Down to the absolute bone 
perhaps but the important stuff nevertheless?
