Those are very good points, and I do understand them.  But to use your own
points, it would have taken two lines of dialog for Sirius and Lupin to
explain how they became animagi and why.  of course, most likely in the end,
it won't be important to the overall series, but it was disappointing,
because it leaves out so many people's motivations even for things later in
the series.

I think one of the best adaptations of a book to movie ever was to Kill a
Mockingbird.  there were things left out, but the true story was there, the
characters beautifully done, the wisdom and nobility of Atticus portrayed
exceptionally well.  So, it can be done.  oh well.  I guess a fantasy series
is meant to be a visual movie anyway, not really a story.  But I won't miss
anything by missing the movie, because I want story and character.
