[HPFGU-Movie] Re: movie opinions (POA)

I liked PoA, therefore I might not be the right person to answer you 
here, but in spite of the fact that several scenes were cut (due to 
the length of the book), I think it is closer to the books than the 
PoA movie was. IMO; everything they cut in GoF were things they could 
cut or simplify, while the biggest flaw in PoA was that they cut the 
Marauders explanation, of all things. 



Me:  I guess I really don't see why leaving the Marauders explanation out of
POA was such a big thing.  I haven't seen anything in the following books
that hinges on James et al creating that map.  Sure, it's a fun little plot
item that everyone seems to love, but I don't see it being so important to
the overall Harry vs. Voldemort plot.
