I have said this before, I like the film PoA as a film in its own 
right, but having just watched it again this evening, it's beginning 
to annoy me more and more in terms of missing out vital bits of the 
book.  Its been discussed to death, but missing out the padfoot, 
prongs, moontail and moony info is just daft (how are they going to 
explain it later?),and the scene in Madame Rosemerta's upstairs 
room...You know, Peter pettigrew, that small, rat like boy who used 
to hang round with James and Sirius...Duh!!  Credit the audience with 
a little intelligence...there are much more subtle ways of condensing 
the story.
GoF is a long book with a lot of story in it, and, of course, all of 
it isn't going to fit into a 2 hour film, some stuff will have to be 
cut out...but Molly?  Isn't she integral?  Aren't the Dursleys for 
that matter?  Does JKR have as much input now?  What does she say?
