   JK Rowling says that Prisoner of Azkaban director Alfonso Cuaron
   inadvertantly foreshadowed events from books six and seven in the
    latest movie. 

   Any thoughts on which parts of PoA foreshadow 6 and 7?

In  my opinion:  I was surprised by 3 bits of mystery in the Books
that were reinforced in PoA, and point towards more revelation in
Books 6 & 7. 

1. Stonehenge: In OoP, there is foreshadowing that we might be headed
towards Stonehenge although it is never specifically mentioned. And
not, to my knowledge, foreshadowed prior to OoP.  In the film, there
is a Stonehenge-like set just outside the bridge.  The possible
Stonehenge references in OoP, include Lucus Malfoy's address in the
town that Stonehenge is in, the many references to circles and stones,
and the release of the book on the Summer Solstice.

2. Remus:  In the books, Remus seems to be fighting a strong emotional
 bond to Harry. One that is greater than what would be expected from
his friendship with James. He shivers when he touches Harry on the
shoulder, etc. There's more to Remus than has been revealed. Remus's
discussion with Harry in the film focuses more on Lily than James. I
was surprised by that and the depth of feeling revealed.  There's more
to Remus than we yet know and the PoA film seems to strongly reinforce
that. 

3. Dementors:  I think it's debatable in the book PoA to what degree
the Dementors have specifically singled out Harry.  We know they are
sent to attack him in OoP.  I have always thought they were aware of
Harry specifically, and if given the opportunity, would take him out
too. The film PoA seems to reinforce the idea that the Dementors are
out to get Harry specifically. And if the Dementors have always been
interested in getting Harry, more will have to be revealed in Books 6
and 7.
