But what I think Alina means, is that the movie didn't explain 
itself.  There wasn't a lot of glue to the different little episodes 
and unless you were anticipating the next event, it most likely 
didn't make sense.  

I also think that by changing the events that occured between the 
Shreiking Shack and hospital wing and leaving out the enraged Snape 
with Fudge, they've left a big gap for GoF.  For example, I think 
one of the reasons Snape is so nasty in GoF is because of Black's 
escape.

Potioncat (OK I admit it, I'm pretending lofty ideals but I really 
wanted to see Alan Rickman do a Sheriff of Nottingham as Snape)
