Pippin:
But it doesn't clash. A boggart can have multiple scary forms as 
we learned in OOP. Film is a much more immediate vehicle than 
a novel; the filmmakers have cut or rewritten  *everything*  that 
doesn't resolve in PoA and or set up the situation for GoF. That 
doesn't mean that the prank, for example, is not important. 

The time for the movies to offer a clue that Lupin knows about 
the prophecy will be in the picture when the prophecy is 
resolved...probably not till Seven.
