I know they obviously have to condense things for the film versions, but my goodness, this seems like another important thing to make sure the audience understands- that Sirius loved Lily and James, and that he loves Harry. Pretty much a classic example of the book showing us how much Sirius cares and the movie telling us he cares. In the book, because of the discussion about what really happened to Lily and James, we are given a chance to trust Sirius and to understand how much he cared about Lily and James and Harry. If you didn't already know the story, it would probably have been difficult to understand what had really happened. They spit it out in a sentence and then just moved on. Which is a pretty fucking important thing to explain. The movie really, really skimmed over the whole 'it was Peter, not Sirius, who gave up Lily and James' thing. BUT, on the contrary, the book is quite explicit about the Firebolt being exceptionally easy to ride, almost like it can read Harry's mind, yet in the movie it takes off like it has a mind of it's own and while Harry is clearly exhilarated, he does not seem to be in control of the Firebolt. I almost think that's better, because Sirius is traveling on Buckbeak and if he was that difficult to ride I imagine it wasn't easy for Sirius. This was quite explicit in the book, and yet in the movie Harry is enjoying himself quite a bit while riding Buckbeak. He never mentions who the creators of the map were! What the hell?! He takes the map from Snape, claiming it's probably a Zonko's gag, and then calls it a map to Harry, expresses a clear understanding of exactly what it is, and yet never explains how he knows.īuckbeak is supposed to be difficult to ride on. Lupin never explains the Marauder's Map to Harry.

So I've just watched PoA, and I am not at all surprised that I was so fuckin confused the first time. It's worth noting that PoA is my favorite book in the series (or at least tied with DH). Anyway, I have since read the entire series and am currently re-reading it, and then watching the corresponding movie. I swear, I didn't know what the hell was going on in the movie half the time. Yes, I wish I'd read the books first, mainly because I found a lot of the movies to be confusing.

My boyfriend was a big fan of the Harry Potter series when he was a kid, but I had never read them (or seen the movies).
