He also added a scene where all of the DAs got punished. Too bad they didn't include a scene about seeing Neville's parents at St. Mungo's. I could go on and on. Glad that he didn't come back to do the rest of the movies. Boy, glad I got that off my chess.

Well, off to NYC and I'll see Equus on Friday!!!!!

He's saying she can easily write "Harry and Sirius spoke" whereas on film you have to be more detailed. You can't just have exposition all the time, you have to show the audience, not just tell them.
