You can cut to him already there and you get it. I don't know ... when you watch a lot of movies you'll see a lot of that. You'll see two characters talking about going somewhere or indicating they need to get to a place and in the next shot they are there.

One thing I did feel was choppy ... or not choppy ... but jumpy and confusing is when Dumledore sees young Tom Riddle for the first time and he's standing up and then sitting down and then we see a lot of random shots and then Dumbledore is talking to him. I was like ... WTF just happened?

I forget the exact speech from the book but I do agree I felt more from the book than the movie in that moment.
Hun I have more movies in my possession than Warner Bros does so I know about transitions and you can't literally have the actors acting out every tiny detail My point was that it was just too choppy and disconnected Just like the scene you mentioned. I felt like a schizophrenic watching that part. Firs the wardrobe was on fire and then we were watching Tom and then Dumbledore and it was moving too fast and not making sense. It was confusing to me too.
