   Mr. Dicks, I don't know if you have read any of the books. I know many   
   people haven't and just watch the movies. I think there is a problem   
   with that, but that it's not entirely of your making.   
      
   The books are far richer than the movies (isn't that always the way).   
   The series of 7 books are like one long mystery and in each book a new   
   answer is revealed leading us closer to the ultimate reveal in book 7.   
   The movies were produced and released as the books were still being   
   written and Rowling guarded her the answers to her mysteries very   
   passionately and I'm pretty sure she didn't want to reveal too much to   
   the movie makers for fear of exposing those secrets.   
      
   That being the case, and coupled with the movies being adaptations   
   (something I understand as an avid reader and movie goer; I never   
   expect a movie to be exactly like the book, only that the SPIRIT of   
   the book and the characters be present), many plot points were left   
   out as the series went along because the movie makers didn't realize   
   that that particular plot point would be important later.
