Yeah, that would have been a good idea. I really hated the way they trunkated the stuff at the Ministry of Magic. I guess they figured room after room of stuff was repetitive, but no set up for the veil-thingy where Sirius later dies left his death too dry for my tastes.
On the other hand, I like the way they collapsed all the Delores Umbridge stuff and comedified it a bit. Mixed bag, but I think they did a decent job trying to fit that tome into an acceptable movie running time.
