Perhaps the gaps are less obvious if you've not read the books?

Dunno - if (as I infer) you've not read the books, did the film(s) make sense to you? It seems to me that without the background of the books, the films are just incredibly thin excuses for a lot of running around and flashes of bright light and people wandering around in school uniform, & there are gazillions of films that do that a lot better. I mean, Batman & Robin fulfils all those criteria and has more plot, and that's saying something.

And I have been told several times about the MAN-EATING BADGERS but it doesn't grow old. :-) I mean... "UK military spokesman Major Mike Shearer said: 'We can categorically state that we have not released man-eating badgers into the area.'" [from bbc news (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/6295138.stm)] Wouldn't you just love to be the one to make that official announcement? I would.

The BBC changed the picture after the first day, too, from a dainty-looking badger to a more thuggish-looking one. Not that I'm obsessed, you know.
