As an example, find attached the entire first chapter from Harry Potter 5 written in about five script pages.  I don't think Steve Kloves had such a hard job after all.
Me: Do you find it odd that CF's top two loves rank last in his Bouncy rankings? x_x
mike89: yes. yes i do.
mike89: but then i find CF odd.
Me: so do I.

The odds of meeting a TSCer randomly on the street, at any given time anywhere in the world, is approximately 15,785,611 to 1 ... and growing.

Assuming Steve Kloves is the man who wrote the screenplay for the Harry Potter films, I don't think he had a hard job either. How hard is it to turn lame books ito even lamer films?

Could we just please focus on my adaptation?  I think I'll have to add the Mrs. Figg sequence later, looking back at it now it's important to the plot...

On second thought, just make a passing reference to Figg later in the rescued from 4 Prive drive scene.

Well I haven't read your adaptation. However, on account of my opinion of the fifth book, I doubt I'd like the adaptation. :)

It's actually okay, considering I'm not getting paid to do this...
