thats a plot point, not a directorial method. its still a magical world and should still have all those shots, such as the moving pictures, ghosts, etc. I felt the last film sorely lacked "magic" aside from characters doing specific spells I felt we really lost that general sense of enchantment. Thats all I'm saying is a good director, writing crew, etc doesn't need to resort to taking out the magical elements out of the film to tell the plot of the magical world threatening the real world. The books don't remove that. A simple example is cutting out the house elves from the last film, not giving us better shots of Umbridges cat plates, etc little stuff. Little stuff like the dancing leprechaun fireworks in Goblet of Fire or all of Lockharts moving pictures of himself goes a LONG way in establishing that enchanted world.
