I think you're right, Millie, JKR was a presence on set and beforehand, but 
there's been no indication that she participated in the editing, more's the pity. 
Several scenes were filmed but not used -- they've shown up in previews, 
among other inidcations -- so even if she saw the script, she didn't necesarily 
approve the final cut.
