[HPFGU-Movie] A wacky theory about Trelawny's part

  Okay, I have been combing through websites upon websites, and I still 
  haven't seen any evidence who will be playing Professor Trelawney, or 
  that we will even HAVE a Trelawney. Considering how important her 
  role is in books 3-5, I refuse to believe that Cuaron would have cut 
  her out completely.

  Which leads me to this unlikely and farfetched theory:
  On Mugglenet.com, I noticed that in the cast list for the third 
  movie, an actress named Sally Mortemore seems to be billed as playing 
  Madam Pince (the librarian). This struck me as noticeably odd, 
  because I have read PoA twice, and I don't remember any instances 
  where Madam Pince did or said anything even remotely important or 
  memorable enough to make it into a movie. The actress has appeared in 
  the previous HP movies, as a nameless background ornament (you might 
  see her at the teacher's table during the grand hall scenes). So why 
  would they give her any billing at all, placing her up with the ranks 
  of Lupin, Snape, and the rest of the teachers?

  My wacky theory is this: Perhaps Cuaron has re-written the script 
  because he likes Ms. Mortemore and wanted to give her a bigger part; 
  therefore he transferred Trelawney part to Pince, so the creepy 
  predictions and airy-fairy demeanor will still exist, but they will 
  be played be a different teacher (it's kind of like when Hermione 
  asked McGonagall to describe the Chamber of Secrets, when in the book 
  it was actually Professor Binns who had this honor).

  What do you think?

  That could be.  I think it's strange myself there's no Trelawney.  There's a lot of humor there, and her prediction!  They wrote the script for POA before OOP came out though, and didn't realize how important she would be.  

  I've been thinking, they probably will run into that with Neville too.  They cut most of his parts out.  He's going to be important.  Does Neville have any good scenes in POA?  I'm having a brain freeze, and can't think of any!
