If you remember, Hagrid was not a teacher at the end of CoS.  The 
reason the Ravenclaws are not happy about Hagrid being at school in 
book 5, is that they do not care for the way he teaches.  I believe 
they still like him.  Even Harry, Ron, and Hermione are not thrilled 
with his classes, yet they still love him.

Considering the filming schedules they have set up for Gof, it begins 
in April, I think we will see the kids for a while yet.  The movies 
still make enough money, that they will be able to pay the kids to 
appear.  It will be a blow to the series to recast.  And I believe 
that WB is just smart enough to realize that.  (At least I hope they 
are.  But as you all know, "suits" are not all that intelligent.)

Personally, I think the stories are wonderful entertainment.  I will 
reserve my judgement about them until I actually see them.
