Irene...The whole Trewlawney subject was brought up on another 
message board that i visit today! How can they cut her...She is the 
one who first brings up the subject of the grim and she also predicts 
Pettigrews return to YKW!!

I will be terribly mad if they waste time on the knight bus when the 
shrieking shack confontation is the scene that needs the most time 
spent!! The more I think about what they could do to this movie..the 
madder I get...I didn't really have this problem with PS/SS because I 
saw the movie before I read any of the books..Yes, I am fairly new to 
the Potter world, but have bedcome a full fledged Potterholic...And I 
thought CoS was good although..IMO..it could have been 
better..cough..valentines day..cough..Mr. Weasley and Mr. Malfoy's 
fight..cough!!

I am waiting to see what else will be cut...perhaps the whole part 
about Lupin being a werewolf...maybe they will all just go to the 
shrieking shack for a cup of tea instead....lol
