Cedric Diggory cut from PoA

Hi guys.

Yes, I'm afraid to say Hufflepuff stud-muffin and original "spare" 
boy Cedric Diggory will NOT appear in the forthcoming movie PoA.

How do I know this? Well, a very good friend of mine is an actor, and 
his casting agents were liasing with WB to secure an audition for the 
role of Cedric. It looked all systems go until about a week ago, when 
his casting agency was told that a Cedric would not be required for 
PoA, only GoF, when it's made. It was a late cut from the cast list.

I trust my mate, it wouldn't bullsh*t me on this, he knows how 
obsessed I am about his slight (very slight) potential role in the HP 
films, so I take it as 99% definite there's no Cedric in PoA.

What do you guys think of this? It was only a small part in PoA, but 
I think it's important to establish Ced's existence in order to get 
the full impact of his death in GoF.

Peace,
