Cedric Diggory cut from PoA

[dan1575 <dan1575@yahoo.com>]

Hello everyone, I'm new on this board so bear with me. 

I'd just like to say that I quite agree with Susan on this. The three
quidditch matches in PoA are very important. If not, why JK Rowling
wrote three separate chapters on it? By far, they were the most
thrilling quidditch matches that Ms Rowling had written. It truly
saddens me to hear this news that they will be cut, especially since
I reread the Hufflepuff match and the Ravenclaw match in PoA last
night. I can only hope that this isn't true.
