No Oliver? Whaat?? (was: Quidditch in PoA)

[Calliope]

::picks jaw up off floor, reattaches::

I can't BELIEVE this!  No Oliver Wood?  No more yummy Sean Biggerstaff (one of
the few characters I don't feel guilty drooling over)?  

I feel sick. ::reaches for slug-bucket::

I hope his does not mean they're cutting out all the Quidditch. I mean, they
were able to do the match in CoS without Madam Hooch, but come on... no Oliver
Wood?  He's the leader of the freakin' team!  We won't get to see Oliver look
like he could kiss Hermione for fixing Harry's glasses.  I wonder if we will get
to hear Fred (or George, can't remember) say, "He's still in the showers...we
think he's trying to drown himself."  Or will they cut out the Twins as well?  I
guess we won't be seeing a big celebration after Gryffindor wins the Quidditch
cup.  Why must TPTB cut wonderfully sappy moments like that (and the H/H hug
from SS) yet insert other sappy moments that don't exist in the book (the Hagrid
lurve fest at the end of CoS)?  I'd love to see the Gryffindor Quidditch
lurve-fest.  At least it's canon...

Grrrr...

of her ears and all*

is NOT in PoA.  Why?  Can you really make a HP movie with no Quidditch?  Can
they possibly eliminate the Quidditch cup?  Harry falling from his broom?  What
is the point of making the movie exactly?  I suppose you could by some stretch
of the imagination have Quidditch without Oliver Wood, but what is Harry
supposed to do, play by himself?  Who wants to organize the complaint list?  :)
