Campaign to keep Sean Biggerstaff?

[vincentjh]

Maybe I'm dumb. But I got a little confused here. 

No Oliver Wood = No Quidditch? How does this equation work? The only 
thing we know for sure at this point is that Wood would not be in 
PoA. How people came to the conclusion that they'd toss the game 
aside really puzzled me.

I am also extremely confused at whom/what people are lobbying to 
keep. The character Wood? The actor Sean Biggerstaff? I know the 
actor played the character. But, really, are people concerned about 
the quality of the film without Wood because this character is 
essential in PoA or because no Wood means no Biggerstaff? If the 
point is Biggerstaff, I don't see why not doing another HP would end 
his acting career. As long as he's talented enough, there would be 
other chances for him. Now that he's free from the series, he'd be 
able to do other projects and fans wouldn't need to wait for two 
years to see him on the big screen again. (I, for one, would really 
want to see him playing different characters.) If the point is that 
Wood is a driven force in the plot and he, like many HP characters, 
should not be carelessly left out or ruined, than I am not sure a) 
how the movie Wood that's very different from the book Wood could 
serve the same function as the book Wood in terms of plot 
development, and b) why people hadn't started campaigning for them 
to "keep" Wood or not alter the character when the first movie came 
out.
 
If we are to complain about their treatment of characters, we might 
as well start another campaign for them to keep Harry Potter 'cause I 
don't quite see him there in the movies....And one for Ron Weasley, 
too. Oh, and the twins. And Peeves. And M. Hooch. 

This is difficult to understand. My head hurts. 

O.K. I am dumb.
