[HPFGU-Movie] Re: Campaign to keep Sean Biggerstaff?

[LeeMunLim03 at aol.com]

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. 


My question to you is why have all the same cast if they are cutting wood!
