I can't see any other way to have Harry learn to confront dementors 
than by going to Lupin straight away after the incident on the train 
unless the writers are going to actually create plot. So far they 
have only cut plot, embellished plot, skirted around plot or 
condensed plot. They've never acutally just created a plotline. As 
much as I hate to think of it, I can't see how the Firebolt will be 
in the film and make sense if the Quidditch is left out. And because 
these are action movies, (okay, I do have some hope left that Cuaron 
will give some time to the Shreiking Shack...) Harry's going right to 
Lupin will be only a brief event. There won't even be time to 
contemplate it. That's my thought on it.

By the way, I think the Knight Bus will take Harry straight to the 
train station and Platform 9 and 3/4. Does anyone know if this is the 
case? I think I read that Fudge won't be in this movie. Tell me I am 
wrong.
