Hey Hey, not EVERYBODY loves them, okay? Just speak for yourself, 
please.

I'm among the people who don't think Flint is important at all and  
the removal of this character IS necessary to give time for far more 
important things. Do you even remember what PoA is about? It's not 
Wood and Flint and Quiddtich, okay? There are so many far more 
important MAIN storylines and MAIN characters to cover in PoA for a 3 
hours (or near 3 hours) movie.  The entire Sirius, Lupin, Peter 
conflict would takes up more than half of the movie, okay? 

Remember Buckbeak? time turner/travel? Shierking Shack? Hogsmead? 
Sirius's terrorism on school? Backstory of MWPP+Snape? Plus other 
transistional stuffs (ex: Dursley, Hogwart express) these all 
practically takes up at lesat 3 hours, can't you see?

Please try to think realistically! The movie could only be as long as 
3 hours (even though you wish it's 4-8 hours, it's not gonna happen!) 
Some cut HAS to be made. Which you prefer to be cut? Quiddtich house 
cup or the Shierking Shack? Wood or Buckbeak? Flint or time 
turner/travel? 

And I for one is tired of seeing Quiddtich on the big screen. It's 
been done, nothing new. so I hope the PoA movie would keep Quidditch 
as minimum as possbile (just the essential).
