Kyle, for ohe last time, there WILL BE QUIDDITCH! David Heyman, Dan 
Radcliffe and Chris Columbus have all confirmed it. Repeat after 
me, "There will be quidditch in PoA!", chant this in your sleep ;), 
it'd help your blood-pressure.

Also Kyle can you give us the links to where you see Seamus and 
Neville's actors were changed? Chances are that you did not find any, 
right? (what are you worrying about?)

Can you grasp the understanding that film-making is a collective 
effort, it's about many things that worked together. So a slight 
little changes in prop design, or recasting some minor background 
nobodies ("Tom the innkeep" who?) are LEAST likely going to ruin the 
film.

*Please* Chris Columbus does not OWN Harry Potter, his interpretation 
are NOT the one and only final ways, and shouldn't be taken as 
the "canon".  He interpret his own version for the 1st two films. But 
now PoA is Alfonso's vision, not Columbus anymore. Plus Columbus's 
the producer of the film now, and he seems to pass "greenlight" to 
all of Alfonso's decisions. So your problem is: overreacting. Some of 
the claims you made are mostly illogical and unreasonable, such as 
complaining about change of cast when there aren't. Calm down, okay?

As many people has tell you before, most people have faith in 
Alfonso, as we see him being a better artist than Columbus. 
As a reader, we all have our own vision of HP in our head, just 
because Columbus brought the 1st two in his ways, does not mean 
Alfonso has to be slave to what Columbus has started (neither do you 
as an audience). So Alfonso is welcome to change things accordingly. 
And so far the changes he made are *NOT* stretched at all. (let me 
remind you, Heyman and Columbus both "okay" Alfonso's decision in 
order for him to proceed)
