Well JKR only agreed to let WB do the movie if she had say on the 
screen play. Since David and Chris are still involved in the 
production one has to assume that JKR is happy with what is going on.

Second, they put Quiddich in because there was protest? Come on in 
modern film making the whole movie is blocked out before the cameras 
even roll. Especially with computer graphics. There was a good 
chance the Quiddich match was completed last fall, except for Dan's 
live action part.

What I have seen so far they are as true to the story as the other 
two movies. They even got the Knight Bus color correct.
