Opening of OotP

Alora:
I hope they keep the opening of OoP.  I want to see Harry rescued by 
everyone, and hear Tonks ask Moody, "Who do you know who's lost a 
buttock?"  

Do you all think they will take this part out or leave it in?  I'm 
thinking they can fit it in quickly and get Harry to #12 within the 
first 15 min at least.  What do you guys think?


I sincerely hope they leave it in as well as the entirety of the beginning scene. I'm thinking the Dementor attack and the Dursley's, followed by the group, is important for the audience to know. The Dementors show the Ministry losing control, the Dursley's show the important aspect of Harry NEEDING to be there when Aunt Petunia gets the Howler from Dumbledore, and the group that rescues Harry from the Dursley home is an important aspect simply in informing the audience of the Order of the Phoenix and who is really involved. So, leaving this entire section out, I'm thinking, might complicate matters for the next two films following if the audience is not informed enough about OOTP, Harry's protection spell, and Ministry of Magic fumbling. Just my 2 cents.
