Did you all read the snippet (on Leaky, I think??) whereby Gary Oldman says
that he is just ³embers in the fire² in GOF, hardly appearing at all. I
guess they cut out the part where the trio visits him in the cave where he¹s
eating rats and such! They will probably just have his head appear in the
Griffyndor common room fire to check on Harry. This would give Harry the
opportunity to thank him for the broom that he received at the end of the
POA (for those who didn¹t catch the Buckbeak feather clue!)
He says he figures prominently in OOP (definitely, what with the whole MOM
scene at the end!!), so he hopes to be called back in to do that film. I
hope so too!
