Barb now:

I thought I had heard that the movie was opening with the World Cup? 

I agree that the Molly-hug is a TERRIBLE thing to cut! Let's just 
hope that they don't give the hug to Hermione! 

The graveyard scene had to be at least relatively close to the 
Riddle house, because Daddy Riddle's bone was used, and they were 
buried in the Little Hangelton graveyard (GOF, pg 4, Am. ed.). On 
page 636, it says "They were standing instead in a dark and 
overgrown graveyard; the black outline of a small church was visible 
beyond a large yew tree to their right. A hill rose above them to 
their left. Harry could just make out the outline of a fine old 
house on the hillside." Since the Riddle house is described as being 
on a hill overlooking the village (page 1), I am assuming that the 
house described is the Riddle house. So I guess that could be the 
only time the Riddle house is in the movie. But I am hoping that the 
whole Frank Brice thing/Harry dreaming it is still in the movie-just 
maybe in a different spot. It seems like a lot of trouble to go to, 
building the Riddle house only to show it in the background of 1 
scene.

GOF is my favorite book-I cannot wait to see the movie! I know it 
will be very different from the book (as were the others), but 
hopefully I can get past that! (I did with the others!)
