What is getting cut in GOF (Was: Question from Newbie: Molly, Bill and Charlie/G

[Theresa]

Since seeing the previews of OotP on the Internet, I feel confident 
that there is a World Cup scene. I recall some mass hysteria with 
some big tents and Harry trying to decide which way to run. Plus I 
read the interview with the young man playing Krum. I think that will 
be an exciting scene to watch.

I am disappointed in no Molly, Bill or Charlie. I looked forward to 
seeing the hug scene - oh well, I hope she is back for the OotP film 
as I really want to see them all at Grimmauld place and St Mungos.

I will probably get lynched here but...as for cutting out Bertha and 
Frank Bryce...if they have I personally don't think I will miss them. 
I mean, I enjoyed those scenes in the book but if they chose not to 
show the dream scene and then don't have those two come out of the 
wand in the graveyard scene. It won't upset me. However, if they 
don't have the wand regurgitating the people killed (i.e. Cedric, 
Lily and James) then that will be disappointing. Frank and Bertha are 
not really vital to the plot (other than mentioning her in passing as 
the way they got Crouch Jr into Hogwarts - it can all be left out - 
IMHO). But I really think we need to see the wands connecting - it 
adds to the understanding of Voldermort and Harry's connection. At 
least opinion it does.

One other thing I think I have noticed that appears a bit different 
in reading the interviews and seeing clips of the film...the 
Hermione/Krum thing. I know in the book, he is attracted to her and 
though she goes to the ball with him, I never got the impression that 
from her point of view it was a mutual attraction. I thought she was 
flattered but did not fancy him. In one interview Emma said Hermione 
was swept off her feet. Then in the scene where she is talking to 
Harry and Ron, Ron says something like Krum is only with her to get 
to Harry and she looks upset as if she actually likes Krum. That will 
be interesting to see if indeed she has a thing for Krum - it is a 
little thing but still another change from the book.

PS: So since this thread started as a we will miss seeing Molly, Bill 
and Charlie does that mean no one will be missing Percy? ;o)
