I would think they could cut Grawp altogether, but I seem to remember
hearing he'll be in the movie.  They could change it quite a bit though.  I
doubt we'll see Harry and Hermione go in to the forrest twice together.
They'll probably send Ron too.  Also, they don't need to have them covered
in blood to attract the thestrals.  They could find them easily enough.  I
can't picture them covered in blood for such a long part of the movie.  I
would be very surprised if we got to see Ron playing Quidditch, but I really
hope we get to see Harry punch Malfoy.  How could they pass that up?

I'm really looking forward to this movie.
