In the Cast interview on the GOF DVD, Rupert mentions that he is 
looking forward to his Quidditch scenes. 'Course he may not have known 
at the time exactly what he would be filming.
They also mentioned something about meeting Ron's 2 older brothers for 
the first time. I don't even remember them in OOP?
I bet they will ditch Kreacher, since they ditched  Dobby and Winky. It 
did somewhat bug me in GOF that they changed the story so that Neville 
gives Harry the gillyweed instead of Dobby. Wonder how they would 
change the plot as to how Sirius comes to arrive at the Ministry?
Also in the DVD they said they will be filming the DA scenes. I can't 
wait to see what Imelda Staunton does with Umbridge!!! What an evil 
woman. I hated her as much as Voldemort!
I guess she does get carried off by the centaurs because they said they 
already filmed that part. Grawp wasn't a favorite of mine either. Kind 
of irrelevant. I'll bet they don't film or even talk about when Hagrid 
and Mme. Maxime go visit the giants. They didn't bring that up at the 
end of the movie, as they did in the book. As previously mentioned the 
director opted for a happy, uplifting ending to the GOF movie, as 
opposed to the foreshadowing of the Order of the Phoenix.
I'm looking forward to seeing Lupin again. David Thewlis is booked, 
yes? And Tonks will be a fun character, as well as Luna. I thought they 
might leave Luna out altogether as she really is not an integral part 
of the plot. They could have left her out of the whole ministry thing. 
But she is a very colorful character and I'm glad she's in the movie.
