jen D. here,
Let's just suppose that as expensive as these films are to make, if 
Grawp is in OOTP, he must have some role to play down the line that 
would be very difficult to explain if he just "popped" at the proper 
time in the plot.

In fact, it's safe to say you won't see anything (except maybe an 
obligatory action sequence to jazz everyone) that isn't necessary in 
some odd, turned arounded, but logical (in movie logic, that is) 
terms.

Mike Newell was very skillful in using and deleting things from the 
book. He did put in some of his own stuff, the ball was creatively 
embellished, but he also knew how to get info across while 
eliminating what we previously thought were important characters 
such as Dobby. I am trying my best (while juggling too many other 
duties) to find the post our departed friend Richard did, detailing 
what he thought OOTP would look like. Yahoomort is a difficult 
search engine but I will get a reference to it up on this board. I 
think it answered a lot of the questions all of you guys, (newbies 
and oldsters) have been posing. He demonstrated how you could put 
together a credible story, cover all the bases and get done in less 
than 3 hours...
