> They might cut all the house cleaning out.  I noticed they cut 
Dobby and Winky out of GoF.  Suppose they'll have Kreacher in there?

I agree, I don't think they need the house cleaning in there either.  
If they did put it in, they may just show Molly crying over the bogget
(sp?) turning into the Weaselys and Harry being dead, just to set up 
the intensity of Arthur getting hurt.  As for Kreacher, I think they 
might keep him.  Not in as many scenes as in the book, but to get the 
point across about 12 GP.

>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.

I wonder how they are going to account for Grawp if they don't 
discuss Hagrid's journey?  I didn't really want to see Grawp but I 
guess they have to have some reason for Hermoine and Harry missing 
Ron's big game.  Plus I think he saved them from the centuners, but 
they could cut all that off and have Umbridge just carried off at 
random as far as I'm concern because I hated her just the same as you!
lol  She's worse then Bellatrix to me!LOL  
It disturbed me that Harry was even smiling at the end of Goblet in 
the film.  Order, in my opinion, is a very angry book.  If he's not 
angry, the things that are happening to him can make you angry. He 
has to be pissed and distraught and full of angst in this film, and I 
hope they represent that well in the film.  Dan, I think, will do 
really well.  Just the screenwriter and the editors I'm worried about.
I'm so thrill that Lupin will return.  He's awesome and is the only 
way I can get my fiancée to watch an HP movie with me, Prisoner of 
course, over and over again
which I love.  The hype for them finding 
the perfect Luna was kind of like the hype for finding the perfect 
Cho.  But she's a cool character, and does have a pretty important 
role in Order having Harry's interview in her father's magazine.  

Jen D.:
>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.

That's the thing about Grawp that I was confused on.  What is his 
present in Order going too forshadow?  In HBP he only really shows up 
to the funeral.  And it's not like JKR has told them, "make sure to 
put a lot of Grawp in Order because in the 7th book he will stomp LV 
to death" or something crazy like that!LOL  But as for CG characters 
for the special effects people to play with, they would probably swap 
Grawp for Kreacher.  Which, personally, I'd rather see Kreacher 
because it's all Sirius related and I want all the Sirius I can get 
in the films, since this will be his last.

>OOTP is my least favorite of the books so far and I have been 
dreading (is that possible...) this film, of all the films.

That's how I feel about HBP.  That's the one I'm not looking forward 
to.  It's a big flash back like in a sitcom, but we haven't seen the 
scenes before.  That could be a short film for me.  It's important 
but not a whole movie worth to me.
Rae:
Thanks for posting Richard's breakdown of the film.  I will save it 
too.

Akh:
>Given that they left him on his own, more or less, for the graveyard 
scene in GOF, this says to me that they're expecting believable signs 
of post-traumatic stress disorder (which I think is largely what JKR 
is depicting in his behavior) in his performance.

Do you really think its like PTSD from the graveyard incident?  When 
I look back I kind see a variety of issues, not just a like a single 
incident.  He was angry because he was still at the Dursley's, he was 
angry that there was a dementor attack near his "home", he was angry 
because Hermoine and Ron weren't writing him the info he wanted to 
know, nor was Sirius really.  Then of course, Dumbledore not looking 
at him and not telling him anything, the whole trial thing, and no 
one believing him.  For me, Cedric's death made him sad, LV's return 
was frightening, but what made him angry was all the other stuff.  So 
it doesn't seem like one incident that set him off, it seems like 
multiple issues.
