POA question

[Stacey Nunes-Ranchy]

Hi everyone!

 

We were just watching POA (AGAIN!) and I was reminded of a question that I
had the first time I saw it.  In it, we see Goyle with an apparent arm
injury (especially visible in the "Intro to Buckbeak" scene but also another
time that doesn't come to mind at the moment).  He's also clearly absent
from the confrontation between Invisible!Harry and Draco and cronies
(although there is another lanky fellow with a girlish yell).

 

My question is if anyone remembers his absence/ injury referenced in canon
or if it was perhaps the actor's real injury or something else entirely
(i.e. director's way around the actor's pay squabble, scheduling or
something)?  My English books aren't handy and I refuse to crack open the
French POA until I've read up to that point (silly, ain't it?).

 

Thanks!

Stacey
