Why? Hermione recognizing the sign has nothing to do with Xenophilius 
being in the movie. It can go like this: Xeno wears the symbol - 
Hermione recognizes it, but doesn't confront him - later she finds 
the sign in Beedle the Bard book and wonders why DD would will her a 
book with GG's sign - she decides to ask Xeno etc. It can totally 
work, IMO. And much easier than bringing back Krum actor :-).

Can't they *show* it? It would be so much cooler and the reading 
behind the screen won't seem dull. Kind of like in the beginning of 
the LOTR movie, when they show the story of the ring in short scenes, 
with Cate Blanchette(sp?) reading behind the screen?

Hard to say. But if so, there would be no need for Rita's book and 
they'll cut it. As a matter of fact, they can cut the book even if 
they keep DD's backstory - Harry can find out about DD/GG from 
another source.

I'm with you on this one :-). BTW, wasn't it something on the 
Internet about some actor (don't remember who), who said he was being 
considered for the part? Just a rumor, probably, - it's too early for 
DH casting.


Take care, Carol!
