After watching the shuffle, toss'n'cut of the OOtP movie events I 
will not be surprised if Draco is not in the HBP movie at all. They 
don't even need him there, Snape will AK Dumbledore and that's all 
that is to it, isn't it. Reading fans know the story and will 
forgive, and non-readers won't notice anyway. :)

I am so disappointed about this one, as my favourite comedian was 
cast. Rik Mayall from "Drop Dead Fred" movie and from UK comic series 
such as "Bottom" (with Adrian Edmondson) and "The Young Ones". He'd 
be simply perfect as Peeves! I can see him stealing the show with "Oh 
Potter, you rotter" :))

Bottom moment (Rik is the one with long hair):

Young Ones moments (much younger Rik is dressed in black jacket, 
short hair): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EqhPuJ-Qyo
