[HPFGU-Movie] JKR wrote a scene for HBP, the movie?

[Valerie Flowe]

I'm a little confused because in the screen shots we've seen thus far 
there is Hagrid's hut on fire with Snape and some Death Eaters looking 
on; there is a pic of Bellatrix, Fenrir and I think, the Carrows,  
casting the dark mark from the Hogwarts Astronomy(?) tower; a 
voice-over of Harry yelling "Fight Back You Coward!" presumably to 
Snape during that Hogwarts battle scene. Then I've heard rumors that 
they did not shoot the Dumbledore/Harry/Draco/Snape scene on top of the 
Astronomy tower, which they absolutely HAVE to because that IS the 
dramatic conclusion of the book! I also heard they did not shoot the 
funeral where Dumbledore's coffin goes up in flames, and that B_ _ _ _ 
Umbridge has the audacity to show her face. We were also introduced to 
the new minister at that time, who I think they will delete from the 
storyline altogether and just keep it as Fudge, for simplicity-sake.
So are they or are they not having that scene in the movie?

Valerie, who is resigned to going to see Twilight this weekend, even 
though it's a poor substitute, IMO, for HBP!!
