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

[Valerie Flowe]

Ah yes, of course, duh! Fudge resigns and Umbridge gets booted out 
(though she does keep her high profile job at the ministry apparently!)

Well, that's a bit disappointing that the funeral isn't in HBP, but I 
guess the respectful lighting of the wands could make quite a visual 
final impact.
Did anyone else think that the coffin going up in flames was 
foreshadowing that Dumbledore was a Phoenix animagus, and was going to 
'rise again' in DH? I did, but alas...
