[HPFGU-Movie] Re: The Dursleys and HBP movie

[Jade B]

  Steph:

Everyone who is going to be in HBP has already been cast/contacted, 
so it's probably true that there are no Dursleys in HBP. Clemence 
Poesy also said that she hasn't been contacted, either, so we now 
know Bill and Fleur won't be in it. They've already been filming 
for six months so if they haven't already been cast/contacted they 
likely won't be. Actually, as much as I like the Dursleys, and 
would have liked to have seen that scene, I can see that they'd 
ditch it as it doesn't really add to the story aside from being 
funny. They could just show Harry and DD leaving the house to go to 
Slughorn's. 

As for the Spielberg rumor, Where did you hear that he's still in 
the running? I hope he isn't as I think he'd make a total hash of 
it. Daniel is probably a pretty reliable source on that matter so 
I'm going to hope that he's right. 


That's a bummer considering there has been boasts about HBP being the funniest film of the series. Oh well. I found the quote integrated with the comment Griffith had made about not being in the HBP on Mugglenet.com...
   
  The latter item picks up an extra piece of evidence today, after Richard Griffiths (Vernon Dursley in the Potter films) reportedly told TeleText that Spielberg is a candidate:

The veteran actor told Teletext: "Being in a Spielberg film is a pretty good place to be. My agent had conversations with him, so anything is possible.

"I'm not in the sixth film so I want bigger roles. I asked JK Rowling if she could write Vernon a bigger part and she said 'no', so there you go."

  This particular post was dated Feb. 3 while Dan's quote was dated Feb. 11. So the rumor is probably squashed at this point but this was what I meant by waiting and seeing which quote is actually true since it seems that different cast members are contradicting comments about the films with each other.
