[HPFGU-Movie] Re: Another casting for HBP

[Missy Gallant]

I have a horrible feeling that there will be an attack
on the burrow in THIS film so that there won't be one
in the NEXT film.  Think about it, in order to have
the attack be at the wedding, there needs to be a
wedding.  Can't have a wedding because that would mean
introducing the entire Weasley family into the films
(Heaven forbid THAT should happen- sarcasm here). 
I've pretty much given up meeting the Weasley or ever
even hearing about the friction between Percy and the
rest.  We had all wondered about it.  And some decided
that the attack would probably just happen at Harry's
party instead.  Now I'm wondering if they won't just
skip over all of it.  Maybe a three second scene at
the Weasley's where Scrimgeour says, here's what DD
left you kids- Bye- they look at each other, say, it's
time and flee to Number 12.
