Another casting for HBP

> But I'm still convinced that Charlie, Bill and Fleur won't be in the
movie :-). Same with Dobby - it's just too late to bring him back, and
I suspect that the movie-makers will replace him with Kreacher.

jade responded:
>   You're most likely right about that. It just bothers me so much to
see an introduction of characters that you know will die in the series
(Dobby) and never show it in the film. 

Carol responds:
Maybe they'll combine Dobby's and kreacher's characters in a way that
allows Kreacher/Dobby not only to save HRH and friends from the
Malfoys' underground room but to lead the House-Elves into battle
wearing the fake locket and shouting his rallying cry about Master
Regulus. (Please, please don't make it "Master Harry, champion of
House-elves"!)

As for a scene with Dobby dying, i think they'd have to rethink the
animation of the character and give him some more dignity. Dobby as he
appears in the CoS film is, well, annoying. I can't imagine shedding
tear for him any more than I'd cry for the death of Jar Jar Binks. But
Dobby as written is another matter. I surprised myself by getting
misty-eyed over him, and especially over Luna's tribute and Harry's
choice to dig the grave by hand.

They have to choose what to keep and what to cut, and the impact on
the audience may be one of the reasons for their choices. (Look at the
stupid extended dragon scene in GoF. They didn't even have nesting
mothers that remained on the ground with their eggs! Nope, they wanted
to make Harry literally a dragon slayer, even if his weapon happened
to be a bridge or an aqueduct or whatever that piec of masonry was.)

Carol, who wouldn't mind cut scenes (other than crucial scenes
necessary for coherence) as much if they weren't replaced by
uncanonical nonsense like that chain-breaking male dragon
