else, and Yaxley's main contribution is to Imperius Pius Thicknesse so
that Scrimgeour can be killed and the DEs can take over the Ministry.
<snip> Thicknesse may not be important in himself, but he's linked to
the whole DE takeover plot, which is crucial to the film. <snip>

Fudge who's murdered, in which case, it will be Fudge who gives HRH
the items that DD bequeathed them. But I recently read an interview
with Robert Hardy, who says that his part as Fudge has been "erased"
from the film, so unless he was referring to HBP rather than DH, it
will have to be Scrimgeour. But since neither Scrimgeour nor Fudge
appears in HBP, Scrimgeour will need to be introduced in some way,<snip>

Pat responded:
> Just a reminder - in OOTP movie, remember how they use the Daily
Prophet so often in the movie?  One of the headlines late in the movie
is "Fudge Resigns" <snip> so technically, they have "covered" that
part of the plot.  So they set up the need for a new MoM, even if 
they don't use "The Other Minister" to tell us who IS the new minister
in HBP-movie.  They will need to have a new MoM, since they can't go
back and cut that out of OOTP! <snip>

Carol responds:

I remember the headline, but, like you, I can't recall it exactly. I
think they left it as a question mark, a possibility that Fudge might
be forced to resign. There was no mention of Scrimgeour, who will
still need to be introduced in some way. It would have been better,
IMO, to introduce him, if only as a moving photograph in the Daily
Prophet, in HBP. I suppose they'll do it in DH instead. If he shows up
out of nowhere to present the Snitch, the book, and the Deluminator,
viewers will just be confused.

Carol, who left the OoP headline out of her previous post to simplify it
