Not a hundred percent sure, but I think the young actor playing 
Goyle had to take time off for his GCSEs. These are public 
examinations in England and Wales that you take at 15 or 16 - OWLs 
are loosely based on them.

The time of exam is set by the examination board and may not be 
varied - though there is some leniency about location if there is 
genuine illness.

They're important, because entry to higher education and many jobs 
depends on you achieving certain grades, so it wouldn't surprise me 
if his sitting the exams was considered more important than his 
being available to film.
