I don't have much time to post to this list at the moment (or even to read 
it properly; I currently have a backlog of about 400 messages!) but someone 
posted the above statement on the Movie list which is of far more interest 
to me right now. I realise that this is verging on the off-topic for this 
list, but I shall be short.

I hate to sound accusing, but could you please give any kind of support for 
your statement about what JKR was "ADAMANT" about in that scene? I have 
seen absolutely no detailed comment from anyone involved in the movie 
production about what JKR told them they could or could not show in that 
scene, and this is the first time I've seen anyone claim any such thing.

In fact, the only thing I've ever seen anyone involved in the movie say was 
that JKR had written *a* new scene for the PS/SS movie, and verification 
that it was the Godric's Hollow one only came out a lot later. I've seen no 
further elucidation of any kind.
