I find it lacking that we would not have heirs for both Hufflepuff 
and Ravenclaw.
 
The reason this nags at me is that we hear the new S-hat song at the 
beginning of OOTP and it bespeaks the need for the four houses to re-
unite. I don't believe it is possible to re-emerge with a common 
goal (originally to educate wizards) solely on the basis of two 
representatives in the current era for this to be true.

If so, who would these representatives be? I think that Luna is a 
good start for Ravenclaw- she was brought in a much more well-formed 
character than other students we've met over the past couple years 
and has definitely played a role that is more than window dressing.

I'm struggling with a Hufflepuff, Justin and Ernie don't work and I 
feel like we need the m/f balance that we see in original four (2 
men, 2 women). So, out of the characters we've met that would leave 
Susan Bones and Hannah Abbott as some of the more well-realized ones.

Me:
Now, I know that the films and the books are different, but it is 
widely known that JK does work with the screenwriter for each new 
film. And although she has said that she doesn't give info to him 
readily, she has admitted that he, perhaps, knows more about the 
future of the series and characters than anyone else.

With that said, has anyone noticed that the girl that plays Susan 
Bones is ALL OVER the first two movies. She's never addressed much, 
but she's always there in the background. Possibly this might be 
because the actress is actually Chris Columbus' daughter. Although, 
she could have easily been cast as Susan Bones AFTER the screenplay )
including extra assignments) was finished.

JK has said some interesting stuff in the DVD interviews from the 
films. Notably, that book 6 has an important relevance with a 
seemingly insignigicant element in the film version of CoS. I 
wouldn't be surprised if JK has also encouraged certain *lesser* 
characters to appear more often than not in the background shots of 
the films.
