SSSusan again:
I think they WILL likely remove the TTT and fireplace scenes, since 
none of the Dursley actors are being "enlisted" for GoF, at least as 
reports go so far.  Bummer, I know, but w/ that number of pages to 
cover....

I wonder if they could begin at the Burrow the night before or 
morning of the QWC, then show them using the Portkey, and then 
my "condensed" QWC.  I still think they could be ready for Fleur in 
under 20 mins.  (Maybe I've got a lousy sense of time, though!)
