I  noticed in the MN/TLC interview with JKR she talked about OotP being  
overly long but challenged anyone to say where it could be  cut.

Well, I would have to say I never understood why there was an  entire 
chapter devoted to Hagrid and Madam Maxime's journey to the  giants.  
IMO that was the most boring (actual only boring) chapter of  all HP 
books to date.

Maybe it will come into play in book seven  and that's why its there.

Thoughts?

If anyone can convince the Giants to switch sides it's Hagrid and  Maxime.  I 
see this happening in book 7, perhaps they'll even help Harry  find a Hocrux. 
 I see Harry visiting a lot of places and people in Book 7  and needing their 
help.  IMO we'll see the giants again.
