Hickengruendler:

Some of them are several years old. She probably decided to cut it or 
she changed it. She freely admitted, that she made some minor 
changes, for example cutting Dean Thomas' subplot or the Weasley 
cousin, so some of these are probably among those cases. Crookshanks 
did appear in the book, though. He was in the Burrow at the 
beginning. And the character doing magic late in life could be either 
Merope or Ariana, though neither fits 100%, sinc eboth seem rather to 
have surpressed their magic, instead of not having any.
