| | |  Fabricated interview with OotP scriptwriter
An interview with Michael Goldenberg, the Order of the Phoenix scriptwriter, has been doing the rounds on the internet. He was reported to have made various scathing remarks about the fifth Potter film. Comments about J.K.Rowling's involvement with the franchise were also made. However, it has been confirmed by WB that the quotes attributed to both writers were entirely fabricated; indeed, the interview isn't even on record.
The following is what Goldenberg was falsely accused of saying; Quote:
He and J.K. Rowling have never officially met beyond e-mailing each other during the first month he spent outlining the screenplay.
He will not be involved in any way with the last two films.
He feels that in terms of plot elements, characters, locations and dialogue, OOTP will be the most lenient in keeping true to the source material; he reasons that because the book was so dense, it was amazingly difficult to try and find the structure of a two-and-a-half hour movie without having to combine character roles and places in order to maintain a sense of narrative drive.
He personally nicknamed the third draft of the screenplay Harry Scissorhands" because he went through the 168 pages and excised any scene that did not directly involve Harry and/or Voldemort.
He candidly predicted that this would probably be the least favorite of the films because most of the fun, non-Harry material was left out.
J.K. Rowling was not happy with some of the omissions that were made that may "come back to haunt the next film adaptations."
He revealed that Rowling, in an e-mail, seriously suggested that after she finished Book 7 she should probably take reign as co-screenwriter and/or become a serious player in the screenwriting process.
He mentioned that in late 2004 he took the liberty to write a new scene between Harry and Snape that eerily predicted events in both Half-Blood Prince and, according to Rowling's notes, Book 7; so much so that he felt it be best to leave it out of the final shooting script.

Interesting...
I hope the fifth film will be good...I don't think they'll ruin it, though.

Booo for false comments, but yea i think the screen writers did completely destroy the fourth film and turned it into something that only remotely resembles the book it was supposed to be imitating.

I might be a little disappointed too, but I guess it's going to be alright. Jo was not happy. That's too bad. I hope he will improve in the future!

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.

That'd be okay for Rowling to be screenwriter...as long as she came cut some scenes off...to make for time and money...

Again I say,  fabrications in the press? Never ... gullible morons ... where's Lois Lane when you need her? She'd at least check her sources.
