Gotta disagree with you again on that point. Without Fleur and Bill and the wedding, Aunti Muriel disappears, along with her fantastic insights into Dumbledore's family, and Kingsley's news of the fall of the Ministry, and Shell Cottage disappears, along with Dobby's burial, talk of how to get into Gringott's, the news of Teddy's birth, all that stuff. You may say that another character can fill the function and that these pieces of storyline could be moved to other areas, if they're left in at all, but I don't think so. And if you cut all that out, then you might as well chop the epilogue to shreds, if THAT'S left in at all too.

no fleur
then is there gonna be a wedding and are they going to cut out everything else out?
if they are, it's gonna be a really short movie to watch

It's not gonna be short ! It's gonna be boring! They will record two movies, how can it be short?

The wedding could be substituted with different character. I don't think Muriel is intrinsic and Dumbledore's family will probably be largely glossed over - it's way too complicated for cinema and it contains elements which are far from family friendly. Everything else could be linked into Lupin/Tonks, for example. Cinema audiences have a somewhat larger investment in them. I don't see how the epilogue can be done onscreen, unless they use prosthetics. To end the film series with anyone other than Dan, Rupert & Emma would be anticlimatic. Plus, it was shoddy writing anyway

But doesn't she play quite a role in DH? Both her and Bill? And then when some of the OtP members stay at their house?

And omg, the wedding!

Yeah but they're once again shorting the bibliophiles like myself by dumbing down the books for mass consumption. And if anything, the wedding's great for bringing Victor back!!!! They're shoving Cho down our throats again in this movie to resolve whatever's left between her and Harry, so they'd better bring Krum back!

Shoddy writing? Oh precious precious precious (You do realize I only put that in since you said it creeps you out) I have no problems with prosthetics, or CGI makeup or whatever, works good enough on turning a ridiculously gorgeous man like Ralph Fiennes into Voldythingy!

^ But Cho is pretty They seem to like romance so I reckon Krum might make it, to stir up R/Hr.

Well heck if they had problems killing off the pretty people Cedric would still be alive! And Tonks, and Lupin AND SIRIUS!

yeah, she is how i actually pictured Fleur when I read the books....however i'm sure that a suitable replacement could be found...

why??? it's soooo sad!!

yeess,i totaly agree with that ! they always cut out some of the scenes! i hope this is not true !

It will be interesting to see how they suddenly make Bill and Fleur have their wedding in the DH movie, when so far in the films there has been no sign of Bill Weasley (Well... except for a tiny picture on the Daily Prophet in PoA, the Egypt trip) and as there is no sign of Bill or Fleur being in HBP, they will have to do some good script writing to cover up a whole missed storyline.

But Fleur can be replaced. Fleur can be replaced just like Dumbledore was (RIP Richard Harris) it won't be the end of the world if another actress takes the role. And as many different people have already said, nowhere has it been said the character won't appear, just Clemence won't be taking on the role.

Lets all just get HBP over and done with before we all start having anurisms over the next one.

that's very sad to hear =[

I hope it's merely the actress that wont be appearing in the film and not the character.... that would completely throw off the plot and I'm so tired of seeing the Harry Potter books being gutted
