WHAAAT??? Subplots my foot! The bit with the Prime Minister is okay, but the story of Hepzibah and the Gaunts are extremely important to the story of the Horcruxes. They could have done them as flashbacks or something. I'm already disappointed with the film. :( Bleedin idiots

Wait...what? Am I dreaming? *walks away dazed*

i am shocked !!!! The Gaunts not there!!!! how are they going to explain the horcruxes???

I have a feeling this will be the most controversial of Potter films if the tone keeps moving in the direction I fear it's moving in. Have they made announcements about Scrimgeour yet? Katie Bell? Kreacher? Dobby?I KNOW you can't please everyone, especially with the books being as long as they are, but I'm a book purist, and it just breaks my heart to see this wonderful writing being diluted to slop for mass consumption. It all started with Cuaron, IMNSHO.

I echo everyone's sentiments about the Gaunts. It is so important to the plot. I have found that the film adaptations have started to really miss with the plot lately. For example: Cho being the traitor in OOTP. That made me so mad, and seemed so unnecessary. This cut also seems very unnecessary. Darn you, WB!

Hear, hear! Cho isn't THAT bad (but maybe I'm biased because I'm Asian and have a tiny crush on Katie Leung. :shifty:

...I object to this...

WB has realllllly failed this time. Will I see the movie? Yes. Will I like it? Prolly not.

This girl at work and I said that the British should've just done mini-series for each book so you'd have a 2 hr. episode each week and then nothing IMPORTANT would get cut out and it'd prolly take the same amount of time.

DH has very little that can be cut so I'm not looking forward to hearing about that.

Welcome to the club.

No Gaunts? Nope. Not gonna work. With David Yates, he always cuts out the interesting, informative and somewhat essential subplots.

FINALLY! Someone who agrees with me about Yates? He has ruined the HP movies for me. Levicorpus in the 5th movie? WTF is up with that?!?! And honestly, I was screaming during the movie because just about EVERYTHING was wrong.

Actually, I agree. I wasn't too fond of the Ministers' scene anyway. I always forget about it, actually.

Anyway, as much as I like Cho, I really do think that the Gaunts and even Hepzibah are more important than Cho. All she does is...what? Cry and date Michael Corner? Was Michael Corner even in the 5th movie? NO!

I'm really looking forward to Luna's commentary, though. They better not take that out. Er...wait. Was that in the 5th book?

I wasn't surprised for the m.p... but the gaunts?!

they always seen to cut out the stuff that is kinda important to the story tho:( i wanted to see that memory with the Gaunts!!!
