A recent rumor states that because Quidditch has been axed from the fifth film might end up in showing no Weasely is our King scenes or the Harry and the Weasely twins banning to play Quidditch ever again given by Umbridge.

I was devastated by the news and only hope this really turns out to be a rumour. They just shouldn't compress Ron's charecter like this and i think the whole of the part is really important to be in the film and one of the things i was most looking forward to!!

i Think they should even mention it even if it had to be done in conversation. The following should definately be mentioned somehow or even shown in the film:

1. Weasley is Our King.
2. Harry and the Weasley Twin's banning
3. Give her hell from us Peeves

I know that Peeves is never mention in HP films but i can dream cant i.

Please tell me your thoughts on this

Listen This, Rupert confirmed..."NO QUIDDITCH IN OOTP"

Unfortunately, Rupert Grint (Ron) has confirmed to MuggleNet that there will not be any broom time in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. On a brighter note, the actor let slip that subplots (e.g. Weasley is our King) "may be" incorporated into
the film. Thanks, MuggleNet!


I can't believe it....there will be no quidditch and there is gonna be included the storyline of "Weasley is our king"....so, the whole film is going to be a chaos! no quidditch but at the same time subplots about it....they are awful!!!!!Now, I am really angry....

That news is really killing me! I know it's aweful, they just can't do this! At least they should still state these things through conversation like you said included in the story line... but im just so devastated.

I dont think they'll even bother to add the peeves scene in the subplot, after all they there is no Peeves in the plot or anything. But i hope people will be seen mention the twins miraculous escape any way

there is the escape scene. that is confirmed. but i dont really think quidditch is one of the importeant subplots in this. they just better not have ron follow harry and hermionie to grawp. know that would messs it up. maybe they could say he was studying...

I don't see a problem. Just because there is no Quidditch played in the film, that doesn't mean that Quidditch will never be mentioned. How can they shoot a Harry Potter film and not mention Quidditch? The sport means much to Harry, his absences from the game are a crucial part of OotP's story. So I think Quidditch will definitely be mentioned.
There won't have to be flying brooms and the game itself in the picture. You could just show Ron and Harry walking back to the school after practice, Ron's elation at having won his position after the trials, his dejection after having done so badly in the game, the Slytherins singing that song, the Gryffindors changing it ... it's all part of the story and it's not difficult to fit into the script without ever showing the Quidditch pitch and broomstick flying.

I realy hope that weasley Is Our King will be in the movie. I say this because it will be interesting to see Malfoy finally get what he deserves. In other words Harry and Weasley punching him out! Although that part may get cut out and Harry and Draco might just have a magic fight.

I haven't heard much other then that there will be no Quidditch in the 5th movie...But i really do hope that they do include the "Weasley is our King!" into the movie some how. I'm kinda bummed...Quidditch was one of my favorite parts in the previous movies...I just hope that the "Weasley is our King!" will be put in in a good way...if you know what i mean!


-rjtwerp

Oh God!!!! They can't take that away!!! That is so important. I'm really upset right now...

It's true. Unfortunitley.



But then I have a question? How will Fred and George fit into the movie? I mean, the whole reason why they leave Hogwarts is because of Umbridge and her making them not play Quiddich! Right? Any thoughts on this matter??



-Kristina

I think they will cut the quidditch maybe but if they do i don`t think that Hagrid`s brother will be included in the flim i have typed in google search Hagrids brother and usualy it shows a sketch of what he will look like there is none so i don`t think he is that important so i think they will cut it.

I am with you, Kristina. I htink that it might be difficult to include most of the Twin's role without having qudditch involved. Not to mention that the fight scene after the quddicth match would be priceless. It also may be hard, with out that scene to portray why Harry has a lifetime ban from quidditch. They need to include it somehow, to make sure that everyone who has not read the book hates the evil ubridge lady properly. It just wouldn't be right for Harry not to play, in otherwords, for it not to be addressed at all.

I can't believe it was cut. Weasley is Our King is, like, the best part of the book. Oh dear. A thought just occured to me. If they axe the Quidditch, they might cut the kiss on the cheek from Hermione to Ron before the match. I would scream bloody murder.

But, I guess, in order to include more important things, sacrifices must be made. But what I don't get is that they say they can't fit it all in a two and a half hour movie, and yet, Lord of the Rings was three hours long. I don't see why they are so scared of making a movie like that, too. Everyone would see it anyway, right guys?

I have to agree here, that this is a huge miscalculation on the part of WB. To really have Harry miserable... Which he is in this book, you have to ban him from Quiddich for life. He loves this game, he loves to fly, it is the only time he truly feels free. He can use a quill that cuts into his own skin the rest of his life, but don't take away his game!

I still think the third movie will be the all time worst, but the fifth, which is my favorite book, because Harry overcomes it all, might be second to worse (huge presumption here but since they have yet to sac 'ol Grumpydore, I have my doubts on this next film). Plus to really despise Umbrage you have to understand that she did not just want Harry Potter dead, she wanted to cut out his heart and break his spirit. She is evil.

The swamp, I pray is still in the movie, as is their escape! Simply because, "It was a good bit of magic!" Plus I believe that the people who make these movies think CG before they think plot... They want the look of magic (again failed this on the third movie, only impressive thing was the dementors, Buckbeak was pretty cool, but I have to admit, the take off scene with the music they picked was the only genius thing in the movie.)

It's not like they have ever listened to the fans before, I wish for once, the actors fight for this story. These kids, in every interview I have seen, said they love the series and has read them all. I would think they have an invested interest in getting it done right. Who else but them (besides JK) would be able to tell who ever is deciding these stupid things to stop and do it right instead of on a timeline with things to cut...

I guess really this all boils down to is how books are better than producers/directors/screenwriters all in one!!!

cnickelson, I agree. They should at least mention Quiddich in the movie. At least it would be mentioned, not completely cut out. But the thing is the movie HAS to have the part about Umbridge banning Quiddich from Harry and the Twins. I mean, what other way to show how controlling she is than to ban the number one thing Hogwarts students love most? Well, hopefully they will show that fact in a different way, if anything. It's just kind of depressing that its a known fact that Quiddich won't be there. Ahh well. They better have it in the 6th movie. Harry's the Captian, the NEED to have that.



But still, what WB did was a big mistake. The escape of Fred and George Weasley can not become fully sucessful without the banning of Quiddich. oh my gosh. a though just hit me. And I know this is a terible tought, but... what if Fred and George's escape isn't in the movie. I mean I would like have to brake something is it wasn't but still. There cutting out Quiddich, and thats a big part of the movie...what about that?



Ok. I think we need a more lively question to keep us talking. this is too depressing for me. How about if "Weasley is our King" was in the movie, how would it be shown?

Potter_Addict_713

I think they could actually get by with pins for Weasley is our king. I thought the same think with SPEW. If they were not going to give it a moment in the movie, have it somewhere, as they did house elves in GOF. I mean they could be extraordinarily brilliant about it. Put little props in the scenes that people feel should not be missed.

Like hidden Mickey's..

Every time I watch GOF there is a moment of silence between Harry and Cedric after Cedric tells Harry to take a bath, every time I get to that scene I say out loud password is Pine Fresh.... Geesh such a small thing.

If they were careful, I believe they could add some (minor or major) plot issues, that most people find annoyingly left out. Just with little things...

Thats true RAB, pins would be a good why to show it. Just like in GoF with the "Potter Stinks" badges. I guess they could do it that way.



And adding to what talli_tastik said a couple posts back, Grawp probably won't be in the movie. He wasn't that important.

I think it's just sad that they can't fit in everything. But the movie will probably be better with certian things left out. It hurts to say that...but its true...

Oh my! don't tell me this is true! they better have it in there I know I cant do a
thing about it but if they don't have the quidditch cant they just still go along with the joke
as the trio walks along the corridors of Hogwarts? Please tell me they'll have it .

I am quite positive there will be "Weasley is our King," but with out Quiddich, unfortunetley. I wish there was Quiddich, but you can't have everything, the movie would be too long.

It was already said no Weasly is our king story line in it . meaning not at all. and grawp is confirmed by the way so yay for grawp. i wonder what he will look like?

i hope that the quidditch scenes are in this film it would be a big let down if they were'nt I really want to hear them singing weasley is our king

hoju_88

No offense or anyting, I am not trying to sound mean, but is was said a long time ago that there will be no Quiddich in the OOTP movie. *sob* I really wish that that wasn't the case, but it's true.

That is stupid to take it out cause if they do take it out then Harry and the twins won't get a life time band then if they don't get the life time band then they don't get to do the cool thing when they say" accio brooms"and if they don't do that then they mess up the rest of the movie if they do then they will hear from ME (me under cover,mom:Angellina,me:mom I'm under cover,mom:well take the covers off and come eat,me:food I'll just send a letter

Before that news i'd want see the scene on the film, but now with that news i culdn't see that part.

I think that quidditch is important in all the books that quidditch appear (is the most important sport into wizard life), so i don't know why the quiddicht is not going to be on the 5 film. It was the first time that Ron played quidditch and "Weasly is our kind" is important.

Well, now i want know if Sirius's death will appear, because the producers are a little idiot , is not going to be a sorprise to me if Sirius's death won't appear on the film. I think will be the scene on the 5 film but i said that because Sirius's death is important but in my opinion Quidditch is important as Sirius's death.

harry hermione and hagrid are going to see grawp, it was confirmd on another forum, so if there isn't going to be any quiditch, then..... well i dont understand....

This is the dumbest thing ever. I think that in the fifth book, when they are singing "weasly is our king" that it makes ron so sad, and how are they going to put that in the 6th movie. Plus when Umbridge kicks Harry, Fred and George out of quititch, they say that quititch was the only thing keeping them at Hogwarts. So how are they going to explain why Fred and George left, are they just going to say that they decided to leave, cause that will be ****. Honestly I think they should have and should for the next 3 movies just go all out for them and make it a 4-5 hour movie, because real Harry Potter fans will watch it, and it would be 5 times as good as they are now.

NO WEASLY IS OUR KING! THEY CAN'T DO THAT TO ME!

That is what was going to help drive me to go see the movie! Me and my cousin (who read the books over and over and over... and over) both ahve different views on how the song is sang, and we NEED to know how it will sound when actually sang! He thinks it would be slow and sullen, but I say that it would be upbeat, but back on topic... no weasly is our king means just more the reason to hate the creators of the movies for chopping up the movies so much... the jerks.

I've read order of the Phoenix about 2 times. I can tell you guys that I enjoyed the part in the book where the Gryfindors chanted. "Weasley is our King". It would be such a shame if they decided to cut that part fromt he movie.

[font=Times New Roman]well im new and when i read the report about the no weasley and broom sceen i was like no way. it cant be true, it just cant. if they dont have that sceen then they will not be able to show half the things in the book, like when the weasley brothers summon their brooms and fly away that is a big thing and if there is not broom sceen then there will not be the weasley sceen. its just not true, and maybe ron let it slip that there will not be the sceen but maybe he is just saying that and when we go to see the movie it will be there like a surprise. so no worries.

[font=Arial Black] i got the news paper first news for kids and in it they said that they cut it because if they put it in the film it would be over eight hours long.

but if they cut all of it they will have to find another way to introduce grawp unless they're going to cut him out as well which would mean that they would have to cut loads out.

I personally wouldn't mind sitting down for ages to watch it. cos they can show it like a play (with breaks inbetween parts of it.)

I have a problem with the movie producers, directors and screenwriters. I feel that the first 10 minutes of Goblet of Fire is extremely rushed, and I think that OOTP is in great danger of the same outcome, and that will take away from the greatness of the movie. The movie should try to take it's time and stay as close to the book as possible. I would rather watch a good 3 1/2 hour movie and be satisfied at the end instead of rushing through the movie and leaving viewers with a sense of emptiness because the movie is missing vital points that made the book enjoyable. Just my opinion.

i think they will put weasley is our king in the ootp movie but do it for fred and george when they leave and change it from the slytherins singing it to the da and everyone who hates umbridge.
i think there will be the big comotion in the entrance hall with the portable swamp on the fith swamp

I agree! I mean, theyre probably going to stick some rubbish in about malfoy just randomly on the spot saying something to insult harry and him getting banned from quidditch...

And they'd better have kreacher in it cus i heard a rumour he wanst gonna be! I mean what are they gonna have instead? and evil pin cushion from the house of black?!

And 3 and a 1/2 hour films must have really good contents cus i watched king kong and by the 2nd hour i was booooored...

But i never get bored watching hp!!!

They had better put weasly is our king in.......

lol kfc

Hm...if theres no quidditch, does that mean that theres not going to be any ron/lavender kissing ? wait.....NO QUIDDITCH ?!??!?! klfjhzljgh that sucks, wow, yeah.....rupert grint must be disappointed becuase in a GOF interveiw he said that he was most looking foreward to playing quidditch

NO QUIDDITCH?!?!

Unthinkable...

Nah it runs in the story line so they've got to have it... right?!

They have to Quidditch! Quidditch is one of the reasons i love HP so much!But then you got to see it from their point of view-Quidditch scenes must cost a lot to make, and maybe, since it's much a big book, there's too many scenes that they don't have the money to actualy make it. So maybe they will just have them in their Quidditch robes, celebratring (Or not) In the common room after, or have them walking back from practise. But what about Grawp? Ron was playing Quidditch at the time! They better not included him in the Grawp scenes, because that will ruin it! Plus, the whole fact that Harry can't play Quidditch, is why he's willing to risk getting expelled (The D.A.) because he wants to be doing something against Umbridge.
Long live "Weasley is our King!"

THey have to bame harry and the twins because it make the story so awsome. adn give her hell for us is liek my favorite line ever. THoses are the things that make OOTP my favorite book

I was lloking forward to Quiditch alot!! i can't believe it!! ugh!!

Quidditch is boring to me. Always has been. Even Jo got tired of trying to make it interesting. She said she wrote her last Quidditch game in HBP, and had to have Luna commentate because there was no way to keep making it different and interesting each time. The film makers probably thought, "If it isn't going to matter later, why add it now?"

I'm really glad. I can't see why they can't go around it. It's not that important, guys. There's a lot of actual plot to get through. If anything had to go I'm glad it was Quidditch.

They probably will put Weasley is our King in there because I know that was a lot of peoples favorite part. If they don't put it in there I will probably become severly depressed and have to seek serious grief counseling.

wow, that soooooo like really sucks man.....grrrrrrrr

I am very disappointed to hear this bit of info but there will be other things to look forward to. That's how I look at it. I think that they would have to have Fred and George leaving to open their shop. That's pretty big. I guess we will have to wait and see. Also hope for the best!

this is kind of sad that they havnt put weasley is our king in OotP....i really wanted to see well ron playing quidditch...harry and one of the weasley twin punching malfoy and ..does this mean no kiss on the cheek from hermione to ron...*sobs*
they cant do this.....*sighs*

D.A

If there's not a single "weasley is our king" in the movie, I will be mad!

I can't believe that they aren't allowing "Weasley is Our King." In the movie. That was one of my favorite parts. That and when Peeves gives Umbridge Hell!! It seems that the movies are leaving more and more things out. Even alot of important things. For Example in the fourth movie when Fred and Gorge sell candy that they made and when Harry gives them the money for it. I hope I'm not dissapointed when I see the fifth movie.

They are leaving out "Weasley is our king"??? Ugh not cool That is what egged the twins and harry on to beat up Malfoy. They are cutting out more and more interesting things from movies. not cool.

actually, contadicting my earlier post, i don't really mind that there's no ''weasley is our king''. I know it may sound crazy, but having seen the trailer, i think it looks great anyway, and i'm thankful that there IS actually another film .

Well i don't think there will if theres no Quidditch scenes in it.
But i don't think it will be to bad if they cut it out.
Because the trailer looks good so the film should be great.

nooooooo!
that was like the humor that made up for sirius' death in the book.
i was looking foward to that, i also agree that peeves should be mentioned in every single film, i have always believed hat there is more to peeves than meets the eye ,what if its important in the final book!? how are Wb going to handle that!
i did not know there was no Quidditch in the film, i was really looking foward to seeing Rupert in a broom for once, oh i guess i will be kind of disappointed when i come out of the movie theaters.
Another thing i hated was that they left Dobby out of the rest of the movies, i mean it has not been confirmed that they left him out of 6 and 7 but if they did not have him in 4 and 5 then why waste film in him if they can get around it right?
I just hope it does not affect the plot.
If you ask me if Crhis columbus or Alfonso Cuaron were brought back they would have a
heck of a film!

I definitely agree with you Houseelf3. I would like to see more of Dobby. Also, not to downplay the work of Dir. David Yates, I can't help but wonder whether this 5th installment will have been a smash-up job with the likes of Cuaron or Columbus on the job. I know this is very premature considering the film hasn't yet been seen by any, but we all do have the right to fantasize about what could be from what has been, right?

well, even though they don't have the whole "weasley is our king" int he movie, they will definetly still have Grawp, because i was looking at some of the OotP pics and it showed Grawp there..the guy they chose matches him btw....
