No Weasley is our King storyline in OOTP
Bad news for those who are looking forward to a good grudge match in the Order of the Phoenix film next summer! We've been informed that there is no storyline in the movie surrounding Ron's Quidditch hardships, nor has there been any filming on broomsticks done by Rupert. We're led to believe that this means there will be no Quidditch in the fifth film at all. We hope to learn more soon!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! How can they cut that out!!???!!!


Posted by polish Aug 27th 2006

maybe they're on drugs.


Posted by sirusstar Aug 27th 2006

That really does suck cause this would have been a big part for Rupert. More attention would have been given to him. Thats to bad, plus I like the Quiddtich parts.


Posted by ginnyluvr Aug 27th 2006

AW!!!SCREW U PEOPLE!im mad at u!


Posted by asia_canada Aug 27th 2006

well the weasley is our king part would probably take 2 long... but they could put in a bit... like how harry, fred n george get banned... how r fred n george suppose 2 escape on their brooms from umbridge if they were never banned in the first place?


Posted by HPgurl4eva Aug 27th 2006

What!??!?!? That's one of the main points! IT WAS ON THE COVER OF THE BOOK!!!!!!!!!


Posted by crazybookworm Aug 27th 2006

no way!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats not fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how can they get rid of quidditch!!!!!!!!!!! and in the 6th book harry is quidditch captain! this is why i hate the hp movies....they always cut the best stuff!!!!


Posted by Fluffy Aug 27th 2006

NOOOOOOO!!! It needs Quidditch! And I was really looking forward to "Weasley is our King" ... This is disappointing!!! Hopefully they'll leave other good parts in... *sigh*


Posted by crazybookworm Aug 27th 2006

how are they going to do a million things like harry getting banned and fred and george leaving and grawp!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by dumbledores_bredrin Aug 27th 2006

TriWizKid, lol i was thinking the same thing about the responce thing 2, but there was more comments when the Luna Lovegood actress was announced, there was about 800! remember that....


Posted by chaibabachai Aug 27th 2006

WHY??????! that was a fun scene! well I at least hope that there will be no quidditch at all, because this was the main event surrounding it so it would be pretty disappointing otherwise.


Posted by britishwannabe Aug 27th 2006

I'm gonna start crying....they always do stuff like that. You know, take out the good stuff from the books and replace it with some stupid scene that was never in the books.


Posted by silvageko Aug 27th 2006

why cant they make the later hp films longer as the books are?like lord of the rings were,3-4 hrs long would be good.but no all they are interested in is money!!not what the fans actualy think,its just how long some 6yr old kid and their parent will sit in the cinema for.it realy winds me up aaaaarrrgghhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by JKrowlingismyIDLE Aug 27th 2006

Thats fricken gay


Posted by Prongs15 Aug 27th 2006

That's insane!!!!!!!!!!! There has to be a Quidditch Match. Cause then the Gryffindors can't sing their version. this is no fair at all. NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There has to be Weasley is our King song. Otherwise it ruins the movie and disgraces the book.AAAAAAAAAAAAAAaHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by elphaba_defying_gravity Aug 27th 2006

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT??????? THAT IS (simply put) CRAZY!!!! THAT IS ONE OF THE MAIN HIGHLIGHTS IN THE BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG I AM SOOOOOO UPSET RIGHT NOW IT IS NOT EVEN FUNNY!!!! AND I HATE USING CAPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!!!!! ANGER. MADNESS. HATE TOWARDS WHOEVER DECIDED THIS. GRRRRRRR....


Posted by grednforge Aug 27th 2006

WHAT?????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????????!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by Prongs15 Aug 27th 2006

This is redikulus!!!!!!!!!!!!! WB, this is the worst you can do to HP. This is no fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are ruining everything. If you wouldn't add extra scenes in HP movies you would beable to do thing that people want to see. So start thinking about the fans and not yourselves, Wb.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!?!?!


Posted by interesting_times Aug 27th 2006

Eh, as long as they have Dumbledore practically pwning the Aurors and Death Eaters in the movie, I'm fine. That scene better keep me at the edge of my seat. That's my only request lol.


Posted by gryffingirl99 Aug 27th 2006

OMG! NO QUIDDITCH! SOMEBODY CALL THE AUTHORITIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by potter4president Aug 27th 2006

I am so sick of these film makers messing up the HP storyline!!!! it sucks to be looking forward to a scene that never comes! We need to get people out there who have accually READ the book!!! >:(


Posted by Invaderk Aug 27th 2006

That's it, I'm depressed. No, not really, but it is a little sad that we don't get to hear how 'Weasley is Our King' really is supposed to sound. I suppose I'll forgive them, seeing as OOTP was about 3 million pages long and everything. Heh. Although I do agree with the other people who said that Fred and George should get their escape flight. I mean, they're not just going to walk out of the school, are they? Oh well, looks like we still have some time to wait anyway, no use getting angry.


Posted by d0bbyr0cksmys0cks Aug 27th 2006

Awwwwwwwwwwww... I was looking forward to the Quidditch scenes =( This sucks. Warner Brothers somehow always tends to let down us Harry Potter fans. But like most of you people said, they don't care about pleasing the fans, as long as we pay the money to go watch it, its all good for them. But come on this is a big part in the book isn't it? Especially for Ron it is. I mean first he sucks at playing Quidditch and then he wins the cup for Gryffindor. They can't cut out another Quidditch House Cup win for Gryffindor? Can they? But they will, just like they did in the third one. I was so mad when they did that. So mad. Arghhhhhhhh!!!! But they better, they BETTER not cut out Fred and George's escape. I'll die if they leave that part out. Well no I won't, but I dont think I'll like the movie then. I'm really looking forward to that part, as most of the HP fandom are =]


Posted by padfoot_4_eva Aug 27th 2006

WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! if the movie people keep on doing this im just going go ahead and shot someone..i mean really. why not make the damn movie two parts or even better make it longer then the other 4, since the 4th one was pg-13 and theres a death in the 5th one i expect its going to be pg-13....so why not make it that way anyways? god these people are so stupied these days i swear...


Posted by Brooke1125 Aug 28th 2006

*to silvageko* about the money thing...if they don't interest the fans of hp then they aren't going to make money because the fans won't want to see it because it is messed up. i loved the weasley is our king part and i am VERY DISAPPOINTED!!! but they are putting it on themselves the way i see it....


Posted by luva4potter Aug 28th 2006

one word: NO! NO! NO! ok, so thats 3 but whatever! I really wanted to see & hear some support for Ron!


Posted by brainhacker Aug 28th 2006

NO! OH shhh! WHAT THE HELL is IN THE MOVIE? FIGHT/ BYE BYE DURSLEYS/ SORRY NO SIRIUS/ SCHOOL/ IM EVIL SNAPE/ OMG I CAN READ VOLDYS MIND/ WTF IM POSSESED/ WAIT NO IM NOT/ NO FRED GEORGE GINNY/ NO WEASLY WIZARD SNACK SHOP CUZ NONE IN 4/NO D.A. CUZ NO DOBBY/ SO 4 2 HOURS-HARRY/CHO *KISSKISSKISS* DONT BE SURPRISED!


Posted by arabesque Aug 28th 2006

WHHHAAATT! WHY THE FREAK NOT?


Posted by Nia Aug 28th 2006

Breath in *inhales* Breath out *exhales* Okay, I'm alright. That's only one thing I was hoping for that they took from me. I'm going to still hope and pray that the other stuff I'm looking foward to, that they are neither confirming nor denying are going to pleasantly surprise me by being in the movie. Such as BILL(helloooo), Fred and George's escape("Give her hell from us, Peeves!"-included), and Ginny's limelight when she snaps at Harry. Stiil giving WB the benefit of doubt.


Posted by potterfan92 Aug 28th 2006

OMG that sux! I can understand why they want to do that, but how can Harry get in detention without quiditch? THAT BLOWS i am just praying that this is a sick joke of WB and there really will be quidich scenes. I WANNA HEAR WEASLEY IS OUR KING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Honestly, with out the quidich scenes there is nothing about them winning the cup, and it will really suk! I hope WB is kidding............... :@:@:@:@:@


Posted by ako2 Aug 28th 2006

Why are they cutting everything about Ron .. and Ginny too. first they gave ron's lines to Hermione in POA and now no quiddith when Ron finally able to play? No Ginny playing and winning over Cho? GGRRR...


Posted by Chudleycannon Aug 28th 2006

Those idiots, time to get a new director. If I was Rowling I'd be furious she knows what her fans want and that's Weasly playing quidditch.


Posted by Sean Aug 28th 2006

That just makes me more intent on not seeing the movie. But then again there wasn't that much quidditch in the book either, after all, Harry did kind of get 'banned' from the team.


Posted by katiemay Aug 28th 2006

THATS RIDICULOUS! It was one of the main storylines! And what will happen with the kiss on the cheek between r/hr????????!!!!!!!! i could KILL someone right now...

Posted by cheekychap1 Aug 28th 2006

Ha! Bet Rupert Grint is upset. For all you lot who have watched the interview of Dan, Rupert &Emma on the 2nd Dvd of GOF, you would have known that Rupert was really looking forward to that storyline. I also, was looking forward to watching how they would do it on screen, and i'm pretty sure most other fans were too. I'm sure the director will come up with another idea that is better than "Weasley Is Our King" one....lets hope so.


Posted by Shado Aug 28th 2006

Oh no! What the heck are they thinking?


Posted by laughingeyes927 Aug 28th 2006

Is there a petition somewhere? Mugglenet should start one. Look how many comments people have made on this subject! Obviously tons of people care about this issue. I bet a huge amount of people would sign it. Sure, it probably wouldn't do anything, but it's worth a try. Even if it doesn't do anything, at least we tried. Who's with me? haha


Posted by ako2 Aug 28th 2006

Can we start a petition letter to WB? Maybe if they know that many fans do not like this "cutting" things it may awaken them a little. Do they read the books? It seems that they didn't know what is important ans what is not. They are giving emphasis on that chang kiss w/c is not so important and then cut the "weasley is our king" w/c is connected to the storyline of the book. Maybe its time that Potter fans should do something.


Posted by Hermione_Weasley4ever Aug 28th 2006

That's the worst thing I have ever heard! I loved that song!! And no quiddich? Then how can Harry be "expelled" from Quiddich, then? It's plot relevant!!!!


Posted by laurhapotter Aug 28th 2006

This is outrageous!!! NOOOO! this is a joke... it cannot be real... This means no hermione kiss on ron's cheek!!!! That's not fair!!!! How are they going to pUnish harry if there's no quidich!!!! WEASLEY IS OUR KING!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by broadwayybabe Aug 28th 2006

you've got to be kidding me. AGH


Posted by mugglehp Aug 28th 2006

*Princess Luna* omg!!!!!!!! that is sooooo not happening? noooooooooooooooo no no no no no!n come on let him fly solo!!!!!*grrrrr* love Natasha ;z


Posted by buckbeak7 Aug 28th 2006

That's totally unfair! Weasley is our king was one of the best parts in the book! Take out quidditch, and you take out half of the storyline!


Posted by r4v3ncl4w Aug 28th 2006

Hooray for Yates having the guts to cut out the bane of Harry Potter--quidditch. Now, I did like the development for Ron of having everyone rally behind him in the end, but ... quidditch just has to go. It's the least interesting element of the Potterverse. It has no deeper / more significant meaning--it's soccer with a change in rules. Yates does, though, now have the responsibility of making sure Ron gets the development he needs. As he was smart enough to cut quidditch, I trust he'll know how to take care of the consequences.


Posted by GeorgeusGirl Aug 28th 2006

Aww...this totally sucks! We shouls make a petition! Lol, seriously, someone should then we'll find a way to send it to Warner Brothers!
