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!

WHAT???? WHY??? U CANT DO THAT!!!!!!!!! CTGATE12 IS RITE ITS NOT HARRY POTTER WITHOUT QUIDDITCH!!!!!! I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING RUPERT UP THERE!!!!! UR ALWAYS CUTTING OUT MY FAV SCENES!!!!!


Posted by indiejane Aug 28th 2006

My problem isn't with them cutting out quidditich - which I personally feel sucks, but whatever - it's the fact that these movies just keep getting worse. Was ANY HP fan completely in love with movie four? I sure wasn't. From the horrible actor they have playing Dumbledore attacking Harry, to the ridiculous dragon scene, to them wearing muggle clothes all the freaking time.. it was HORRIBLE. They jsut keep straying farther and farther from the plot of these books. It isn't about cutting a scene here or 'trying to fit it all in ebcause it's a big book' it's about them losing sight about what the HP books really are to us fans. They're trying to make money off them, not make quality movies. They know they can put out any piece of dung and people like us will still go to see them. I myself though, am a huge fan of book five and I don't want to see this movie already... if it's anything like that piece of garbage Goblet of Fire movie. Books forever. And Weasley is our king is one of the best scenes. If they cut out the fred and george exit, there WILL be a riot lol.


Posted by crazybookworm Aug 28th 2006

i agree, indiejane. Im a diehard bookfan and i hate how they destroy the books in the movies. they just keep getting worse. everyone says they love gof, but how could they? they cut all the funny parts and always wear muggle clothes. i think there was only one scene where they wore robes, and even then, it didnt look very wizardly.


Posted by mischiefmanaged Aug 28th 2006

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I was looking forward to Quidditch and Ron playing it! This is despicable! Unfair! But than will they do the scene where Fred, George and Harry get a "life time ban" from Quidditch from Umbridge? I wanted to hear Weasly is Our King ...


Posted by CrAzY_4_HP Aug 28th 2006

No, that's insane! That's one of the funniest things in the book, they can't just cut it out like that! Damn!


Posted by mischiefmanaged Aug 28th 2006

And by the way I agree with indiejane, I seriously thought Chris Columbus was the best director for the movies. This is unfair. -sulks-


Posted by hutchie_the_squib Aug 28th 2006

"weasley was born in a bin he always lets the quaffle in thats why slytherins all sing weasley is our king" what is the need in that its a touch of humour to a film that without the new gryffindor keeper will probably be a bit of a letdown. then again there should be quidditch in film 6 as harry is captain


Posted by WickedWitch Aug 28th 2006

NO WAY! Well, it is a very big book so we must expect many things like this. But Weasley is our King was so good...


Posted by brittpinkie Aug 28th 2006

AAAH! I hope this is just a rumor...not having it in GOF was bad enough!!!!


Posted by mistyrain Aug 28th 2006

indiejane: I totally agree with you! I have been saying how awful the fourth movie was for some time now, and it's nice to actually hear from someone who feels the same! I really wonder how they will accomplish the scene in which Fred and George escape, and Harry being Quiddich captain next year when they have cut out Quiddich completely? It was like the Winky-Dobby-SPEW thing in the last movie: they managed to get around it, but at the sacrifice of too much, in my opinion. I greatly prefer the books as well, and would be delighted if eventually someone else (maybe a true HP fan) decided to make the movies again, better and truer to the books, no matter how long they are!


Posted by morfin Aug 28th 2006

that so stupid! i hate what they are doing with all of the movies. They are taking out important parts in the story! number 5 was my favorite book because of all the whole story, this movie is going to be a huge dissapointment. i know that they have to take out some stuff, but they shouldnt take out the really good things that add to the story.


Posted by antonin Aug 28th 2006

ack no! i was really looking forward to that part in the films! ESPECIALLY quidditch, it's one of my favorite parts!


Posted by dumbledores_bredrin Aug 28th 2006

they always mess up the books, the idiots. i think im becoming more of a book fan now..


Posted by IBM62 Aug 28th 2006

Oh well...Quidditch is boring IMO.


Posted by TheWordsUnspoken Aug 28th 2006

yes, Ctgate12, you are right. it is not harry potter at all without quidditch. i was looking forward to it so much because there wasnt any in GoF. this really sucks. haha, Nameless, same here.


Posted by natty Aug 28th 2006

I carnt belive there leaving this out, i love this part in the book , does this mean we wont see harry and ginny kiss, after all this only happened as a result of him not playing it, and i hope they dontmiss any more good bits.


Posted by PinkMuggle_25 Aug 28th 2006

This is just like when the house elf storyline was taken out of GOF. I wonder why they took it out, it means so much to the story as a whole, especially since Harry was made captain of the Quidditch Team... or will they keep that in Movie 5????


Posted by catied11 Aug 28th 2006

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME THEY HAVE TO PUT WEASLY IS OUR KING IN THE MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by astralwolf Aug 28th 2006

Eh, it's not exactly central to the plot. They have made worse cuts, like the whole flippin' back story in PoA. I have to laugh at how they managed to keep the pencive scene with James, large portions of which will not even make sense after the cuts in the third movie.


Posted by i_love_starburst Aug 28th 2006

They wouldn't even have to show any Quidditch, they could at least acknowledge that Ron is playing it, and so on. If there's no mention of him playing it at all then...I'm highly disappointed. :(


Posted by Fluffy_The_Kraken Aug 28th 2006

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that's ing INSANE!!! THAT'S NO FAIR!!!! WHOEVER CAME UP WITH THAT STUPID IDEA NEEDS TO BE CRUCIOED BY VOLDEMORT AND EATEN BY THE KRAKEN!!!!


Posted by emmafan18 Aug 28th 2006

THAT IS SSSOOOOOOOOOOOO CHEAP! THEY CCCCAAAAANNNNNTTTT DO THAT!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by Arrowing Aug 28th 2006

Jeez, i can understand some things. But Quidditch, no. That really stinks. I want that in so much. Its not Hp with out Quidditch.


Posted by Trinity7 Aug 28th 2006

Here is yet another example of why the movies are corporate, commercialized crap. The best Quidditch story in the series is completely axed, no doubt so that they'll have more time to devote to Harry and Cho's relationship, which will probably be expanded from how it was in the book. Maybe someday, decades from now when Harry Potter is retro and those of us who read it when it was new are much older, they will release GOOD movies that actually do the books justice. THe ones that are out now just suck.


Posted by jozzy6 Aug 28th 2006

That Sucks! Most of the storyline is based around quidditch in the 5 book! Harry, Fred and George can't play because of Umbridge. And Fred and George get their brooms back at the end from the book by summoning them out of her office! That means there will be NO Peeves again in this movie because of them. No Giving Umbridge hell this book And there will be no kiss between Ron and Hermione!!


Posted by iamhouseelf Aug 28th 2006

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what? are you kidding me? come on! first no dobby in the last movie, and now this. well............... i just, well............................................hmph! they're cutting out a whole bunch of favorite scenes are they even gonna do the DA? well i wouldn't be surprised i mean well............................


Posted by HpAlwaysN4ever Aug 28th 2006

Nooo :( Watch they cut out a lot of the small things that make the books what they are! I wouldn't mind having the movie be hours to include everything lol.


Posted by Awesome_Sauce Aug 28th 2006

Aw. That sucks. Well, it doesn't mean they've cut out Quidditch totally. I mean, there's a small, teensy weensy chance. But I won't be too happy if there isn't Quidditch. (I might just have to remake the films myself!)


Posted by bridgetmalfoy Aug 28th 2006

That is ABSURD!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was looking forward to those scenes, how can you NOT show it!?!?!?!?! RAWR!!!(stomps around in a circle). C-R-A-Z-Y N-U-T-S R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S U-N-F-A-T-H-O-L-M-A-B-L-E Grrrrr! Who cares if it makes the movie longer. Longer the better, I SAY. No one is going to listen to all of us though, *sniffle* they don't care what we *sniff,sniff* think. All this rambaling is a way to take out my anger. (evil glare)

I will not allow Yates to direct anymore HP films anymore. He cuts out QUIDDITCH?!?!?! Now I've lost my appetite and dinner's ready.


Posted by silvageko Aug 28th 2006

*brooke 1125*what i was trying to say is that wb are more interested in puting flashy, exiting action sequences in,that are not in the book,but will keep a young child and their parents happy in the cinema,instead of being true to the books,that true fans would probably prefere...well i would anyway!!!!!!!!


Posted by brainhacker Aug 28th 2006

Posted by coolydotnet Aug 28th 2006

what happens in the sixth book then i mean quidditch is important the lucky potion and stuff and people who didnt read the book are going to wonder y is ron on the qudditch team.


Posted by hpwiz89 Aug 28th 2006

I don't really care for then cutting the 'Weasley is our King' storyline they had to cut something besides Quidditch is boring.


Posted by flibbertigibbit Aug 28th 2006

its things like this that give me this image in my head of the producers sitting around a table and discussing what else they can to to take away from the film. "if we cut quidditch, we can force the spotlight back to dan and emma, screw over the next director even more, and if we're lucky, add something stupid about glow in the dark shoelaces!"


Posted by wonwonsnogger Aug 28th 2006

o.m.g. Rupert said in the 'conversations with the cast' section of the fourth dvd that he was most looking forward to quidditch in the fifth movie. i feel so bad for him. hes so sexy and i want to hold him and tell him those big jerk guys in charge can shove it. weasley is my king!


Posted by JKrowlingismyIDLE Aug 28th 2006

Its really funny that everyone is getting worked up about this. I mean, get over it; it's a movie. The movies were never that great and quidditch wasn't even a big part, so it won't do much damage.


Posted by Dancer_1021 Aug 28th 2006

OMMGGG are you serious!? NO QUIDDITCH! BUT THATS LIKE HALF THE MOVIE. wow.


Posted by HarrysMyHero Aug 28th 2006

UMM EXCUSE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they HAVE to have Quidditch in there........ agh AGH AGHHHHHH lol....... thats the best part... ok not the BEST part... but DEFINATLEY a GREAT one that they are stupidly cutting.. if they are cutting it at all


Posted by Neith Aug 28th 2006

all I can say is stupid stupid stupid. Maybe its just becuase Im sucha big HP nerd that it sickens me how much they cut out of the movies. If they are gonna make LOTR so long then why not HP?, we would pay to see it!! Needless to say I was completely dissappointed with the fourth. GRR this sucks big time


Posted by dobbyz_left_sock Aug 28th 2006

WHAT!!!!!!!!!! THATS INSANE!!!!!!!! WHATS POTER W/OUT QUDDITCH???? THATS LIKE SAYING LIFE W/OUT AIR!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!! I WAS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT TOO!!!!!!!

GGGRRRRRRRR..........


Posted by obsessions Aug 28th 2006

WTF?? What is wrong with them??!!?! They could have at least worked in a little somethin' about Quidditch, it would have taken 8 extra minutes total and I WOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO LIVE FOR. NOW I DON'T. jk, but still...it's funny how little comments there are on other things and then on this it's like 7000000 :P


Posted by ChadeBrain Aug 28th 2006

Personally, I dont really care that Quidditch isnt in the movie because I never really cared for the Quidditch scenes because thay werent always interesting. Plus they are time consuming and the fifth book is full of important information that it wouldnt be wise to add info that isnt a necessity. They need to save time for the ending, if they put every detail in a movie then we would be watching thirteen hour movies. I applaud, wise descision.


Posted by ChocolateEyedWitch Aug 28th 2006

NOOOOOOO *tear* THEY CAN"T DO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by dobbyroxmysox Aug 28th 2006

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I AGREE W/ obsessions IT'LL ONLY HAVE TOOK THEM LIKE 5 SECONDS TO PUT IN SOMETHING ABOUT QUIDDITCH.GRRRRRR THEY WONT SHOW HARRY AND GEORGE BEATING UP MALFOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
