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!

These movies are good for nothing but extra money. I'm not seeing this movie. I'll wait for spoilers on the net and I'll rent it for like three dollars when it comes out. I'm not going to go and waste 9 dollars on a movie that's just about Harry and all franchised and stuff. What's the point? I can't stand how they portray Ron.

I really hope this isn't true.

It's a wickedly long book and I don't mind missing out on Quidditch. The director's doing the best he can and I think I would have cut Quidditch too.

WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. well that is pretty gay. i was lookin forward to that...well the rest the movie better be damn good or i will be extremely upset.


Posted by puremagiic Aug 26th 2006

No. Way. You can bet there will be a fan uprising over this...I'm mad now. But hey, even if Weasley isn't King in the movies, he'll always be King to the fans =] WEASLEY IS MY KING!!

canarycream23, remember it was you, not me, who treated this just as a funny scene. And it was you who used that tactfully way to talk about it first. They can not include all the “other side plots”, they (as we already know) are including some of them, but maybe you have suddenly forgetting about all the other scenes we know they are including. And that they are not including quidditch here, doesn’t mean they won’t include it in movie 6, and then you will see all those characters playing it. And about “the response of other fans on the comments board”, you should know how fans in these comments boards are… they are always complaining, criticizing and bashing. Not all of them are like that obviously, but we know how bashers are… mature people would understand they can not satisfy everyone. ;)

wow um retarded maybe? Too bad they couldnt shoot all these subplots and include them later on a special edition dvd or something


Posted by rn362 Aug 26th 2006

MAN!!!!!! THAT SUCKS!!! I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO "WEASLEY IS OUR KING!" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by elven9 Aug 26th 2006

this STINKS! i was just wondering weather i approve of yates as a director or not, but now, it's a big fat NO! i'm already disappointed about GoF because they didn't include some of the greatest parts of the book. i'd rather have two movies instead of one messed up movie. anyone who agrees say I !!!!

Posted by cheep_wand Aug 26th 2006

NOOOOOO! *faints from shock* My life... it's... flashing before my eyes... "Weasley is our king" song... ringing in my ears. Dying.... Dying to DEATH. *falls over and dies, whilst everyone breaks into tears at such a horrible loss... aka me*


Posted by canarycream23 Aug 26th 2006

quidditchplayer, it seems like you are the only one bashing other people on this board. Not only are you correcting me but other users on this board. How about you worry about your own opinion and stop worrying about what I wrote or oddball or anyone else writes. BTW, I didn't refer to this scene as "just funny". Since you're a fan of reading other people's comments, read mine over again and reflect silently. And no hard feelings...right?


Posted by Mrs_Finnegan Aug 26th 2006

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I really wanted one of the to hear weasley is are king!! In some interview with rupert, he said he was really excited to play quidditch. Aww, this sucks

Posted by beakany Aug 26th 2006

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO that is SO stupid! i can't believe they're going to do that!


Posted by katetate Aug 26th 2006

What about stuff like the thestrals? Are they going to replace that with cars and will they use magic anymore or will Harry back out a gun one day?


Posted by rn362 Aug 26th 2006

Posted by TinaL Aug 26th 2006

YEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO GLAD THE SMART FILMAKERS WON'T BE WASTING THEIR TIME IN THIS STUPID QUIDDITCH!! EVEN JKR SAID THAT SHE HATED WRITING ABOUT QUIDDITCH


Posted by Hope_Lee Aug 26th 2006

WHAT?!?!?! *headdesk*


Posted by phia991 Aug 26th 2006

WHAT NOO!!!!!!!!dude rupe on a broom would have been so hot!!! ughhh NOO!


Posted by Kareen Aug 26th 2006

NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! How can they do this?! There was barely any Quidditch in the third film!!! How can they completely cut it out?! It's an essential part of Harry's life at Hogwarts!!! How could they do this?!!!!!!


Posted by xony Aug 26th 2006

I am so pissed...I LOVE the Quidditch scenes... This is *not* right...


Posted by siriusly_wired Aug 26th 2006

sigh. siriusly, these movie writers always leave out some of the greatest parts in the books. I really want to see quiditch in this movie!! Hopefully they regret leaving this part out.


Posted by rn362 Aug 26th 2006

hey phia991, i said he would look hot on a broom FIRST! AND TinaL, WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH U!!!!!????????


Posted by yues_woman Aug 26th 2006

Well, that sucks, but that's that's movie making for you. It's alright, as long as they don't cut Tonks and Lupin's scene from HBP... What do you mean I'm thinking too far ahead?


Posted by Kenboyjr028 Aug 26th 2006

Poop, anyway, where's the proof of this. I'd rather see an article or video or something before I get all bummed out. How can you post this without a source?


Posted by Luna Aug 26th 2006

WHAT?!?! No, impossible....they...they...CAN'T. How can there be a Harry Potter movie without Quidditch????


Posted by TinaL Aug 26th 2006

rn362 7 what's your problem, Quidditch is a waste of Time, period...doesn't bring anything to the plot and that is what it'is important, plus sorry to say this but after seeing the latest pictures of Rupert in HPANA I think Rupert is not good looking at all, he looks really bad!


Posted by Samantha_Weasley Aug 26th 2006

WTH no Weasley Is Our King?? thats like my favorite part out of the whole book! ahh these movies are going down hill......


Posted by danfan1o1 Aug 26th 2006

nooooooooooo i was looking forward to this!


Posted by blondeleo Aug 26th 2006

What a waste. It's such a good storyline! So much fun, and funniness! I hate how they've started to delete Quidditch from the films. I say: EITHER DO THE MOVIES PROPERLY, OR NOT AT ALL!


Posted by rn362 Aug 26th 2006

I'M DEATHLY ILL, AND THE ONLY MEDICINE IS.... RON ON A BROOM!!


Posted by mugglelover25 Aug 26th 2006

what?! that sucks. i was really looking foward to that.


Posted by djm19 Aug 26th 2006

I dont care about "weasly is our king" or anything like that (it would probably look stupid in the movie anyway). But I wonder how, or even if at all harry, george, and fred will lose their brooms. Perhaps a fight before a match (in a hallway) with an opposing teams member... They can allude to these sorts of things without actually having a match. Also when harry and hermoine go to see Garp, I wonder where they will stick that (and if they will then include Ron too)


Posted by she_hates_time Aug 26th 2006

OMFrigginG!!!!!!!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!


Posted by ishxtimextoxdance Aug 26th 2006

ohh i'm ticked. i was looking forward to seeing some ron on broom.. GAH!


Posted by anitaFELTON Aug 26th 2006

ooooomg. thats LAME. i love quidditch scenes!! :(


Posted by rn362 Aug 26th 2006

hey, TinaL, go to www.youtube.com, and in the box, type "driving lessons and movie" then click the trailer. in that video, he's looking preeetty nice ;)


Posted by smurff Aug 26th 2006

I don't know why... I love watching Quidditch matches. Damn
