No scrap can go! The plot's so tight
The prospect's dim they'll get it right
Then last June's resulting rubble
Doubled all the toil and trouble.
Someting wicked this way comes!
If you haven't seen the prescreening reports (at either LeakyCauldron or MuggleNet) you may want to avoid them. They bode naught but ill, other than that Lupin's supposed to be brilliant. Of course, if you don't want to be unpleasantly surprised on June 4th, read them. Being unpleasantly surprised might just add more fuel to the legions that would go against Alfonso Cuaron (Sirius, for instance, is reported as "slightly more insane than I imagined him".)
Let's add to the gruesome stuff over there that it's supposed to be the shortest film yet. That and the "Housekeeping" scene probably gratuitously sucks up time. I don't want to think what they cut. If they cut Buckbeak, for instance, my hopes of poetic justice are pretty much dead. Oh heck, 92% of PoA would be deemed uncuttable by any fan. Not so for a producer. JKR should never have given in to these goons; I mean, she was making plenty already!
