Order of the Pheonix movie news

[Scellanis]

Professor Sprout has been cut from the movie. The actress that plays her says she has been cut from the Order of the Pheonix movie even though she appears in the book.

Poor person, I like Professor Sprout....

Although, what does Sprout actually do in the book?? I can't remember

I wanted to ask the same thing: does she do anything important in the book? I guess they have lots of other events to be included in the movie

[Scellanis]

They didn't say on the Radio...just announced she wouldn't be in it...I got the impression the actress was quite upset about it though I imagine after 3 movies its pretty hard not to be a fan of the books....

Even if the movie can't offer her a significant role, I'd still put her in the background.
Same goes for Oliver Wood in Azkaban. Just because the Qudditch match was in a storm and we can't see him properly, there's a lot of students shown in movie, throw him in the crowd somewhere....

[Mint]

yeah! I mean maybe people who didn't read the books wouldn't care, but we would be able to spot them!!!

Poor woman though I agree though I can't remember what she was doing in 4th book either <_<'

Just showing the characters briefly still costs money and I think money was one of the main reasons why they have been cut off.

How's Sprout going to not be a part of it? They must at least mention her. She gives Harry a bit of a hard time when he first is part of the tournament (or maybe he just imagines she does), but she is the one to speak with the Diggorys after Cedric dies. However, if they play that scene really fast, which you know they will, even the bit about her talking with them could be cut to nothingness. She also teaches the class about the bubotuber pus, which Hermione receives in an owl post later on.

If you think about it, Sprout was pretty much just around and has served her purpose, so far as I can tell. I like the actress who plays her, and I don't like the idea of just cutting characters if they don't have an important part of the plot, simply because it adds to the movie to have all the teachers there, but her main purpose from a literary sense does seem to be the one preparing the Mandrakes in CoS. It's kind of like a few other characters or story plots. A lesser author would just completely get rid of them after they've served their purpose, but Rowling, being the genius she is, includes them as much as possible so they don't just disappear.
