I'm sure they were there, but the only important plant in the book was the Mimbulus Mimbletonia, and we don't need Sprout to introduce us to it. As far as the new scriptwriter, I'm excited to see what he'll do. -------------------- "For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love."

Possible scriptwriter for OotP... http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/MTarchives/005206.html

*does a no-more-Steve-Kloves happy dance*
Not that this necessarily means the script is going to be better. I hope he doesn't actively try to make his script like Steve Kloves; that might make it worse. I hope Ron gets some intelligent lines though. That would be great.

For people who have seen Peter Pan, (for which Michael Goldenberg wrote the script), what did you think of the script?

I don't remember much Herbology in OotP either. -------------------- "Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see" - Strawberry Fields Forever (The Beatles) "We're forced to bed, but we're free to dream" - Gift Shop (The Tragically Hip) I said "Lily, oh Lily I'm so afraid I fear I am walking in the Veil of Darkness" And she said "Child take what I say with a pinch of salt and protect yourself with fire"

I loved Peter Pan! The children didn't come off as idiots (which is what many movies do to children). Plus, with Peter Pan, he'll already have experience with a story of magic and fantasy. Hopefully he writes teenagers as well as he does children. The key toOotP won't be the magic and fantasy but Harry's angst. (That may be one reason that Cuaron should return)

That little press release about Professor Sprout is a bit silly. She has nothing to do except maybe sit at the staff table and drip soft-boiled egg from her spoon at one point while reading, I believe. And award Harry 20 points to Gryffindor, for handing her some dragon poo. Maybe that scene shouldn't be cut. I'd hate to miss Flitwick giving Harry the ice mice, after all. -------------------- Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere. Anton Ego

Cuz, um, yeah, I could name quite a few instances where there was some creative license taken... -------------------- As I live and breathe You have killed me You have killed me Yes I walk around somehow But you have killed me You have killed me

Of course, things had to change, just as for the HP books, but I think they were smart changes. Like I said, I'm excited to see what he'll do. Change is good. -------------------- "For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love." "Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were.

Like the last 20 minutes of PoA for example?
