I'm pretty sure they'll cut that section way down and focus on the tension brewing with Ron.
They do have two movies to fill.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I've read the first four HP books and enjoyed them, but my patience with Harry was starting to wear thin by then. I saw the first movie and thought it was a typical not-quite-satisfying book-to-movie convert. I have the rest of the books, but haven't felt any inclination to read them. Perhaps it's because they're becoming teenagers and I expect to be supremely annoyed by them all.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I saw Get Him to the Greek last night. Funnier than I expected, but not as well-crafted as Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I must say, my rational mind wants to dislike Russell Brand, but I am totally charmed by him, even when he's playing a horrible person.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I want to dislike him too, but I've seen him on some British panel shows, and he can be really funny.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
They do have two movies to fill.
They've actually got too much story as it is.
Major set pieces alone include:
Attack on the Fleur/Bill wedding
Invading the Ministry
Visit to Godrick's Hollow gone horribly wrong
Escape from Lovegood house
Escape from Malfoy Manor
Stealing from Gringotts
Battle for Hogwarts
Climactic Duel
That doesn't even include other must-have scenes like King's Cross, Ron's return, Snape flashback, walk to the Forest, Abeforth, Shell Cottage, Grimmauld Place etc.

I really liked Brand in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. In fact, that whole movie was way more enjoyable than I expected.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

He has done some assholish things, I totally get that. On the other hand, some really funny interviews. And I just discovered he's taking krav from a friend of mine, so that'll amuse me for forever.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
He can be funny and an asshole. I hear the two are not mutually incompatible.

But the funny is charming! I want charming and asshole to be mutually incompatible. It's simpler that way. And usually I'm pretty good about writing off the assholes.

There's a fine, fine line between charming and asshole.
OR
One person's "charming" is another person's "asshole."
