I could respect that excuse if it was the case for Harry Potter. But usually it's not. They change things unnecessarily, like which character says what line for absolutely no reason. That bothers me.

And while I also understand that certain things need to get cut, I personally feel that whoever's deciding what gets cut is doing a bang up job on scene priorities.

Agreed. Like in the 5th movie where the death eaters are chasing them through the prophecy room and they start disappearing and reappearing in clouds of smoke. WTF? The only reason to do that is to introduce a pointless special effect.

Looking good. Shame we could have been watching it this month.
