I believe he will be. But Hermione was supposed to be hysterical about Grawp, not talk to him like a stern babysitter. I really don't see the point in changing that. It's just like Neville not being able to see thestrals--it didn't cut down on movie time and help the plot along, so what was the point?

I'm not talking to you, CP2000, but I needed to quote that to bring up a oiint---why do people keep repeating this, like we missed it? We know that happened, we just didn't like it. It still seems like a pointless change to the story, as it creates more plot problems than it fixes. Their relationship could have ended a number of ways (including with the blame off Marietta) without the movie running too long--if we could come up with time-saving options that stayed true to the book, the director should have been able to do so as well!
