Professor Sprout not cut from OotP film - script still unfinished
 

We earlier reported that The Sun, a British tabloid, claimed Miriam Margoyles, the actress who plays Professor Sprout, had told them she would not be in the fifth film, 'Order of the Phoenix' as she'd been cut from the script.

However, WB have now said that the Order of the Phoenix script is unfinished and so they cant comment on the matter.

The article also claims that the fifth installment is about to begin shooting - that is not true. David Heyman told reporters that filming for OotP won't start until early 2006, the script will be written by Michael Goldenberg (Peter Pan) and a director for the project will be announced by the end of this year with the film due out in cinemas sometime in either the spring or autumn of 2007.

I knew it!

You can't really believe anything the Sun says anyway.

I didn't really think so.. Its so early for it.

yeah, got my hopes up...lol

What would you expect from a tabloid??:erm:

Oh well...

well at least the commotion about scripts and stuff lets us know they're doing the movie for sure and not just gonna cancel or whatever =) (i still believe they ought to do all 7, they're halfway through already ...)

I agree with you, they ought to do them all!

I don't get why they're NOT doing all seven.

Since they are doing Order of the Pheonix, they might make all seven.

i sure hope so! :smiles:

Me to, me to.

What was the point of startin to make the movies if they weren't going to do seven,they cant use the excuse the kids are getting too old cos you see people on the tele playing like 15 year old school girls and They are like 20 so I dont see why they cant use the same kids all the way through,But if the kids dont like it any more and want to quit and they are carrying on the movies Then they will have to change them but anyway Im going to shut up now cos Im getting confused myself.

Anyway Im glad she may be staying I quite like Margoyles as an actor She is quite funny.

Sometimes I wish that tabloids were true...but sometimes I don't. This would be a time which I wished they weren't all lies.

I agree.

so do I.

I think most everybody agrees.

so Steve Kloves isn't doing the script? that's good casue it'll be a change.

and i agree, if they're doing OOTP, doing 2 more HP films isn't a big deal...

Sodding tabloids.

I don't want them to but they might stop at OOTP.

*Whew* The Hufflepuff HoH is safe for now... Still, like potterxfan04 said, it's cool to have some sort of news. Hate those "sodding tabloids" for getting us all riled up, though.

good i like professor sprout!! why wouldn't they make all seven?? its a great way to make a lot of money isn't it?? they wouldn't just stop after the 5th film--they're definitely making all 7--i can feel it

Because the actors miss a lot of school and they think the actors will be to old.
