“THE COLERAINE TIMES” ??? Hahaha are you kidding me? Talk about local its about 20 mins from where I live… wow, honestly wow!! Northern Ireland you never fail to surprise me!

Very interesting, but odd, since her character is only mentioned in the books. Well, I guess it will make the part where Hermione modifies their memories more emotional and show the pain that she must have gone through when she did that. I’m glad the actress is excited to play the part and I’m glad she’s going to read the books and watch the movies, although it won’t help her with her part. I guess it will still help her get an overall feel for the series, though, so it certainly can’t hurt. I do worry about what parts they’re going to cut if they’re including stuff like this, though.

Congratulations! I think it will be neat to see Hermione’s parents in the film! And they haven’t actually stated there’s no wedding have they? Just no Bill and Fleur? Which means there’s still hope, they could always use Tonks and Lupin for the wedding and Shell Cottage!

In terms of the wedding, most believe it has been cut since Bill and Fleur are not in HBP. It would be odd to introduce their wedding when we’ve never even seen Bill in the films. The best guess is that the wedding will be Tonk’s and Lupin’s, if they have it at all.

Also, we may be jumping to conclusions about how big a role this is. A few scenes could mean just about anything. They’re making two films, guys. The important parts will be there.

Wow, the casted Mrs. Granger, but not the Muggle prime minister for HBP? Maybe they want to make the departure between Hermione and her parents more emotional…

I think this is a strange bit of news. I think they are still going to have to cut things from the films even though there are two. There is just too much going on in the book for things to not get cut. I think the only reason this seems strange is that it says she is going to be in 3 or 4 scenes. What are these scenes?

I also thought we hadn’t heard any confirmation that Bill and Fleur’s wedding had been cut. I am not accepting that as truth until we hear more. They have started filming so maybe we will hear some news soon.

I think it’s great that they’re working so hard to cast the right people – but I wish they’d pay as much attention to important characters like Bill and Fleur!

Maybe she’s not really Mrs. Granger, but a 36 year old Hermione?… I dunno.

I think casting Mrs. Granger makes sense.

My parents and so many of my friends have asked if Hermione was an orphan because we never see them in the films. After I tell them, “no, she has parents”, they wonder why the films never show them. I myself wonder why they’re not more visible in the books.

If the film just had Hermione tell Harry and Ron that she modifed her parent’s memories, the general audience member wouldn’t be fazed much because they have no connection to Hermione’s home life or parents. The average filmgoer will need to see the scene play out for a bigger impact.

Nobody except the people working on the film know if the wedding has been cut as far as I know. I wouldn’t worry unless it was announced that they are definitely cutting it. My best guess is that they will have the wedding and either change it to Tonks and Lupin’s, or they will find some creative way to introduce Bill to the film audience. If they don’t have it, then I don’t know how they are going to send the trio off on their journey or introduce Luna’s father.

I still think, though, that Hermione’s parents will not take up lots a screen time. Most likely, they will just show up in a few quick flashback scenes as Hermione is describing what she did to protect her parents from the Death Eaters.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who would appreciate the Other Minister over Hermoine’s parents…

It’ll be interesting to see.
I’m sure she’ll be great. :-)
