Am I the only one absoultely devasted by the fact that seem to have cut House Elves completely from the movies?

Dobby and Winky didn't feature in GoF and now there are rumours that Dobby won't be in OotP. Is this the end to Hermoine and S.P.E.W!?

Save the House Elves!

No, really.
I rather they cut Dobby and not more important parts. Considering how GoF went, SPEW is completely out, so is Winky.
There's a lot in OotP so the best we can do is be grateful that the really important stuff will be in there.

Yeah I know what you mean even without Dobby they seem to find time for plenty of unimportant bits.

Obviously without Dobby in OotP they need Harry to discover the Room of Requirement somehow; why not just stick with the book and have Dobby tell Harry?

I'm sure Hermione will be the one to discover the RoR,Rolling Eyes or maybe Harry will stumble upon it by accident. It might be harder to re-introduce Dobby and Winky because they were completely absent in the GoF movie. I miss them.

They could always have the Weasley twins show the Trio the Room of Requirement, if need be.

If you had to choose between Dobby and Grawp, which would you rather see in the fifth movie?

As for S.P.E.W. ... while it surely highlights what type of person Hermione is (idealistic and non-compromising), it hasn't really gone anywhere in the stories. Rather, all it does is highlight how woefully unaware Hermione is - she does not understand the people she would help and save.

Maybe it will be important in book 7 - maybe S.P.E.W. will pay off. But it isn't really important to what is happening in OotP. I mean, I assume that Kreacher will say how much he hates her for being a mudblood, and she'll say how awful it is that he's Sirius' slave, and Ron (or someone) will tell her she's being stupid. Any more than that, and most of the audience will probably get bored with the idea.....

I'd rather see Dobby. Because we all know that Hagrid is barkers when it comes to monsters and such beings. We learnt about that in the first and second movie. Dobby on the other hand has a major role so he really should be part of the movie IMO.

I understand Kreacher is going to be in the film. Dobby would only detract from the miserable elf. Winky would definitely detract, as she'd have to be introduced/explained.

Prof. Dumbledore would probably hint the RoR to Harry; or the twins might show it to him, and might be surprised themselves that its more than a broom closet.

Dobby is very important in the story! And Dobby and winky would add, not detract.

Dobby is a happy rebel, Winky is a sad outcast. We see two points of view of not serving, and they would be like a foil to Kreacher. You know, a character that is added to allow the reader to see another character better by being thier opposite. Does that make sense?

I know this is horribly off topic, but I couldn't help laughing when I saw your avatar.

Drama Draught. Did I just see a plot bunny hop past?
