Sybill Trelawney Not in 'Half-Blood Prince'
Poor Sybill Trelawney.* First Umbridge has at her in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, in front of all the students, no less. Now she's really been sacked! At least, she has been from the next movie. After hearing that Moaning Myrtle was left out of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Snitch Seeker reports that so is Emma Thompson's Trelawney. A Hamilton Hodell rep said: "She is not in the Half-Blood Prince."
As the site points out, this means that she won't be able to play helpful informant to Harry. (What she tells him, I'll leave out to save the eyes of those who haven't read the books yet.) With two important players out of the film, it begs the question of how the story will come together. I imagine their important roles in this part of the story will be given to another character, but who? We'll have to wait until November 21 to find out.
*The UK/Canada spelling is being used. I've no idea why it's spelled "Sibyll" for the US.

3. it's indeed such a crucial part in the book
...the prophecy, snape who hears it ... I don't understand why they don't want it in the film, especially now they know how the serie ends...they know why snape turned out to be a 'good guy'...

4. Professor Trelawney reveals perhaps the most important information of the entire book!! Why would they cut her out? It's completely unnessecary. I mean, they are making millions of dollars already anyway, would it really hurt to pay one more actor?
Besides, everyone knows that Trelawney is a fraud. If she isn't in the movie, it wouldn't reveal to the non-readers why she has been permitted stay and why Dumbledore fought to let her stay at Hogwarts after being sacked in HP 5.
Why, Warner Brothers? Why?
