Producers have removed scenes of the Quidditch broomstick sport from "Harry Potter and the Order Of The Phoenix", causing a small furore amongst fans reports Ananova.

A Warner Brothers source that "If we included everything the film would be seven hours long". Cuts from the film are not surprising, the book by JK Rowling is the longest in the series at nearly 800 pages.

Yet the Quidditch in the book has the distinction that it is the first time Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) takes part in it. Filming, mostly at Leavesden studios in Hertfordshire, is due to finish next month and the movie is due out next July.
