Ask any Harry Potter fan who've ever ended a rant against them with the sentence: "Yeah I'm still gonna see the movie."
Latest example: Ciarán Hinds has been cast as Aberforth Dumbledore for Deathly Hallows.
As you might recall, Aberforth was already cast and played by someone else in Order of the Phoenix. The completist in me rails at this, because why bother casting the part if you weren't going to have the same actor back? At best it shows a lack of foresight. Now the continuity is all messed up, you jerks!
But on the other hand, omg Ciarán Hinds!!
The corporation is slowly draining away my nerd morals.

Annoying yes, but to be fair, Aberforth was only in Order of the Phoenix for about 5 seconds. Plus, had Deathly Hallows been released when they filmed OotP? Maybe they didn't know that he'd play such a big role in the last book, and that they'd need him back.
I was a bit unsure about Ciaran Hinds when I first read about it. They only thing I've seen him in is Persuasion, and I couldn't really see it. But I'm coming round to the idea.
I can't remember if Deathly Hallows was out or not. Probably not. But I think they must have known something, or else why would they leave him in at all?
I just remembered that DH wasn't out (at least when they were filming) because the film and book were released within a week of each other. But you're right, if they hadn't expected to use the character more, it seems silly to have kept that little sequence in.
