Bringing this from the HP board

Q: Have you got anything you can tell us about the ships in the film? Is the Ginny/Dean storyline still there? Will the H/G kiss still happen in the Gryffindor common room? Anything H/G wise you can tell us?
Has Neville and Luna been scaled down like they were in the book? Or will more scenes for them be added?
A: Yes, Ginny/Dean storyline will be in the film. Yes Harry will kiss Ginny in the common room! The Neville and Luna characters although don't have huge parts in the book will be included a lot more. Apparently they can't decide whether or not to include Slughorn's Xmas Party however from what my uncle has told me he believes it WILL be included in the end! For people who keep asking me about Quidditch I can confirm (at the moment) that Quidditch WILL be in the film! However you know what WB are like, at this current moment Quidditch will be included. (That could all change though! I'll keep you posted!)

Q: Have you heard anything about casting?
There are rumors about Naomi Watts, Joseph Fiennes, and Stuart Townsend, but Leaky says they are false.
As of now, Mugglenet hasn't changed their story though.
Is the Muggle Prime Minister being cut out of the script?
A: Now this is a difficult one! I've spoken to my uncle about this plenty of times and he's keeping it pretty quiet! The casting process is really getting going at the moment so loads of rumours are being thrown around! The only one I can really sort of confirm is Horace Slughorn. Bob Hoskins WILL be offered the role! Seeing as though he has expressed an interest in being in a Harry Potter film, I feel we can pretty much expect to see him as Slughorn! And yes, the 'Other Minister' chapter has been cut! The movie will start from chapter 2 - 'Spinner's End'!

Q: I was also wondering about those casting rumors and if you knew if Helena Carter will be back for this one. Also will, being a Draco fan, wanted to know if he will get a fair amount of screen time by the looks of the script?
A: Yes HBC will return for the beginning. I'm so happy to say at last that Tom Felton will have a lot more screen time in this movie! Woo! Every film his role has become smaller and smaller but HBP will once again bring him to the forefront! Also, Rupert Grint will have more screen time as well
