Kreacher, the Black family's house-elf, had been cut from Order of the Phoenix in one draft of the script. However, Rowling persuaded the filmmakers to include him, saying, "You know, I wouldn't [cut him] if I were you. Or you can, but if you get to make a seventh film, you'll be tied in knots", and he was added back into the script.[8] Timothy Bateson voiced the character in the film;[9] it is unknown if Bateson will again voice the character.
