Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban[Movie]やHarry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix[Movie]で、Trelawney先生（Divinations teacher）役のEmma ThompsonがHeathrow空港拡張計画に反対して、Greenpeaceなどとともに計画されている土地を購入するなどして運動を展開しているようです。
これに対して、LA（ハリウッド)とイギリスを行き来する人間（Emma Thompson）がいるなど需要があるから必要なのだ、という主張も。
（以下は、the PhoenixでUmbridgeにHogwartsから追放されようとしている場面）
Sybil Trelawney: 16 years I've lived and taught here! Hogwarts is my home! You can't do this!
Dolores Umbridge: Actually, I can. 
[McGonagall arrives and tries to comfort Trelawney]
Dolores Umbridge: [to McGonagall] Something you'd like to say, dear?
Minerva McGonagall: Oh, there are several things I would like to say!
Albus Dumbledore: [Dumbledore arrives]
Albus Dumbledore: Professor McGonagall, might I ask you to escort Sybil back inside?
Minerva McGonagall: [to Trelawney] Sybil, dear, this way.
Sybil Trelawney: [shakes Dumbledore's hand] Oh, thank you! Thank you!
Dolores Umbridge: Dumbledore, may I remind you that under the terms of Educational Decree #23, as enacted by the Minister...
Albus Dumbledore: You have the right to dismiss my teachers. You do not, however, have the authority to banish them from the grounds. That power remains with the headmaster.
Dolores Umbridge: For now.
Dolores Umbridge: [holding clipboard and smiling at Trelawney] Could you please predict something for me?
Sybil Trelawney: [stops teaching and looks over at Umbridge with a surprised and unhappy face] I'm sorry?
