Dursleys not in GOF!
« on: May 6, 2004, 03:51:49 AM »
I got this topic from one of the Harry Potter sites. Here it is:
------------------------------------------

Actor Richard Griffiths' agent told Newsround Online that Richard was "very disappointed" not to be appearing as Uncle Vernon in the film.

Griffiths also told a newspaper that he was hoping for a fans' revolt.

He said he'd even asked JK Rowling to try and get his character re-instated, but the fourth book is very long.

Griffiths is reported as saying "I said to JK Rowling: "Couldn't the Dursleys turn up to an open day at Harry's school or something,' but she said, 'I don't think so'."

The book of The Goblet of Fire is so long that there as no way that the filmmakers could fit everything into the movie.

It now looks as if the action will start at The Burrow or the Quidditch World Cup.

Although he says he won't be in this film, Richard Griffith says he's hoping to be back for Order of the Phoenix.

cool thanks.  and I trhink it makes perfect sense not to start at the Dursley's this time.  I know th=e book is long and I knew they'd have to cut a lot of parts from it for the movie.  This, is just one that can be easily cut with out hurting the original story.

The director has to change some things to suit the movie. I don't know why they changed what you mentioned but yeah...

...HE didn't direct the goblet of fire.Cuaron was a good director,but they made way to many cuts.It was excellent movie wise,but...They cut way to much out.Anyway,theres a new director at the moment.
