WARNING-- THE FOLLOWING TEXT CONTAINS SPOILERS CONCERNING THE FOURTH HARRY POTTER MOVIE!!! DO NOT READ IF YOU WANT THE MOVIE TO BE A SURPRISE!!!
I used to work with a movie review site, and still get reports from some people who think I still do work there. Nowadays I don't use them, but this one I thought I would pass onto you. It contains MAJOR SPOILERS on the upcoming GOF film. My contact got about a half hour alone with a script while doing some work connected with the film. She didn't get to read it through and through, obviously, but got to do a good look of what's in and what's not. Here's a breakdown: (BEGIN SPOILERS) What's been cut: the SPEW storyline altogether, opening scene with the Dursleys, the Hogwarts express (there are shots of it, but nothing in the train,) and the wand weighing. What's still in: Creepy opening scene with Voldemort, Wormtail and Nagini. The Dark Mark scene, the "Potter Stinks" bit, the skrewts, the horntail challenge, the merpeople challenge (should be very cool!) The final challenge, although the spider may NOT be in it. (My source didn't remember seeing it.) The Sphinx is in. So is Dobby and Winky, the Portkeys, Crouch freaking out, the Pensieve scene and Cedric's end. Things that are drastically cut: Yule Ball, Quidditch World Cup, Rita Skeeter stuff (she's in it, but not as much as the book,) Harry stressing over the egg clue, Snape scenes (he's not in it much,) Hagrid & Maxine love story (it's there, but just reduced to a few brief moments for humor,) Dumbledore's humor (again... they never get him right!) Note on the ending: they manage to get it all pretty much in, which is surprising given what's going on. END SPOILERS. I have to tell you, I was disappointed when I heard they cut this from two movies to one, but it sounds like they really pulled it off. The second challenge really acts as a mid-movie action sequence that should blow the doors off of a lot of what we've seen so far in the films. The final challenge also sounds amazing, and the ending should be really creepy. I know they say this with every movie, but this one could be really eerie (not just "dark") because of the very evil Voldemort scenes. Not sure what the young ones will think of it. This stands to do justice to the book, and be the best movie of the series! (And after Cuaron's work, that's saying something!)
I got this off of Mugglenet. Some reporter went to the set of GOF> They are so lucky! I like the sounds of the movie. The SPEW thing isn't really needed. I do wish they wouldn't cut the Yule Ball so much, or the spider in the third challenge. The Yule Ball would have been pretty funny, and the spider is just plain exciting! What do you guys think? :)
that sucks i like the SPAW story line and the ball isnt gong to be that long and evry thing else i dont like it
They'r cutting it to pieces! They might as well get another name for it, because it won't be Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire with out the Quidditch Cup, SPEW, the Yule ball or anything else they cut!
Well, Mugglenet recently said that the people making the movie are attempting to keep it as close to the book as possible. I don't think they'll take out as much as they did as in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The Quidditch Cup and the Yule Ball are in it, but they won't be quite so long as in the book, if I understand the set report correctly. The SPEW line is funny, but considering the length of the book, some things do need to be cut. I'm not trying to start any fights, I'm just expressing my opinion. :-\
The first task is now being filmed. It was posted on Mugglenet. The dragon is computer generated. Cool, huh? 8)
I can't wait to see how the Triwizard Tournament will look!
I read that in the fourth movie, Hermione kisses Victor Krum!! :o What do you guys think about the extra romance? I personally think that it will make the movie more exciting!
i read that this was a romuor
I personally wouldn't have minded if that happened, but that'll make Emma Watson's fans go crazy. ;D
