What did you miss most that they cut from the movie?

I love the scene at the Dursleys' when the Weasleys come into the bricked-up fireplace. And at the Burrow when Charlie and Bill are fencing with tables, and they all sit down to a fabulous summer picnic.

I didn't like the Neville told Harry about Gillyweed. The whol point of that scene, in my opinion, was to show that Harry was stubborn and wouldn't ask his most knowledgeable friend for help.

Also Parvati and Padma were both walking around in the Gryffindor CR...Hello! Padma's in Ravenclaw.

I think it was stupid to leave out that Fluer was part veela and leave in Ron going crazy over her. I also didn't like that fact that the parts of the book that have to be left in to progress the story to the next books, like Snape being a deatheater, felt like they were thrown in, not actually part of the storyline.

The Quidditch World Cup was completely cut out :(. I wanted to see how they would interpret what a Veela would look like.

I also missed the time with the Dursley's. I don't like the way they treat Harry but I think they're funny in the movies.

I missed the World Cup. They could have cut some of the Yule Ball and put some quidditch in there.

Oh wait, I also wanted to see more of Rita Skeeter; how she was getting all the gossip about people and how Hermione figured her out.

The Parting Of The Ways. I wanted to see the whole hospital wing scene with Mrs Weasley and Harry hugging, coz that's so sad, and McGonagall and Fudge screaming at each other coz I really liked that in the book! Apart from that then probably the scene in the Dursley's with the fireplace.

I agree i missed the world cup, i would like to see krum fly. Even though the dance lesson scene was funny, i would have gladdly cut it for something actually in the book. Did anybody feel like they portrayed Dumbledore a little wrong, I don't have my copy of GOF handy, but I don't remember Dumbledore throwing Harry into a wall after the selection of the champions. Dumbledore seemed to be more out of control than he is in the book, angry instead of calm.

The jealous sniping from Hermione (re: Fleur) and the jealous sniping from Ron (re: Krum). There was some...but the furious looks and broken Quidditch figures woulda been hi-larious (in a very sweet way). :)

Definately the parting of the ways!!! And I wanted to see Dudley with a 4 foot tounge and the Dursley's living room being blasted apart by Arthur, but I guess I'll live *sniff*

There werent any Veelas at the world cup i don't think.

They didnt really mention Veelas at all to do with Fleur which was annoying

There wasnt enough quidditch!!

Missed bits out of the maze and filled it up with them walking around in the mist... great eh

Really missed the scene in the Dursleys! and the Weasley picnic and the bit about the Dark Mark was weird... where was Winky? and Dobby with the Gillyweed????

Agreed...parting of ways and Dursley's

I forgot about the hospital wing scene! That is so touching, I agree, needed to be there.

There wasnt enough quidditch!!

there isn't any quidditch in the GoF book, it's cancelled for the Tournament.

I missed a lot that was cut, but I think the two important bits, although the first can be reworked in the way the elves' absence was reworked, 1) the whole Rita Skeeter thing - how else is Harry going to get his version of events published in OotP and 2) the parting of the ways, although I'm sure in film 5 they will simply have DD referring to how Fudge doesn't believe them.

I think it will be interesting once all the films are made to re-watch them all to figure out where the filmmakers were going, because they must have some idea!

But yes, they're never going to get it all in, and frankly I'll just stick to the books on the whole.

Mostly dialogue:

CONSTANT VIGILANCE!!

Harry fighting off the Imperious curse.

After Sirius nags Harry about being careful. "You'd think I walk around with my eyes shut, banging off walls..."

"Vicky"

"Her-my-own-ninny"

Dean to Ron "How'd you get date with the best looking girls in the school?"

Ron - 'Animal Magnetism"

There is a lot of witty dialogue that just wasn't included.

I think that the Rita Skeeter part should have been in the movie. It plays into the next book too much.

They also did not discuss why the wands locked up in the duel enough. They should have either went all the way with Dumbeldore's explination, or left it out completly. It was like he started to explain, and then stopped.

I missed Sirius at the end the most!!! Sirius was supposed to be there to console Harry.

I missed the shower of gold from the leprachauns at the Tri wizard tournament, the Veelas, that wouldn't of taken much time in the movie and would have been cool. The twins gambling.(I miss Mr harris as Dumbledore). Rita Skeeta anomorphing into a beetle. And the hospital wing scene(ms.weasley,and also the awarding of the prize money).

I really missed the house-eleves. :upset:

I MISSED EVERYTHING THAT THEY CUT FROM THE MOVIE!!!!!! :upset: :upset: :upset: :upset: :upset: :upset: :upset: :upset: :upset: WHY DID THEY HAVE TO CUT EVERYTHING THAT MADE IT SO GOOD?

I agree, I miss some of the dialogue which I know they can't put it all in, but I laughed out loud in the book when Hermione was saying that everything was going to get harder and Ron says "Right little ray of sunshine arn't you" LOL.. I missed that.

I missed opening it up with the Dursley's... I think that's a fabulous scene that would have been fun even though it's not totally neccessary. I do think that it's important that Rita Skeeter is an unregistered animagus. That plays a key role in book 5. I'm fine with there being no SPEW, but I do think that it would have been important to just (very briefly) establish that Dobby is now working for Hogwarts, because he comes into play again later on.

LUDO BAGMAN! Come on, he was necessary! Quidditch in general: the fact that Krum was a bit thick was only explained by Hermione in the end, but it would have been nice to see Krum catching the Snitch and then losing. But oh well, you can't have your cake and eat it.

LUDO BAGMAN!

YEAH! He would have made such a good film character too!

YEAH! He would have made such a good film character too!
Definitely the parting of the ways. I missed everything, but I thought the parting of the ways was especially important for development of the story, let alone the interrogation of Barty Jr wrapup scene and other character development stuff.

i would of loved to see some of the scenes with draco malfoy and the blast ended skrewts, especialy the one where he is hiding in the cabin while the others are attemptin to controll them.

i aslo would of like more of sirius, rita and the house-elfs all so

The Quiddich World Cup!!!! it was only like 30 sec. :upset: they didn't even say who won!! or did they? :scared:

I missed the whole finding out Rita Skeeter was a bug bit. Miranda Richardson was just brilliant as the character so it was a shame they didn't use more of her. I know they were strapped for time but the way they did it seemed pointless that she was there at all.

While I loved the movie and wouldn't change a thing, the one part I miss was the end hospital scene. I would have loved to see Mrs. Weasley's face when she sees Sirius Black change back from his dog form- I always liked that part. That whole chapter was cut so I wonder how the film makers are going to explain parts of it in movie 5.

i missed the quidditch cup, i missed the whole rebirthing scene, the whole barty crouch jr/mad eye moody plotline, i missed the hospital scene.

i really wanted to see how they were going to add the part where harry was in the divination class and he dreamed of voldermort(sp?) doing the cruciatious(sp?) curse on wormtail; and harry started having convulsions. WHich of course led to the final skeeter article questioning Harry's stability to be in school

"They all travel in packs! How're you supposed to get one on their own to ask them?"

"Lasso one?"

I MISSED EVERYTHING THAT THEY CUT FROM THE MOVIE!!!!!! :upset: :upset: :upset: :upset: :upset: :upset: :upset: :upset: :upset: WHY DID THEY HAVE TO CUT EVERYTHING THAT MADE IT SO GOOD?
Because it's an ADAPTATION.

I've decided I absolutely don't want them to stick to the books line-for-line, action-for-action. Yes, they should stick, but some originality is wonderful for us HP fans that reread books thousands of times and already know the lines by heart.

Though they do seem to have focused more on making a thriller than encapturing the essence of GoF.

The Quiddich World Cup!!!! it was only like 30 sec. :upset: they didn't even say who won!! or did they? :scared:

Well, they didn't out right say that Ireland won, but back in the tent after the 30 second scene of the start of the Quidditch World Cup, Fred, George, and Ron are dancing around with what I think was an Irish flag around their backs, which would imply that Ireland won...

I think i missed the icky love scene at the end where hermione kisses harry (i really wanted to see how real they could make it look)

The scene where Barty Crouch Sr. goes crazy in the woods. That would have made such a great cinematic scene. And definitely the parting of the ways. It's just going to make more to explain in OoTP.

I think i missed the icky love scene at the end where hermione kisses harry (i really wanted to see how real they could make it look)

Love scene? Boy, I have no idea what you're talking about!

I was upset that they didnt put the other parts with sirius in the movie, seeing that he was what the third book was based around and then in book five when he plays an even bigger role in harrys life

i was really upset that they are completey disregarded the whole Weasley's joke shop scheme, ane the prize money...also the whole rita skeeter is a animangus plot

Mostly dialogue:

CONSTANT VIGILANCE!!

Harry fighting off the Imperious curse.

After Sirius nags Harry about being careful. "You'd think I walk around with my eyes shut, banging off walls..."

"Vicky"

"Her-my-own-ninny"

Dean to Ron "How'd you get date with the best looking girls in the school?"

Ron - 'Animal Magnetism"

There is a lot of witty dialogue that just wasn't included.

YES. I miss Ron's storytelling after the Second Task, and Hermione's "What were you going to do? Snore at them?" comment.

And I missed Quidditch so much. The QWC is like the ultimate Quidditch match, and we didn't get to see it :upset: And then in OotP Harry gets banned from Quidditch, so they're probably gonna cut most of it out in there too.

I missed Harry learning to fight the Imperius curse - I thought it was important for the scene in the graveyard to demonstrate that Harry does have strong powers. I also missed the 'livid fear' in Voldemort's eyes as his past victims prowl round him, hissing things to him. Finally, I would have liked to see that Harry was not believed by the majority about Voldemort's return - I would have happily sat there for another ten minutes to see that portrayed, but then I would have happily sat there for another two hours to see all the above and more added in!

Wahey - finally made 100 posts, it's only taken me 806 days to do it lol :p

I've decided I absolutely don't want them to stick to the books line-for-line, action-for-action. Yes, they should stick, but some originality is wonderful for us HP fans that reread books thousands of times and already know the lines by heart.It depends on the lines. Sometimes they improve it. For example:

The ferret scene, when McGongall says "Teaching..is that a student!"

In the book, Moody answers "Yep"

In the movie, Moody answers "Technically, it's a ferret". Much better!

So the movie improved. There are just some lines in the books that are hilarious and so drole, that I want those to stay in the movie.

I missed the Sphinx in the Third Task. It just felt that the maze Task was to short. Also, not have the House Elves in the plot-line was slightly disapointing. Since, Dooby was suppose to bring Harry the Gillyweed after over hearing Mad-Eye talking to Professor McGonagall. Though on a whole I thought it was the best one yet, and they did a good job trying to stick with the book.
Bravo.

Winky and Dobby, The dursleys!!<---That was my favorite scene in the book!! The quidditch scene was too short for me, I wanted to see more. CONSTANT VIGELANCE, i wanted to see sirius more, they didnt show Rita Skeeter as an animagus. And the hospital wing scene at the end, so sad.

They definitely should have kept the Parting of the Ways; it sets up the whole fifth story.

I missed the parts where Harry sees Barty Crouch on the map, and when Mr. Crouch shows up in the forest acting crazy. Those were both very important clues regarding Crouch Jr, but then they dropped enough other hints that it didn't really matter.

Yeah I agree with you. Also, I dont remember Barty Crouch Jr. being in Harry's dream in the book, does anyone else?

I really missed it when Harry was struggleing to fight off the Imperious curse from (imposter)Mooody...it showed that Harry had a lot of strength and altough he didnt exactly fight it off perfectly he did a good job...which might come in play in 7 but i would have liked to see that scene the most.

I missed alot of things. :sad: Although the movie was brilliant, i was alittle dissapointed that they cut so many scenes and just made up new ones that don`t actually happen in the book :upset:

i missed the bit when mrs weasley send ron a letter with about a million staps in it. when i read that in the book it cracked me up, i burst out laughing with much amusement from people in the room. x

I miss the scene where Harry gets trapped in the stair and Snape almost catches him. That would have been priceless!

Yeah I agree with you. Also, I dont remember Barty Crouch Jr. being in Harry's dream in the book, does anyone else?


They oughtn't to remember it, because it didn't happen.

Mostly, I missed Dumbledore, Snape, Voldemort, pretty much any character that wasn't true to the book. I think the cuts could be worth it if I could've just seen JKR's characters fully (or even remotely accurately) realized on screen. Fiennes and Gambon are both okay actors, but neither took portraying their role very seriously. Thus, the characters of two of the most important people in the novels have been grossly misrepresented. As for Alan Rickman, I believe his inconsistent (with the last three movies) performance was a directing problem. Newell was so intent on recreating the feel of British boarding schools fifty years ago, that he severely detracted from Snape's complex character.

Basically, I would tolerate pretty much any cut if the story were being performed by the characters that I have come to know and love (or hate).

I missed the ending of the movie. Where did it go? Barty didn't kiss the dementor. Isn't that an integral plot point? The entire Wizarding world doesn't believe in Harry in the next book because Barty didn't live to give evidence of Voldemort's return and, to a less important extent, evidence that Wormtail is still alive.

I missed Dobby (could have had him without Winky); I missed Dumbledore explaining about the "brother" wands causing the priori incantatum; I missed Percy with Crouch calling him Weatherby; I missed Harry walking out into the middle of the first task arena, raising his wand, saying Accio Firebolt and waiting for the broom to arrive (I thought the Accio firebolt was done very poorly in the film); and I missed Harry receiving his 1000 Galleons prize money--how will Fred and George start their joke shop?

Alot of things...

The Dursleys part at the beggining,that would've been really funny
The quidditch world cup
Winky, Dobby and that SPEW(?) part
etc.

i missed the pajama party on the stair but i didn't expect them to include that. i'm mored anoyed at the parting of ways with DD calling back the OotP and sending Snape back to LV. but i'll live.

The hospital scene, Sirius in the cave, and a five-second explanation of Priori Incantatum. They could have cut the dance lessons and Rita Skeeter for all that. But...ah well.

I have not read through this thread. However, there are things I would have liked to have seen in the Goblet of Fire movie. I wish Molly and Bill would have been there for Harry as Cedric's father was. Also, Harry giving his Triwizard winnings to Fred and George. I would have liked to have seen a little of the World Cup played. Also, Sirius could have made an appearance other than in the fire.

I would have liked to see the hospital scene at the end as it sets book 5 up so much.

I would have absolutely loved to have seen the Weasley's invading the Dursley's... that would have been hilarious. I also would have liked to have seen a more fleshed-out ending...with Harry giving Fred and George his TriWizard Winnings. I would have liked to have seen the hospital scene too, but oh well. It was still a fantastic movie in my opinion.

I would have liked to see the Dursleys at the beginning, I've missed them a lot. And of course the quidditch final, the few scenes in the movie just weren't enough. But what I've really missed was the end in the hospital wing, the discussion with Dumbledore and Fudge, and Harry giving the money to Fred and George.

Ah, where to start. As a true Harry Potter fan, I enjoyed being able to see Harry on the big screen. Unfortunately, the movie I saw, while it bore some resemblance to the book I love, was rather disappointing. In fact, one could compare the movie to the vapor "echoes" of LV's victims...it bore the appearence of the person, but it lacked substance.

Specifics: Rita Skeeter -- she is there, but adds nothing -- we barely get a glimpse of the havoc she wreaks, and nothing about what happens to her after the first task.

Barty Crouch Jr. -- The modification to the text to save screen time was very ill concieved.

Sirius -- um, a face in the fire was nice, but nothing else on Sirius apart from that?

Fudge -- No argument at the end? You think that they could have at least spared five minutes to to that, as it sets up the whole next book/movie.

Hagrid/Maxime -- only a passing reference to the giant thing, and not even clear at that.

Bill -- Was he there? Must have missed it when I yawned.

I could go on and on, but I'll pass. I think, from here on out, I'll stick with the books and the excellent Potter fan art that often graces these boards.

i missed the scene where the weasleys come and get harry at the dursley. that part in the book was so funny and would have been cool to see in a movie.

i also missed the quiddich cup, that was importent or at least would have been entertaining if they showed it.

All in all, I thought the movie was great! Of course things had to be cut. However, a few key points were lacking:

- Barty Crouch, Jr. couldn't testify because he received the dementor's kiss.
- Someone pointed this one out already: How will Fred and George fund their experiments for the joke shop without Harry's prize money?
- Snape's mission
- Fudge's refusal to believe LV is back

I also really wanted to see Angelina and Fred's crazy dancing! Even so, I thought the movie was spectacular.

I missed SIrius. I think they really should have built on his relationship witn Harry more in this movie. I also missed Weasley's Wizard Weezes, and Harry giving the twins his Tri-wizard winnings, but I can understand why they cut that.

One scene that I thought should have been in the movie was Ron suggesting to Ginny that she go to the Yule Ball with Harry. Like in the book, Ginny would say she can't because she agreed to go with Neville. They could then have showed looks of disappointment on the faces of both Harry and Ginny. This would foreshadow HBP when they actually do get together.

The World Cup!! I mean they set this whole big thing up with the stadium and THEY CUT IT OUT!!! Also I wish Winky and Dobby had been in it so it could set up for OotP sceens

I really missed the Tongue-Ton Toffee scene. As said above, I would have liked to have scene more Quidditch! And the creatures in the maze, that was one of my favorite parts. So sad :( :upset:

This would foreshadow HBP when they actually do get together.
Very true, that would have been a nice touch.

Let's see:
-The whole Barty Crouch Sr/Jr story. That was definitely too choppy and confusing...i've read the book at least 3 times, and I was a bit confused!

-Harry resisting the Imperius Curse...particularly against Voldemort.

-Parting of the ways! It would've added SO much to the story.

I feel like the end didn't really show you how torn up Harry was. I mean, how much pain this all caused him. I think the hug with Mrs. Weasly would've been great!

What I missed the most was the foreboding feeling from reading the book. It was so fast paced, you didn't get to feel the malevolence building throughout the school year (or a passage of time at all for that matter).

There definately needed to be more Sirius in the movie! The fourth book really developed their relationship as almost father and son, without that, he death won't be nearly as devestating. And if Sirius has to die at all, it better bea touching moment.

The part I missed most was when Hermione trapped Rita in beetle form in the glass jar. I always think that's funny everytime I read it, so I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't in the movie.

Snape's dark mark reveal. Really not enough Snape in the movie.

I really miss The House-Elf Liberation Front, with Hermione and the reappearance of Dobby. I miss Dobby!!! Oh, and Winky at the Quidditch World Cup. They missed the best parts!!

I missed everything! lets see:
1. the full dream of lV w/ wormtail
2. the Qudditch cup
3. Dursleys
4. Sirius
5. the calm DD
6. house elves
7.explanation of Mad eye/barty crouch jr
8. Barty crouch going crazy
9. Sirius coming back and everyone being shocked (touching)
10. a longer storyline for LV returning and giving his speech

there's so much more and i understand that they had a time limit but the stuff that they kept in there was not neededand the stuff that was ,was cut out.

Here's a top five of the things i missed:
1) Sirius. I mean he appears but two minutes in the fire was just not enough or even fair to the character. We love Sirius because he's always there for Harry, but in the movie he was like any other character.
2) Dobby and Winky:They represent a magic world by themselves and they are also an opportunity for us to see that Hermione is not only interested in books but also in social causes.
3) Quiddich cup: I wanted to see Krum flying and also i wanted to see the way Harry flies to get the egg because, according to my reading experience, he uses the same "move" that Krum did at the final match of the cup. There's no mention at all of Oliver playing professionally for a quiddich team, the quiddich cup also included the twins doing bets and the fake money and the veelas; to me it was really important.
4) Rita S. She's annoying, she's a lier, she's a beetle... do I need a bigger explanation?
5)Severus being a deatheater. He is not a good person and in this movie he seems to be nice and calm, he's got a scar that let Harry, Ron and Hermione know they MUST be truly carefull about him.
PLUS: the marauders map (did I spell it right?).

Ton Tounge Toffees. :p

this movie was HORRIBLE. I have never been so upset from watching a book inspired movie in my life. The intro was horrible. Actually showing Crouch Jr. make the dark mark was horrific. Making the world cup last a total of 7 min. was mind boggling. The introduction of the 2 different wizard schools, although humorous, was a complete waste of time that they could have used for more plot development. Nevil telling Potter about the gilweed, the entire maze scene, the dragon event (do you remember him flying all over the castle...i sure don't),...the list goes on and on. I felt like walking out of the theater after 20 minutes. The only decent scene in the movie was the final resurrection of Voldemort, and even that was rushed. I would rather the movies be less "artistic" and more relevant to the book like CoS and SS.

That's my 2 cents (well actually 50)

WHERE WERE THE HOUSE ELVES??!!!!!

the one and only part that disappointed me, and it really did disappoint me was that there was non of the actual quidditch match. i was really looking forward to seeing it, even if it was just a couple of minutes or so of it. when fudge was doing his talk and fired the magical-game-starting-ball-thingy (what ever it was) i was well excited thinking, 'yes this bits going to be brilliant', and then.... nothing :(

but the film was still awesome so my disappointment hasnt put me off

I was really looking forward to 'Constant Vigilence!' and I was a little disappointed that the parting of the ways was omitted. Never mind...

Quidditch....That could have been the best part in the movie, but for some reason they cut it. Also the spinx should have been put in.

I was disappointed with how little they showed of the courtroom scene in the Pensieve. I wanted to see Bellatrix declaring her allegiance to the Dark Lord. I thought that was great in the book!

And the World Cup definitely! I'm a huge Quidditch fan and i really wanted to see that!

And i liked the part when Krum was asking Harry what was going on between him and Hermione, just before they found Crouch's body!

I'd have to say that I missed seeing the Dursley's bicker at Harry, but of course they had to make more time for the more important things and I completely understand that. I also would have liked to see some of the World Cup, because that scene could have been absolutley amazing But again, time is a factor and I glad they cut it.

I missed seeing SIRIUS!!! I really agree with that conversation they started on MuggleCast about how the directors of OotP are really going to have to establish Siriu's role more. How will the movie audience take his death if they barely know him as a character? By saying the 'movie audience' I'm referring to those people who don't read the books. Now that I'm slightly rambling I want to add in that when I went to see GoF with my best friend, who doesn't read the books, she was completely lost and asked an infinite amount of questions...I think in the future the directors should put more effort into making the plot line more indepth so that non-readers can understand it better.

Most of the obstacles in the maze. How on earth are man-eating bushes more challenging than dragons?

Erm...

Although I thoroughly enjoyed watching GoF and I feel that it's been the best HP movie yet, I also feel that it's the one they changed the most.

Good Changes:
I did like scenes with Fred and George, it was funny and true to their character.
Voldemort looked really good (although I think he would've been scarier, appearance-wise, if they gave him red eyes like in the book.) I didn't mind that they had Neville give Harry the gillyweed (it was what imposter Moody had intended from the beginning anyway) and I also didn't mind that they left out the house elves altogether. Because frankly, I couldn't imagine how annoying Winky would be on film.

Bad Changes:
Again, the directors and writers relied on the fact that every person seeing the film has read the books. In fact, there were quite a few scenes where I'm sure non HP readers were quite confused and lost. I didn't like the fact that they showed you Barty Croiuch Jr. right off the bat. It left all the mystery out of the story. There was very little character development for any of the characters other than Harry. They left the whole Rita is an unregistered animagus out of the plot (which I thought was important because it shows that it's not just Death Eaters that abuse their power/magic). And the one thing that I really didn't like was that there was nothing about Fred and George's joke shop in the film OR the fact that Harry gave them his triwizard winnings! Not cool! There joke shop, although, it isn't a big part of the plot is something that has followed through the folloing books after GoF. They focused on the scnen with the dragon too much when they could've worked on other parts of the story instead like the maze for example which wasn't nearly as interesting as in the book because there weren't any creatures in it!

Definitely the Parting of the Ways. Though I'm sure they'll find some way around it and set up the next movie properly, I think it was a really important scene to foreshadow what's coming next.

I actually really wanted to see the quidditch game, the whole rita seeker scandal, they didn't show the Crouch story well enough, and the magical creatures.

Great sig i_heart_dobby!!

I also missed the quidditch match & definately missed Sirius. Although I would have loved to see the Rita-Skeeter-as-a-bug storyline, I think that would have confused non-readers even more!! Maybe Hermione convinces her to write the story another way??

What I really missed though was something really little : ARCHIE at the Quidditch World Cup!!! I don't mean that they should have included the whole scene but if they had a guy in a long flowered nightdress walking through the crowd at the campsite it would have been SO funny & those who read the books would understand!! :rotfl:

The parting of the ways sequence and the whole Rita Skeeter Animagus thing, I think that is important because it sets up Harry's interview and the importance of having met Luna. So some of the next movies are not going to be as clear to people who havent read the books.

I think they'll leave out Hermione blackmailing Rita Skeeter and just have another reporter interview Harry. The reporter isn't as important as the fact that Harry actually gets his story out there. They might just have Luna get a journalist from the Quibbler to do the job.

if they had a guy in a long flowered nightdress walking through the crowd at the campsite it would have been SO funny & those who read the books would understand!! :rotfl:

:tu: :tu:

Most of the obstacles in the maze. How on earth are man-eating bushes more challenging than dragons?

Erm...

Dragons in the maze? Don't think so! Blast-ended skrewts, giant spiders, freaky spells, but no dragons.

The ton tounge taffy! :p

The ton tounge taffy! :p

Oh yeaaaaaaaaaa...I'd forgotten about that. That was absolutley hilarious. But you know, with all those time contraints and so on there would have been no way in fitting it in. But I think they would have to show some of their inventions in the next movie, unless they plan on just throwing out the whole Joke Shop business which would be horrible because that's my favorite part of Ootp. Just finding out about all the diffrerent things that they came up with, and then testing them on first years. Just priceless.

I know this might sound weird but I really wanted to see the next house elf.

The ton tounge taffy! :p

That too. oh oh!! And when Hermione Kisses Harry!

Just saw the movie for the second time:

*It reinforces that I do not like the new Dumbledore - he does not stay, IMHO, close enough in personality to the Dumbledore in the books, the first guy was perfect. I wouldn't mind a swithch to the guy from LOTRs.

*Way too many liberities with the book - Ron saw the dragons, Dobby, etc. Stick to the text!

*I do like Bonnie as Ginny.

*Fred and George were better in this movie, despite the writes deviating from the book.

Way too many liberities with the book - Ron saw the dragons, Dobby, etc. Stick to the text!
.

But they are not filming the book - they are filming the story. The difference is fundamental.

This is what the text literalists cannot or will not understand - hence their distress, anger and all the rest of it.

the whole Quidditch world cup and even Hogwarts Quidditch, the World Cup looked amazing! but no...it blanks into a scene of them in a tent!!!

Definitely did not miss S.P.E.W.!!!! That was something I was praying they would leave out.....


I think I would have liked to seen the Hogwarts kitchen and all those house elves pushing food on Ron and Harry -

I missed the Dursley's, Dobby, and Winky. The Dursley's are the ones who like really complete the movie and balance it out, and it was supposed to be dobby who gives harry the gillyweed not Nevile. I also wanted to see what winky look like.

I was dissappointed that thye cut out Dobby and winky and that they didn't include Bill and Mrs. Weasley coming to visit Harry before the first task.

The more I think about it, the more I see the hospital scene serving the end of the movie much better than Dumbledore's eulogy to Cedric. They could have easily replaced one with the other. I think I can see why one was cut, though; they both serve as bookends to the story. To have both scenes would have been a fit-and-start to end the movie with.

I missed Archie in his little flowered nightgown at the Quidditch World Cup. I love that part because its so funny.

But they are not filming the book - they are filming the story. The difference is fundamental.

This is what the text literalists cannot or will not understand - hence their distress, anger and all the rest of it.

But the book tells the story! so they have to pay attention to it, I understand it won't be exactly the same thing, but this time they really missed a lot.

I loved the movie. The only thing that i didnt like about it was that it was ALL focusewd on the tournment i think that the part when the Weasleys come into the fireplace i wish that was in there, I wish that the Dark Mark part was done correctley, i wish that there were more classes like in the book, and most of all i wish that the house elves were in the movie. even though it was my favorite movie yet!

I would say i missed the Q. world cup. but i really missed the foreboding tone at the end of the 4th book. at the end of the movie you don’t get the impression that the wizarding world is at odds or there is a "parting of the ways". Nor do you get the severity of Voldy coming back and the measures Dumby goes to, to bring the old gang back together. over all though i think they did a good job picking and choosing what goes in the movie and i understand why they made the changes they made.

When I first came out of the movie I thought it was the greatest movie ever. Then I started thinking about it and all the information they were missing I was a little disappointed. I still think its a great movie, however, they should have done this one in two movies. They should have put much more of the world cup in there and explained that a little more for people that have not read the books. Also should have kept the elves and had a lot more interaction with Sirius. That is one big thing that I really think they dropped the ball on. Sirius is a main character in book 5 and in the 4th book you really start seeing the relationship between Sirius and Harry start to grow and it makes the OOTP much more emotional. Also, I definately think they should have shown the hospital scene as well to show how the ministry feels about Harry's claim that Voldemort is back.

Also, for several of my friends that saw the movie but have not read the books, a lot of the missing information left them confused and with a feeling of something missing or unexplained.

the house elves...

I wanted to see Bill and Charlie! And the house elves. And Bagman. And PADMA as a RAVENCLAW!!!

I missed Barty mumbling. and i missed the extra Barty Jr. telling the truth.

I would really have wanted to see more scenes with Snape. I wish they had cut unnecessary characters like Rita Skeeter and Moaning Myrtle, and focused on the more important characters, like Snape. But that’s about the only thing that bothered me, the rest of the changes were fine.

The Dursley's scene and the House Elves! But I really wanted the Dursley's to be in this movie! I also wanted to see Dudley's tongue swell up like the size of Texas!

The Dursley's, the house elfs in the kitchen and Ludo Bagman!!

The whole point of Rita Skeeter even being in the movie. She plays a big part towards how Harry finally gets his version out in OotP but they didn't show anything about her being an animagus. She was more vicious in the book. She was just annoying in the movie.

the whole Quidditch world cup and even Hogwarts Quidditch, the World Cup looked amazing! but no...it blanks into a scene of them in a tent!!!

There was no Quidditch at Hogwarts in GoF book...

I think that some really important parts of the book were missed out. I could cope with no Ludo Bagman and SPEW because they were just subpolts, they were great subplots, but understandably left out of the movie for time reasons. However, there were some elements of the book that I thought were brilliant and really important for the whole sereis that were annoyingly neglected. First of all the parting of the ways was just completley missed out, I love the confrontation between Snape and the revealed Sirius (who should have been in it all lot more in general!), and it is key to understanding the plot of Ootp surely?! Also, it annoyed me that they missed out the bogart, the sphinx, and the acromantula in the final task, which was too short. But I was really suprised that during the graveyard scene Voldemort did not deliver the speech about the 3 missing death eaters, which looks like being a vital part of the whole series! The same goes for the gleam of triumph in Dumbledore's eye which is one of the biggest mysteries that still needs answering! How the hell could they not show that! There were other little things too that were put in for movie purposes ,like Crouch Jr. being with Voldemort at the start, which were more understandable but still annoying. And I really can not see why they went to the trouble of having Moody mention the Foe Glass and how it works and having Snape tell Harry what Veritaserum is, and then not use them at the end of the film in Moody's office, like they are in the book! Overall, the film was very very good. As a movie experienece it is great, but for the true Harry Potter experience it still has to be the books.

I missed the Quidditch World Cup and SPEW. And Rita Skeeter. They didn't show everything about her and I think she's an outstanding character in GoF

The quidditch cup
When Hermione got annoyed because Viktor went to library everyday..
After the pensieve, DD told Harry that Neville's parents are mad and now in St. MUngo
Hermione!! The totally make over Hermione... before he danced with Viktor Krum, she should look not very beautiful but at the yule ball, she look so beautiful...
The YULE BALL!! the one when Ron said Vicky
DOBBY!! dobby... I miss that creature...
and Dobby too!!
and also when snape gave moody the veritaserum which reveal barty crouch's secrets( I think that's actually the main and most important scene!!)
The Harry Potter's secret heartache article and when snape read it aloud in class and slytherins laughed..!!(that article was so funny!!)
More Rita Skeeter and how Hermione found out she could transfigurate into a bug!!
The parting ways chapter...
when harry gave the galleons to Fred and George for their shop!!(this is a much much better ending!!)

she could transfigurate into a bug!!
I mean transform into A bug!! (errgghhh.... my English grammar is so poor.. sorry about that!!)

Oh yeah,, and also they cut the scene from the chapter "the madness of mr.crouch!!"
It was when Krum asked Harry what's going on between Harry and Her-my-yonini (how is he said? I forgot!! whatever!!) and then when they found out wr.crouch got mad and said nonsense things and when Krum fainted and Crouch is gone!! the book is more mysterious than the movie!! I don't like the movie... it doesn't give any curious or mysterious feeling like when you read the book!!

I'm terribly sorry for my grammar!!

Darn it all. You people are making me start to think about going to read the books. AGAIN.

Do you know how many times I've already read them? Huh!?! DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO ME?!? AAAAHHH!

;)

The parting of the ways was vital... but I think they'll simply refer to it in the next one. "The minister chooses not to believe" or something along those lines. What about Hagrid & Madame Maxine's mission? They'd BETTER include that in the next one.

The house elves and SPEW were regrettable losses, but understandable. I'm seriously mollified by the way they worked Neville back into it and made him give Harry the Gillyweed - sheer brilliance in lieu of Dobby. "I don't know about a turnip..." "I've killed Harry Potter!!!"

I didn't notice Karkarof run off... but then he dies several weeks later anyway, so it's hardly a sticking point. Might have been nice to mention where he'd gotten off to.

How to get into the kitchens?

Bringing Sirius food in the caves?

Mrs. Weasley and Harry in the Hospital Wing?

There's so much that to have put it all in would have given us a 6 hour movie.
I, for one, wouldn't have minded a 6 hour movie. :)

I would of likedd Rita skeeters articles so that she could be turned into a beetle i love it when she gets turned into a beetle

What I missed most that they cut from the movie was Molly Weasley. I wanted to see her comforting Harry in the Hospital Wing. That moment is a sweet and sad one, and this is where Harry realizes that Molly is the person who is most closely to act like his mother. She loves him as one of her sons. She doesn't want any harm upon him but there is also nothing she can do about it. I'm still mad they didn't put her in this movie.

I loved the movie, but I wish that they'd shown more of Sirius in it. I mean, we met him in the third book, and we liked him, but we didn't really know him. In the fourth book, that's when we see how he wants to look out for Harry and all that, and when we get atached to him. Well, at least that's when I got attatched, and why the ending of OotP was so devastating to me... I hope they show more of him the next movie.

When Hermonie finds out Rita is an animagus,when Krum is telling Hermonie about visiting his place and then he see's a bug in her hair[Rita Skeeter]. from:danfanbigtime

Dooooooooobbyyyyyyy why oh why did they have to cut you

I don't like the fact that they cut the scene with Snape showing his Dark Mark to Fudge and Snape talking to Moody at night. Snape is a very relevant character and there was not much about him. It wasn't even said that he went to the Death Eaters! :evil:

The second thing that irritates me is the scene in the maze. There should have been at least: the spider and the sphinx.

i wish they hadn't cut the dursleys' part. i would love to see dudley eat the ton-tongue toffee. and also mrs. weasley i wish we'd seen her after the world cup when she hugged fred and george

Rita as an animagus, Dobby and more of the Weasleys...

All references to the twins' joke shop and Harry giving them the prize money. I have a hard time believing you could make the next two movies and not have any reference to that. How long would it have taken to include here, three or four minutes total? Plus it would have let Fred and George serve as something other than comic relief for once.

the house elves!
bill and charlie
the challenges that were in the maze (what was with that fog stuff? what kind of a replacement is that?)
"herm-own-ninny" - they could have thrown that in, it would only have taken a second!
dumbledore (i don't know who micheal gambon was supposed to be)
the dursleys
bagman and "weatherby"
the fight with fudge at the end of the book!!!!!!
"and one who i believe has left me forever" speech
the other two trials from the pensieve (or at least the one with the lestranges)/finding out about neville's parents.
"CONSTANT VIGILANCE!"
the whole rita skeeter animagus thing
sirius - it seems like he should've been in the film more if only to make his death all the more sad in movie 5. but i guess they aren't thinking that far ahead.
and i could have done with a tad bit more ferret bouncing.
and the skrewts. i can certainly see how they weren't important enough to make the film but i would've liked to have seen one blasting across the grounds or something.

I wanted to see the part of Ron and Harry's fight where Harry throws something (I forget what) and it hit Ron in the head and Harry said something like, "Now you can have a scar too! That's what you've wanted all along!" I don't know why I wanted to see that, but I did. I also wished they would have made the maze a little more challenging. And I wish they would have played up Rita Skeeter some more too.

and also when snape gave moody the veritaserum which reveal barty crouch's secrets( I think that's actually the main and most important scene!!)
Well, that pretty much was in the movie, just not to the fullest extent. Like how he escaped from Azkaban, etc.

I really missed Mrs. Weasley! I love the movie adaptation of her. She's exactly like how I imagined her. Also I missed the house elves, they were quite central to the plot, or at least Winky was, but the movie crew worked their way marvelously around it. I know my friend was upset that SPEW wasn't included, but I really wasn't disappointed. It's not too important to the major outline of the book, and I would much rather of had the great clips of the Triwizard Tournament, rather than having to shove SPEW in and cut the tasks short. I missed the Dursley's too, but I can live without them.

Hmmmm...let's see...I missed the Weasleys bursting in on the Dursleys in the beginning and I also missed the Ton-Tongue Toffee. Oh, and I missed Dobby and Winky and S.P.E.W. They should have left all that stuff in :upset:

Some of this stuff everyone misses I didn't even recall from the book but now that I'm reading this, I really do miss it! I wanted to see the beetle thing, for one.

They should have left all that stuff in
Unfortunately time limitations prevented that.
I wanted to see the beetle thing, for one.
I wanted to see it too, but I think that the screenwriters will be able to get around the problem of her being taken out of imprisonment, to write the Quibbler Article. They could make it so she just comes and writes it with strong Hermione supervision.

Also, another thing I forgot to mention. The Veela! It would have been funny to see the boys reactions. Although we did get to see the boys responding to the girls of Beauxbatons, which was equally funny.

Mrs Weasley! And Sirius. "Constant vigilance" was nice too.

I really would have like a proper explaination about Priori Incantatum, and how important it is that Harry and Voldemorts wands share cores, and also the parting of the ways scene. That bit is so important for setting up for the next movie, I just can't see how they can fit everything into the fifth movie; it would be ideal having that now so they didn't have to explain it later.

I missed soooooo many things... Most of which you've already said, but in general, I missed depth in the scenes, I mean, not just showing things o naming them, but actually putting them in the plot, giving them the importance they have. Somehow this movie seemed like something was missing, in the others, you knew something was missing cause you've read the books, but the movie was a whole in itself. For example, in Prisoner of Azkaban, you knew that James, Sirius, Lupin and Wormtail created the Marauder's map, but the movie never said. Having read the book, that part was missing, but if you hadn't, you didn't feel you needed an explanation. On the contrary, the part about the priori incantatem was not fully understood by those who didn't read the books, as were so many other things. So, what I missed the most from the books, was the consistency of the story.

I missed more of an explanation about the Priori Incatatem from Dumbledore to Harry. I think there could of been more depth about that, more about Harry's ordeal, and about Fudge's attitude towards it. (even though they were extremly pressed for time.)

I also missed Sirius. Considering his fate in the fifth book, i would of thought that his movie would of embodied him more than just the fire scene. I wished they would of shown more of a relationship between Harry and Sirius, showing a new bond of relations and guidance, and portraying Sirius' role as a fatherfigure to Harry.

What I remember they don't even mention Ludo Bagman, And you only see him in the begining of the quidditch match, And I also miss the whole quidditch final.

I realize the time constraint, but I missed Winky the most. It would have been nice if they'd stuck to the real story of what happened with Barty Jr. instead of making something up. Did anyone else notice that Harry saw Barty Sr.'s dead body but it was never mentioned again?

i wish they hadn't cut the dursleys' part. i would love to see dudley eat the ton-tongue toffee.

Absolutely!

I didn't really want to see this scene until I went and saw the movie, but the Quidditch Cup was made so interesting, that now I wish they had shown a little of it.
And I wish Mrs. Weasley was in the film, just to comfort Harry a little - But I guess Hermione was suppose to feel that role. And speaking of Hermione, I wish "Herm-own-ninny" had made it in...in fact, how many lines did Krum say anyway? I'm glad people like Fred and George got more lines, but I didn't think they'd have more than the champions. Krum and Fleur seemed so.. one dimensional.

What I missed most that they cut from the movie was Molly Weasley. I wanted to see her comforting Harry in the Hospital Wing. That moment is a sweet and sad one, and this is where Harry realizes that Molly is the person who is most closely to act like his mother. She loves him as one of her sons. She doesn't want any harm upon him but there is also nothing she can do about it. I'm still mad they didn't put her in this movie.

That was one of my favourite parts as well. I don't care how tough someone claims to be. At 14 seeing the kinds of things Harry just saw would be extremely traumatic on anyone, and in the movie, it almost seems that although he was phased, he didn't have much of a reaction.

In the book he was so much more deeply affected by what happened, and this tender moment shows just how human Harry is and how much he needs the help of those close to him.

I'm glad people like Fred and George got more lines, but I didn't think they'd have more than the champions. Krum and Fleur seemed so.. one dimensional.
I think they were doing their best to make Krum look stupid and Fleur look smart. I really like what they did with Fleur, but not with Krum. We actually get quite involved with Krum in the book because of his relationship with Igor Karkaroff and with Harry, and Hermione likes him enough that she becomes friends with him. She doesn't say he's non-conversational, she says he's really nice and doesn't like his school.

I hated that they cut out the scene where Harry is out on the walk with Krum and Crouch comes up to them. And they weren't supposed to find Crouch's body, were they? I didn't like that they cut out the scene with the Lestranges' trial either. And they didn't give enough time in between when the students arrived to Hogwarts and when the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students arrived. It just wasn't right...

I really really really wish they had the part after the final task where Sirius comes and consoles Harry and then Barty Crouch Jr gets the dementor's kiss and essentially "gets away"...I think those parts are so vital to the story and extremely important to Harry and Sirius' relationship. They also need to make it clear that Barty Crouch Jr. gets away...that would also make a great cliffhanger for the next movie for those who did not read the books. I also wish they had put something in about Barty Crouch Jr.'s past so it doesn't look like he just randomly is a death eater and randomly pretends to be Mad Eye Moody...I don't know I just think the movie was made to be more confusing than the story actually is....I liked the movie overall, but the more I think about it, the more I realize they left out a ton of important stuff...

No, they never find Crouch's body. Barty Jr. transfigures it into a dog bone. We don't find out what happened until Barty Jr. is questioned by Dumbledore.

It severely irked me when they didn't have a box for the quidditch world cup, although it cleverly ommitted having to cast several characters, the taunting from Lucius seemed degrading.

Also the portrayl of the schools as both single sex, I guess that would've intruded on their little dance numbers (which were a little cheesy).

Madame Maxine was done wrong.

I really wanted to see Ginny ditch Neville halfway through the Yule Ball for Michael Corner. I always thought that would be fun because it's not in the movie but it's something we know happens. Alas, Ginny stayed with Neville the whole night and into the morning, apparently.

yeah, i missed how the book didn't suck too.

A longer Quidditch game, it was very annoying to have it cut off so suddenly, just when it was starting to get interesting for viewers. Also, a better third task, all I saw was killer bushes, and a longer ending, having the Weasley's come to watch Harry in the 3rd task, the hospital scene, the ministry not believing Harry, Barty Jr explaining how he escaped the prison, killed his father, took down Moody (for those that didn't read the book).

I missed:
- The Weasley's getting stuck in the fireplace & the Ton-Tongue Toffee (I could just see it perfectly in my mind: Dudley standing there with is mouth open & aunt Petunia trying to pull the tongue)

- Rita Skeeter is an Animagus plotline (It would have been cool to see her in a jar on the Hogwarts Express)

- SPEW (I was watching CoS the other day, when Dobby keeps getting hit by Mr. Malfoy as they leave Dumbledore's office, and I started so see Hermione's point)

- Molly acting like a mum to Harry (I think I would have cried at that point)

And loads more!! They should just take the book as the script ... I don't mind a 6 hour movie :p

Hey,

I agree with most the hospital scene at the end should have been included. I honestly don't comprehend why they couldn't have extended the film, especially in a day when you have features like LOTR running for as long as they did. Perhaps they'll include some stuff on the DVD?

I missed Winky!!
Constant Vigilance.
Parting of Ways.

And yes, I missed Dumbledore. Who was that guy with the long white beard??

everything!!! where was winky?? where was bagman?? where were the dursleys?? where was spew?? and where was the ending?? and my favourite chapter?? (the one where harry gets caught on the stairs after taking a bath in the prefects common room) why were all the bauxbatons veelas?? (that really annoys me)
nevermind...... still loved the film!!

ummm.. WINKY!!!! what else? ummm.. SPEW!!!!

Well I was looking forward to the quidditch world cup and seeing Bill and Charlie. I also think they should have put in the part about Fleur being veela. And what was with Padma walking around the Gryffindor common room? She's in Ravenclaw!! I was also looking forward to seeing Winky and spew.

it would have been fun to see all of the rita skitta stuff, and the twins trying to get their money back from ludo. i was dissapointed that harry didn't give them his winnings. I guess some stuff has to be cut to make it into a reasonable length but i personally missed that stuff..... thats not even getting into cutting out any explaination of harry/voldermorts wands.

...or setting up order of the pheonix. ie parting of the ways

the quidditch world cup! :upset: winky, SPEW, harry, hermione, and ron being in the woods and then people from the ministry coming(after the DE attack and the dark mark), and the REAL DE attack. they didnt set the place on fire! :td: they contorted muggles! and i could go on and on and on but i think ill stop here. OH! and the end of term feast! :huh:

I'd like to see Snape and Sirius shaking hands... It would be exciting!!!

And also when Harry gives the prize to the twins.

I wish they had put the scene where the Weasleys picked up harry from the Durdsleys...It would have been so funny seeing Fred and George come out of the fireplace...and see them play a trick on Dudley....I also would like to see Bill and Charlie in the movies.

I wish they had included Mrs.Weasley in the movie, and the whole hospital scene, it was one of my favourites in the books. It's so sad and sweet at the same time- Molly comforting him and all..

The scences with Sirius and Mrs Weasley, they are great moments in the books, however I can see why they were cut, not that vital to the plot. But would have loved to see Sirius as dog again and Snape and he confronting each other at the end of the book.

The end part when Voldemort was telling Harry and the other death eaters how he got Harry there, and the Quidditch Cup, also I wanted to see Charlie, Bill and Mrs Weasley.

Snapes' death mark, and Sirius and Snape shaking hands.
I would also like to see Fudge tell them Barty jr had gotten the kiss and hisreaction to Voldemorts return.

And I missed Charlie and Bill..

the house elves and the dursley scene

Sirius in GOF, but they had to. He's one of my favourite characters, but sacrificing certain things for a better movie are usually worth it.

the house-elves of course, they show how some of the wizard community treat the other, and how they feel they are superior to the other creatures, which I think will be really important in the last book

Dobby in GoF. He is so pathetic that he's cute.

- I was very annoyed how they got us all hyped up about the Quidditch World cup and then it goes straight to them back at camp celebrating. I was like, "WHAT?!!" I wanted to throw popcorn at the screen (and apparently, so did the rest of the HP fans in the theater).

- I was actually hoping to see the Hogwarts kitchen in GoF as well, but that would have meant including the SPEW storyline (which I'm glad they cut out).

I wanted to see Winky (she's a cool drunken house elf!) and SPEW
I also wanted to see the Weasleys get stuck in the fireplace and the trick they played on Dudley!
And they didn't show Harry giving Fred and George the prize money for their joke shop! That's an important part!!
Oh I wanted to see the muggles in the air being controlled by the Death Eaters!
Actually, in one of the movie posters it did show them, but not the movie!

I think they should've shown the Weasley's picking Harry up at the Dursley's, that's a very funny scene. The hospital scen at the end is very touching, as well as the prize money. I'm curious to see how they're going to work that in the next movies...where does there money come from then?

In the GOF movie:

1. The Weasleys coming into Privet Drive through the fireplace.
2. Ton-Tongue Toffee
3. The expanded version of the Quidditch World Cup.
4. How nice DD really was to Harry after he got over the initial shock that he was picked as a champion.
5. Bill and Charlie.


In the POA movie:
1. The explanation of the real Mauraders
2. When Sirius kept hitting Snape's head after coming out of the Shreiking Shack.
3. When Harry got the Birthday cards.
4. Other stuff I can't remember.

Those are the two movies that stick out for me right now. If the original question is about GOF, then you got my answer anyway. :lol: I just wanted to put the POA movie in there cuz it bothered me that these things weren't there.

I really missed seeing all of the Weasleys at home together. I would have loved to have seen Bill and Charlie with the enchanted picnic tables.

I really missed Bill, Charlie, and Mrs. Weasley in GoF. It would of been great to see all the Weasleys.

I am a sports maniac. So if GoF movie I missed the Quidditch World Cup most of all . They should have shown atleast a few seconds worth of Quidditch .

I wish they had included Mrs.Weasley in the movie, and the whole hospital scene, it was one of my favourites in the books. It's so sad and sweet at the same time- Molly comforting him and all..

I agree, I expected this scene to have me crying buckets!:upset: It might not have been essential to the plot, but there was too much love going on in that particular moment that it was almost sacred.

I also despised the fact that they gave the "If you want to kill Harry, then you'll have to kill us too!" line to Hermione. They didn't exactly cut it, but I'd rather have them do so than let them commit such a huge mistake.

The Forest at the world cup and the dursleys scene

Peeves! I know, he wasn't 100% vital to the plot, and the movies work without him, but...still! I also wish Bill, Charlie, and more of Sirius had appeared in GoF but I understand that they had to edit a lot, otherwise we would've been sitting in the theater for a while.

you know, one of my favorite things was all the creatures in the 3rd Task.Mike Newell, I'd like a few words.*cracks knuckles*:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

I miss the sphinx in the maze. I was really mad when Harry and Cedric came to the cup, and I was like,
'ok, wheres the dementor? wheres the sphinx? where are the spiders that they have to battle? where are the blast ended skewerts that cedric gets burnt by?? hello?!'

I was hoping to see Hagrid's Blast-Ended Skrewts. It was a little difficult to picture them from the books. I kept changing their appearance in my mind. Pretty much all the rest of the creatures in the maze also.

Um... Probaly, Winky (yes, I know), the spinx, or the boggarts in the maze. I was so dissapointed because of that.

All the obstacles in the maze. In the film it was just a bunch of leafy corridors.

Pretty much everything that was cut in GoF.

Hermonie and her SPEW stuff , house elves mostally winkey.

I wanted to see the Death Eaters actually playing with the Muggles hanging by their feet at the Quidditch World Cup.

In GOF, I wish they would have shown the scene in the common room after Ron asks Fleur to the ball. It should have been just Ron, Hermione, Harry and Ginny. The scene in the book shows how badly Ginny wanted to go with Harry. The movie going audience would have no clue she had a crush on Harry. I also liked how Parvati was shocked that Ron and Hermione weren't going together. That scene was so much better in the book.

Also, after the second task, I wished they would have shown Hermione mad after Fleur kisses Ron. Throughout the book, she's jealous of Fleur and mad anytime Ron stares at her. The movie didn't hint to this at all. It just showed Ron being jealous but it's just as much the other way around.

in PoA i really miss the Quidditch match with Ravenclaw, and in GoF i missed the whole beginning I mean really they cut out so much I just wish they had at least put in a little more then they did.

Quiddich as well. :upset: I was looking forward to seeing most of the matches played out on the big screen. So far, the movies have been lacking here, save for the match in CoS with the rogue bludger. Especially the Quiddich World Cup. If movies are supposed to be thrilling and exciting like you people have been saying, you don't get much more exciting than the Quiddich World Cup. I groaned out loud in the theater when they skipped the whole World Cup match. I would have rather edited the dragon scene and done the cup personally.

I'd say, off the top of my head, the Rita Skeeter storyline. I know they couldn't afford to cut it, but it amused me in the books...

i think i really wanted to see when crouch told the story, and then when dumbledore told mcgonnagal to bring in a big black dog. I also really wanted to see the showdown between harry and fudge, because that sets the stage for book five.

The Parting Of The Ways. I wanted to see the whole hospital wing scene with Mrs Weasley and Harry hugging, coz that's so sad, and McGonagall and Fudge screaming at each other coz I really liked that in the book! Apart from that then probably the scene in the Dursley's with the fireplace.

I agree that I would love to have seen that in the movie

The Weasley's visiting the Dursley's and the whole fire place thing, I would have cracked up laughing seeing that. Also at the end of GOF where Sirius and Snape are forced to shake hands, that would have been a brilliantly done moment, especially with Oldman and Rickman playing the parts.

I would have also liked to have seen the Marauder's history in POA. I just think it's nice for the audience to know about it.

I'm so glad I found this thread, because I have extremely strong feelings on this. I agree with some other people that it was a big mistake to cut the scene with McGonnagall and Fudge fighting. And I don't just say that because I like the scene. I say that because that scene sets up for book 5 where Cornelius has gone against Dumbledore and the Order. It also introduces the Order, and shows Snape going off to be a spy, both of which are very important, the latter more so than the former. If they had just added in this as a 15-20 minute scene, and cut out some of the ridiculously long dragon scene, the movie would not have been that much longer.
*phew* I'm done.

I was sad to see S.P.E.W. go, and everything with Dobby and Winky. I really wanted to see that.

I totally agree...they needed this in the movie.. I dont really think S.P.E.W. is all that necessary to the plot of the following books... also some things have to be cut to keep the lenght of the movie and the cost down...

movie 3: like the whole shack scene
movie 4: the quidditch world cup, dumbledores "look of triumph", dumbledores speech about "remembering cedric diggory", sirius as the dog, and the ending and how no one believed voldemort was back and the introduction of hte order of hte phoenix. :)

there isn't any quidditch in the GoF book, it's cancelled for the Tournament.



i don't think they meant quidditch as in played by the students. there wasn't enough quidditch being played @ the worldcup. the whole beginning of the book was the world cup and the leprechauns attacking the veela, krum grabbing the snitch and ending the game, the veela making the ref act weird w/ his handlebar moustache and a whole lot of more quidditch. it wasn't meant as in the game being played @ hogwarts, b/c yes, the interhouse rivalry was canceled for multi-school and multi country rivalry....






i wonder which school won the last TWT? b/c i hope it wasn't BB, b/c it seems/seemed fleur couldn't tie her own shoes without being attacked by the laces! the only task she actually COMPLETED was the 1st one!

I missed:
Constant Vigilance!
the Quidditch World Cup in more detail
Dobby
Hermione getting jealous of Fleur
