i was wondering why the Quidditch world cup scenes were brutally vutchered from the film. It amazes me to say that they can forget about 1. why werent they in the Minister's top box?
2. what about winky?
3. What about the actual match, the veela and the leprechauns?
4. what about Barty crouch Jr. stealing Harry's wand?
5. what happened to the previous spell spell that Amos Diggory used?
6. Winky holding harry's wand?
plus loads more that i cant really remember

your opinions please

Ironically, it was reversed. In the book the Weasleys were honored in the top box with the Minister. In the movie they were seated opposite the Minister and were teased for sitting up so high. I think that was to stress the fact that the Weasley's were so poor.

2. what about winky?

I thought it was amazing they were able to pull this movie off without her.

edited out for time

4. what about Barty crouch Jr. stealing Harry's wand?

Again, that was edited out for time, I guess. Sadly.

Priori Incantatem? Because they edited out the part where Barty Crouch Jr. stole Harry's wand, they didn't need the scene where Amos Diggory uses that spell on Harry's wand. But it shows up again later during Harry's battle with with Voldie.

6. Winky holding harry's wand?

Well, she was edited out completely, as was Harry's wand being stolen.


I thought it was fascinating how they were able to take out Winky so easily from the film. On one hand I want to praise Steve Kloves, on the other hand I want to kick him in the shins.

another thing that totally miffed me off was the fact that Dobby wasn't included in the film and neither was S.P.E.W,
Spoiler:

the fact being that Ron and Hermione finally get together cause he had thought about the House-elves and not wanting "another Dobby" *sniffs for the revelation that Dobby is actually gone*

Like GinnyX said it was all to do with time constraints, but i wished they would have actually shown bits of the match.

I like this film, but it led you on like you were going to see it and most of us were excited, however all of a sudden it goes to another scene which is the weasleys tents.

Well David Haymen I think he is the producer said that they had thought about making the book in 2 movies. because it was the biggest book and to fit more in but they voted against it.
