MrScratch 294 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 British tabloid ananova.com is reporting that the Dursleys are being cut from GoF! I hope this isn't true, but we all know how thick GoF is, stuff like this is bound to happen...Dursleys dropped from fourth Potter filmThe Dursleys have been dropped from the fourth Harry Potter film.Richard Griffiths and Fiona Shaw, who play Harry's Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia are said to be stunned by the news they won't be returning for The Goblet of Fire.Griffiths told the Daily Express: "Filming had already started on the fourth and Fiona and I asked the producers 'Are we in it?' and they said: 'Oh, did no one tell you?'"The problem is that the fourth book is just too long for a film, so they've done away with our bit - where Harry is at home with the Dursleys - and will just begin with him at school."Griffiths says he hopes there will be a fans' revolt. "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.'"http://www.ananova.com/entertainment/story...rtainment.films Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry B 50 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Starting the film with him at school...interesting. Hey, that would work. The movie begins with the vision in the Riddle Mansion, and Harry wakes up, but instead of waking up at home, he's in his dormitory at school...eh...yeah.There are some important plot points in the night following the Quidditch Tournament, though.
