Yes--but that all depends on how freely they interpret the plot. 
Since they're making it into one movie, alot will have to go, and 
probably be rewritten too.

Yes, and he's also the one who finds out about gillyweed and steals 
it for Harry to manage the second task in the triwiz.

Well, not exactly. He's said that he's imagines himself playing that 
Harry while reading it, but he's not said anything either way about 
doing it.

Correct. I haven't heard anything official either. However, there 
have been some blurbs in the media about how Steven Kloves has been 
approached to do the script for Harry V, but may be turning it down 
in favor for another priject. (Now THAT could be really interesting. 
Who do you think might take his place if he abandoned ship?)
