Yes, the World Cup is included in the movie.  Early photos  show Arthur, the 
twins, Ron and Harry, Hermione and Ginny walking, on their way  to the Portkey 
spot.  Then there are the many photos of the campground, and  a mention of 
the World Cup stadium in some interview article I read a while  back.  And a 
recent interview with "Viktor Krum" has him saying he flies in  both the World 
Cup and on his team (???).  "Cedric" doesn't get to fly in  this film, I think 
(Robert Pattinson, who plays Cedric, mentioned flying and  Quidditch in his 
interview -- he and Stan what's-his-name who plays Krum were  interviewed when 
they were found together coming out of a restaurant or  something recently -- 
check Leaky for the link).  Anyway, Pattinson (sp?)  mentioned flying, but what 
he said was a bit confusing, so I'm not sure if he  actually plays Quidditch 
in the film or not -- maybe the one game they show is  Gryffindor vs. 
Hufflepuff?  Oh, wait, there was no Quidditch in Harry's  Fourth Year, was there?  
Anyway, the interviews are there (via Leaky),  which means the World Cup is there 
as well.  Check them out.  Ah,  here's the link to make it easier:

On the OoP front -- there's an article on Leaky today talking about  Harry 
doing a "James Bond-type chase scene" on a broom flying down the  Thames!  The 
location manager is having trouble getting all the 17  governmental districts 
to agree to let them film there -- they want to include  shots of all the 
"recognizable" things along the Thames.  But when would  Harry be doing a CHASE 
scene along the Thames???  He should be riding a  thestral to the Ministry's 
Visitor's Entrance with his five friends -- what's up  with this idea????  Or do 
you suppose he gets separated from his guard on  the way to Grimmauld Place the 
first time???  Ideas?
