Oooh, that one's going to be difficult to explain in a later film.  I assume
the twins are going to be in full production mode in OotP as they were in the
book.  Their inventions aren't much more than a fun diversion in OotP and will
probably be downplayed or ignored in the film, but they do become important in
HBP.  I suppose Harry could give them a startup loan/grant from his own funds,
with no need to clarify that his funds were increased by winning the
tournament, although I don't know where in the story that would occur since it
didn't happen in this film.  My guess is they'll just ignore the entrepreneur
subplot altogether and leave the twins as undeveloped comic relief.  Yet
another example of why the books are better.  The consequences of Harry giving
his winnings to the twins are too complex for these films, and we don't even
know yet where they're going to lead in the end.

It was Ludo Bagman, who I'm told is not in the film, so this makes sense (or at
least as much sense has not having Bagman in the film in the first place).
