GOF thread

<< "I did read somewhere that they've cut out the Dursleys from the GoF
film altogether, meaning that we won't get to see the ton-tongue
toffee scene. But evidently the Weasley twins will be in it quite a
bit despite that cut, even if (as the script excerpt indicates)
they're given Ludo Bagman's lines! OTOH, the Yule Ball *will* be
filmed after all (Parvati and Padma Patil have been cast)--and Rita
Skeeter is definitely in (given lines that aren't in the book). And,
of course, Ralph Fiennes is going to play Voldemort (though he'll have
to be wholly unrecognizable behind snake makeup), but I don't think
Jason Isaacs will show up as Lucius Malfoy. (They'd better not cut him
from OoP, though!)

Carol, wishing they'd eliminate S.P.E.W. and keep everything else, and
hoping there's lots of Snape">>


Carol you are right there is a lot more before the scene posted at the 
pensieve.  In fact, a few weeks ago, www.mugglenet.com posted some pictures that 
fans had taken at an area where they were filming them walking to the boot 
portkey at the top of a hill on their way to the QWC, so we know this other scene 
isn't the starting point. (Don't recall who asked originally)  I recently looked 
up Jason Isaacs at www.imdb.com and they have him listed as filming GOF, so 
he should be in it.  Isn't he a part of the graveyard scene in the book?  I 
think he's mentioned at the QWC too.  Too bad about Percy being cut, but I can do 
without the Dursley's.  I don't like to see my Harry being treated so poorly 
by those awful people.  :)  OH ... and I had heard that the whole SPEW 
storyline has been eliminated from the film in the interest of cutting the movie 
time.
