Carol responds:
I don't think they'll start with this scene. The First Task is well
into the school year--November 24 in the book, IIRC. We have to see
Mr. Crouch as his normal self at the QWC and Viktor Krum will need to
be introduced there, too--not to mention all the Dark Mark stuff and
Winky. In fact, I've seen behind-the-scenes photos of the Weasley kids
and Harry and Hermione on their way to the QWC. And Amos Diggory has
been cast, so almost certainly the boot portkey and the interrogation
of Winky will be kept.

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
