Allisonblair:
One way to include all three scenes (Little Hangleton, the burrow, and
the Cup) would be for Harry to have the nightmare at the Burrow, the
night before they leave for the cup. IMO, Frank's encounter with
Wormtail and LV is very important, since that is how we find out that
LV has specific plans to kill Harry.

Also, the Little Hangleton dream is the first vision Harry has of
Voldemort. The visions are obviously a large part of OotP, so I would
think they would introduced in the GoF movie.
