Now if the line about "will just begin with him at school" is true, then that means that some 4 or 5 whole chapters of the book, including the professional Quiddich match and the whole introduction to the Death Eaters has been cut, kinda making their importance in the 5th book (and heck, at the end when Voldemort returns) pretty much a moot thing. This is probably going to be the first case where the movie seriously deviates from the book because with all the material cut, they're going to have to write quick short new scenes to introduce concepts/characters because their formal introduction scenes were cut.
*sigh*
they really should have just filmed the whole damn thing (at once) and released it in two parts or something.
Harry Potter Family Left Out of Fourth Film
Boy wizard Harry Potter's evil uncle and aunt have been cut from the fourth movie in the fantasy series. British actors Richard Griffiths and Fiona Shaw were shocked to discover scenes involving their characters Vernon and Petunia Dursley have been scrapped from the film adaptation of JK Rowling's fourth book Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire. Sleepy Hollow star Griffith explains, "Filming had already started on the fourth and Fiona and I asked the producers, 'Are we in it?' and they said, 'Oh, did no one tell you?' The problem is that the fourth book is just too long for a film, so they've done away with our bit - where Harry is at home with the Dursleys - and will just begin with him at school." The 56-year-old even begged Rowling to write a special scene for the scheming pair. He adds, "I said to JK Rowling, 'Couldn't the Dursleys turn up to an open day at Harry's school or something?' But she said, 'I don't think so.'" Griffiths, Shaw and Harry Melling - who plays the Dursleys' indulged son Dudley - have yet to find out whether they will be reappearing in the fifth movie.
