Every Single Difference Between the Goblet of Fire Book & Movie (Harry Potter Explained)

Fanart:

"Where's the lamb sauce?"
Gordon Ramsay asked calmly

8:26: I always thought it was ridiculous that Ginny had to ask who Victor Krum was and not Hermione. Ginny lives in a household where Quidditch is huge and likes/plays Quidditch herself and so naturally know who Victor Krum is. It made a lot more sense in the book that Hermione wouldn't know.

“Also in the film, Cedric for some reason jumps out of a tree” had me dying with laughter

[typo]

I wish they kept the scenes where the Weasleys are actually acting as Harry's surrogate family.
Bill and Molly showing up to wish him luck before the third task, and Molly hugging and comforting Harry as he cries in the hospital wing after Voldemort returns never ceases to make me tear up, it's astounding that they left that part out, with as much as the series focuses on family and love, the part where Harry experiences a mother's hug and comfort for the first time they cut out. Just goes to show that the director of this film did not care about the source material.

[MultiFriedchiken]

I feel like the catchphrase for this movie adaptation should be "But there was a lot that happened between that..."

[iansunbury]

Swear Morgan constantly saying “there’s a lot that happened between these two events in the books”. Shows how much detail goes into the books that is left out.

i actually think that cedric diggory's father screaming like that in the movie is brilliant, your 1st and only son, that you loved and adored, dead right infront of you.

Also cutting Charlie and Bill Weasley in this movie was a huge mistake (to me at least).
I loved the way Bill and Mrs Weasley came to school as Harry's family, showing how much they loved and cared for him and that he had a family he can count on even if they're not related by blood.

[StormbornDragon]

i will say amos diggory’s reaction in the movie was truly heartbreaking and makes my eyes water EVERY TIME

[emilyparks]

One of the parts in the movies that bugs me pretty badly is the part where Dumbledore says "Every time I get close to an answer, it slips away! It's maddening!" The books gave the impression that he suspected/predicted most everything of what happened with Voldemort (like the horcruxes) but just sought proof of his suspicions. But the movie makes it sound like he doesn't know what he is doing and is really prone to frustration.

[theplanenerd]

Amos Diggory screaming that his son is dead is the most gut-wrenching, emotional thing I have ever heard. That and the end of Ducktales 2017 episode "The Last Crash of The Sunchaser"

[hunterkiller]

This movie boils my blood. It's my favorite book and they decide to overdo the first challenge, cutting out all the other interesting parts of the book and add in cringe worthy juvenile humor because.

[kwnnstvrr]

Book: "Did you put your name into the Goblet of Fire, Harry?", Dumbledore asked calmly.
Movie: HARRY **Pushes Minerva out of the way**
DID **ThroatPunches Severus**
YOU **Kicks Filius**
PUT YOUR NAME **Yeets the table**
INTO THE **Backhands Barty Jr. / Moody**
GOBLET OF FIYAAHH?? **Shoves Harry in the wall**
Dumbledore asked calmly.

[nicolemitchell]

I think the way Cedric’s dad reacted in the movie to finding out Cedric is dead is much more realistic and believable! Everytime I watch GOF and see him wailing over Cedric’s body it makes me cry😢. In the book it feels like his death is skimmed over.

[itsmilz]

While Voldemort was torturing Harry in the graveyard and toying with him, in the books it says how the death eaters were laughing as hard as ever but but in the movie they remained silent.

Edit: Also, in the book when Voldemort confessed himself disappointed of the Death Eaters for being gone for 13 years, he tortured one of the Death Eaters and saying he wanted 13 years of repayment after. But in the movie, he just shoves the Death Eaters’ masks off their faces.

I always say “I’m not reading Harry Potter for a few years, so I can forget everything and it can all be new to me again” but movieflame just keeps reeling me back into this world I both hate and love you for it, great vid and great series, book canon for the win

[aaronheyman]

You emphasized a real problem with the movies very well. In the books, Dumbledore is NEVER flustered or frustrated. If he is, then he definitely doesn't show it. But in the movies, especially the 4th and 5th one, they show him worried and upset, as if he didn't have control of the situation. But in the books, he is ALWAYS in control.

[ravegee_]

Leaving out the exchange that harry and Cedric had before getting the cup was almost criminal. Really shows why he felt guilty about his death, he should’ve just listened to Cedric and took the cup but they were both so noble.

[coloredpencils]

It's so ridiculous how many lines they give from other characters to Hermione. She is already such a heroine in the book, intelligent, shrewd, thoughtful, and wise. There's no need to make her the one person in every movie who magically knows everything as if she is a female Dumbledore. Also, as good as Emma is, Emma over-acts Hermione in my opinion, portraying her as dramatic, overreacting, and indignant, whereas in the book she is the one of the trio who is the most level-headed, always reminding Harry and Ron not to get provoked and to just ignore Rita's lies, Malfoy's taunts, etc.

[barnowl]

For all the poor changes this movie made from the book. I personally think that Amos's reaction to Cedric's death was a good addition. He had just lost his son, and to see that pain really makes you understand how evil Voldemort is for killing such a beloved person.
