List of differences between Harry Potter books and movies of goblet of fire



Goblet of fire 
  • The book starts with the whole story about the murder of the Riddle family and Frank Bryce the gardener. In the film his name and function are not mentioned. 

  • In the book, Frank Bryce is invited into the room with Voldemort and his servants, and he confronts them shortly before he is killed. In the film, he does not say anything to them and is killed outside of the room. Also, in the book Wormtail was terrified to find someone listening in, not manically gleeful as in the film.
 
  • The film shows Barty Crouch Junior in the room along with Voldemort and Wormtail. His presence there is never mentioned in the book. 
  • Bertha Jorkins is frequently mentioned in the book, but never in the film.

  • In the book, Harry wakes up at Privet Drive, two weeks before September 1st. In the film, he wakes up at The Burrow. This means that the scene where the Weasleys enter Privet Drive through the fireplace, Harry receiving an invitation from the Weasleys to the Quidditch World Cup, Fred and George giving Dudley Ton-Tongue Toffee, and every other scene with the Dursleys are omitted.
 
  • In the book, Harry sends a letter to Sirius shortly after waking up from his dream to let Sirius know his scar hurt, and his concerns about Voldemort being nearby. In the film, Harry only sends a letter to Sirius when already at Hogwarts and upon advice Hermione gave him aboard the Hogwarts Express rather than on his own decision.

  • Hermione arrives at the Burrow before Harry in the book. In the film, after she wakes him up, she says that she had just got there.

  • Bill and Charlie Weasley, and Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes are omitted from the film.
  • In the book, Ron finds out he is going to wear his flashy ball dress at the Burrow when he is unwrapping his belongings. In the film, he receives it by owl post already at Hogwarts, after the first task has happened. 

  • In the book, Amos Diggory is described as having a scrubby beard. In the film, he has no beard at all and he wears glasses that are not mentioned in the book.

  • In the book, it is said that the Ministry forbids the use and display of magic in the Quidditch World Cup campsite, even though some wizards discreetly transgress this rule. In the film, Quidditch supporters ostensibly fly with broomsticks in the campsite.

  • In the book, Harry, Hermione and the Weasleys watch the Quidditch match from the Top Box alongside the Malfoys and other prominent figures such as Cornelius Fudge and the Bulgarian Minister for Magic. In the film, only the Malfoys, and not the Weasleys, watch the match from there. Draco even brags about the fact that they were invited by Cornelius Fudge himself, something. 

  • In the book the whole Quidditch game is shown. The film only shows the players doing the introduction. 

  • In the film, when the Death Eaters attack the Quidditch World Cup, Harry gets trampled by the panicked crowd and then knocked out, resulting in him getting separated from his friends. This does not happen in the book.
