Mr. Jonathan Tebbs, owner of
A Barn full of Brass Beds in the UK has been left spellbound after his firm was
chosen to restore nine beds at his workshops for
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Quote:
He has also been working on a folding chair and will provide a unique iron to be used in a kitchen scene.

A delighted Mr Tebbs said: "When they first contacted me, I thought it was a wind up. But these things don't happen very often.
"I was desperate to do it. It was the wackiness of it. I was on tenterhooks for a month until they ended up buying the beds."
Quote:
Set dressers for Warner Bros have paid precise attention to detail and want brass beds for the scenes.
The Hogwarts gang visit Ron Weasley's parents and are camping in a tent. Although from the outside it is a small tent, once inside it opens up into a large dormitory with bunk beds and a double bed for the Weasleys. All the props will come from A Barn Full of Brass Beds.
Quote:
In previous Potter films, Julie Walters, who plays Ron Weasley's mother, has been seen to be in to "wacky old things".
So the brass beds fitted the bill for Warner Bros.
They have been supplied for the same price as if someone ordered one from his website and are about £300 for a single and £800 for a larger bed.
Quote:
And he told of the professionalism of Warner Bros.
He said: "The set dressers are interesting people, very down to earth. they think if a job is worth doing, it is worth doing well.
"Maybe they hope the attention to detail will rub off on the actors and if they are around interesting stuff it will help them perform better."
Just to link the bits of information, the connection to the cup is that the camping in tents happens before the Quidditch World Cup match. The mention of Julie Walters aka Molly Weasley and the figure nine seems to suggest that she has been written into those scenes for the film version of GoF.
