* Save The Dursleys! - The Dursleys are cut from film four Summary:
The film of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire looks like it will be a Dursley-free zone, with none of Harry's family featuring in the fourth movie.
Actor Richard Griffiths' agent told Newsround Online that Richard was "very disappointed" not to be appearing as Uncle Vernon in the film. Article:
The film of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire looks like it will be a Dursley-free zone, with none of Harry's family featuring in the fourth movie.
Actor Richard Griffiths' agent told Newsround Online that Richard was "very disappointed" not to be appearing as Uncle Vernon in the film.
Griffiths also told a newspaper that he was hoping for a fans' revolt.
He said he'd even asked JK Rowling to try and get his character re-instated, but the fourth book is very long.
Griffiths is reported as saying "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'."
The book of The Goblet of Fire is so long that there as no way that the filmmakers could fit everything into the movie.
It now looks as if the action will start at The Burrow or the Quidditch World Cup.
Although he says he won't be in this film, Richard Griffith says he's hoping to be back for Order of the Phoenix.
-------------- Ananova are also reporting the same thing. Quote: Griffiths told a British tabloid: "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?'

I have made a petition to try and get him back in. Please sign! http://www.petitiononline.com/dursley/petition.html CBBC Newsround | |

I'd rather them cut the Dursleys than let them cut a whole Task or something or even shorten the tasks up a little for the time cram it really doesnt bother me at all. If the "movie Fans" think that harry went straight to the Weasleys let them think that maybe they wshould read the books. Just my opinion. | |

When you think about it logically the Dursleys may be the best thing to go, because when you look back at the book its a bit long and you cant put everything in, and the Dursleys arent that vital to the plot in gof. they need to be in ootp..but that isnt for ages yet.
As long as they keep in the first bit i'll be happy. | |

Seriously, you want the Dursleys? They arent that a main feature of the plot to be honest and there so much to fit in, they need to make sacrifices. Personally i thought cutting peeves was a crime but whatever, the films will still be good and besides we all forget about the Dursleys dont we? | |

WTF?!?!? You can't have a Harry Potter movie without tha Dursleys!!! It's so non harry potter, and who cares how long tha darn movie is people will still go see it, an extra 10 minutes wont hurt. Im sure if they wanted to they could fit them in. Just 10 MINUTES!!!!!!!!!!!! Come on. | |
