The
Comic Con International Magazine has a new interview with
Mike Newell. Brianne Cisneros, the 14-year-old interviewer, asked the '
Goblet of Fire' director about the Triwizard tasks, Hermione's appearance and the script.
Quote:
BC: In all the other movies, Hermione is not as plain, big toothed or bushy haired as she is in the books. In the book, nobody recognizes Hermione at the Yule Ball because she is so dressed up and beautiful. Is there going to be alot of time spent on that?
MN: "I think Emma Watson is a pretty girl, but I don't think she is super model beautiful. She's just like a real ordinary person. When she goes to the ball, we've made her look as beautiful and stylish as we knew how but still recognisably herself.
We don't spend a huge amount of time on it, but the way she looks does very much surprise Harry and Ron. And she's very excited to be invited by the Quidditch hero, Viktor Krum. He takes a real shine to her, and it's a very sweet relationship even though Ron is tortured with jealousy."
Mike also explains why the Dursleys were left out of the movie and why he decided to make the fourth installment into one film rather than two.
The entire interview can be read

Comic Con International will take place from July 14th - July 17th in San Diego; Warner Brothers will be promoting GoF at the convention.
Gentle Giant, a merchandising company, have arranged for 'a special Harry Potter-related guest' to be present at their booth.
