A new set report has been written by a boy who was an extra during the filming of the Quidditch World Cup scenes for 'Goblet of Fire'. The report can be read here.

Quote:

The scene we were filming that day was for the opening scenes of the match between Ireland and Bulgaria. We were doing close ups of the stand in the World cup stadium.

Quote:

I was to be seated next to Harry, Ron, Hermione, Mr. Weasley, Ginny, the twins and lots of others and we were all to cheer on our teams.

Quote:

Some of us were really dressed up in cool gear. Jesters hats, faces painted and Bulgarian and Irish Quidditch tops.

Quote:

Ginny who is so cool wore a huge hat, Fred had his face painted, while some of us had flags to wave and cheer at the top of our voices on our teams.

Quote:

I don't remember seeing ANY of the Malfoys and I didn't see an empty seat for Winky.

Quote:

To make sure all of us extra's didn't look at the cameras during filming they were hidden while we cheered on our teams. I had to follow a very small light darting around on a blue screen in front of me which represented one of my Quidditch team players.

Thanks to HP4U.

They already said that S.P.E.W. was out. Does this mean that Dobby and Winky are out too? NO! Why do they do this?! Why do they torture us like this?! GRR!

Quote:

why wouldn't you a) see the Malfoy's

Because they're not in sight/out of the room/ it's just the entering scenes (hence where it says 'opening scenes' in the report). There could be many reasons.

Quote:

b) see an empty seat for Winky?

Out of sight. Top boxes are generally quite big.

I really don't think this kid's words should be taken as gospel because there would've been loads of people on set and most of the time, extra's aren't allowed anywhere near the main actors.
