| | |  The 'grave' GoF mistake
An image from ' Goblet of Fire' (first published by Entertainment Weekly), showing Harry standing before the Riddle grave, caused an outcry among Potter fans. It reads 'Tom Marvolo Riddle 1915-1943'.
We know that Lord Voldemort was not buried in that grave. He also did not murder the Riddles until 1944/1945. If this refers to Lord Voldemort's father then it would make him 11 years old when his son was born (as we know Lord Voldemort was born December 31st 1926). Additionally Voldemort's father's middle name would not have been Marvolo for that name came from his mother's side of the family.
Two articles have arisen, highlighting this mistake, and the fans reactions to it - one in the Mail on Sunday (scan courtesy of DR.co.uk) and one in The Courier Mail.
The articles say, "Producers are said to be considering altering the tombstone with the latest computer wizardry. They have ruled out re-shooting scenes with Dan Radcliffe."
They say WB insist that "it will be accurate in the final film".
No official details are available regarding the corrections.

Yeah that was pretty weird. But with advanced technology, I bet it wouldn't be too difficult to change back, so, hopefully, everything will be set right by the time GOF comes out in November.

To be honest it wouldn't bother me, its not a major thing in the movie. I mean if they had Cho Chang as a champion and nto Cedric, then that would be an outcry. | |

Yes but they could've asked Jo before the book release just to confirm the dates were accurate. I doubt she'd have minded confirming stuff like that as it isn't in any way spoilerish.

I had seen that one before. I hope they correct it.

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.

Yeah it's not that big of a deal, today they can easily fix that on computer and no one will be able to tell. Hopefully small mistakes like this are the only sort in the film...

I'm sure in the film everyone will be so busy looking at Harry they probably wont even notice the dates and names on the tombstone!! It'd be nice to have it correct thou!!!! Isn't amazing what they can do with computers these days!!!

I probably wouldn't have noticed it until I saw the list of "bloopers" from people who stare at the movie to make sure everything is perfect *twitches at thought of those people*

I don't think it's terrible, but at least they are going to fix it for accuracy.

It's good that they'll listen to fans to keep it as accurate as possible, that's really all that matters to me...

hey not many people understood voldemorts life before hbp came out so i think that the mistake on the tomb was just that an honest mistake...i dont understand why some people were so upset i mean there are problems in all the movies that dont go with future books its not the producers faught or jk's either it was just a mistake
ON THAT NOTE  i am happy that they changed it...
