* 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.

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

rongranger 04-07-2004 07:31 PM

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.

theres already a petition...check in the Save The Durseleys thread

harrypotter__rules1 04-07-2004 07:52 PM

I have signed because the Dursleys have a very important part in the 4th movie!!!!!!

Hestia_Jones 04-07-2004 07:53 PM

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.

Kazters 04-07-2004 08:01 PM

noooooooooooooooo you need the dursleys at the start of gof. i was looking forward to dudly's toune growing to like 6 foot.

i will sign the petition but i doubt it will make any diffrence.

Kazters 04-07-2004 08:12 PM

I have just signed only 45 people have signed so sign it please.

Hestia_Jones 04-07-2004 08:16 PM

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?

DogStar 04-07-2004 08:32 PM

No Dursleys? That's horrible. I'm defintitely signing.

carl 04-07-2004 09:13 PM

Hi,

There's also another PETITION which you can sign. It currently has over 150 signitures.

VictorPeace 04-07-2004 09:44 PM

I canŽt bealive this... IŽll sign right now... >_< >_< >_<

Gage13 04-07-2004 09:49 PM

you know i really don't care what happens to them but i signed anyways and i think i have a good idea of all the things they are going to cut in the movie

Potterfreak101 04-07-2004 09:55 PM

dont think i'm gonna sign. The dursleys have to be in movie five because they have an important role in that. bnut they are not important in the fourth movie.

padfootis#1 04-07-2004 10:00 PM

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.

EmMa_WaTsOn89 04-07-2004 10:08 PM

o well i dont really care but i would like then in it but it isnt like the saddest thing in the world.

Jaximillion 04-07-2004 11:03 PM

if something has to go it might as well be that, its nice to know that the actors are so involved tough.

reeta 04-07-2004 11:11 PM

the dursley's played sorta an important part........

they're the people you hope Harry would stick his wand at and blow them up or make horns grow from their heads.

meanies i tell you.

lilbunnyfoofoo13 04-07-2004 11:57 PM
