The Quidditch World Cup is a major set-piece that chews up a massive chunk of Goblet Of Fire, with a succession of matches leading to a spectacular final between Ireland and Bulgaria.
In the film we get an opening ceremony, a bit of scarf waving and a jarring jump cut. OK, it’s not essential to the plot, but the lack of any Quidditch action after all the build-up (and the stunning stadium) is a gaping absence in the film.
Shame. The Apprentice’s Nick Hewer could have done a great cameo as the ref.

I agree it's sad that certain characters and sub-plots had to go, but there's no limit to how long a novel can be.... the same can't be said of a movie.
