Other Information:

-The Yule Ball scene is described as "Every surface has been silvered, with giant icicles to hang from the beams, and a giant Christmas Tree sits at the head of the space."
-Producer David Heymman says that they've added a new piece of information to a character that's "perfectly organic and works".
-Filming for GOF officially began on March 22, 2004 in Glencoe. Glencoe, which is where a major part of the filming for the first three films took place, has been shifted to a secondary filming location for the fourth.

-Further filming in the Highlands is highly unlikely due to adverse weather conditions. Most of the filming is taking place in Exmoor, Devon, and Leavesden studios in Hertfordshire.

Running Length:

According a recent article in "Sci Fi Wire", we learned why and how some changes to the legth of the screenplay are being made. For starters, JK Rowling approves of the shorter length. In a nutshell, anything that does not directly relate to Harry will be taken out from the final cut of Goblet of Fire.

It has been officially confirmed by Warner Brothers that GOF will be a single two and a half-hour film. That is the one lasting contribution that Alfonso Cuaron, the director of the third movie has left on Goblet of Fire. Cuaron convinced screen writer Steve Kloves that the film needed to be a single film, instead of two, like originally planned.

Some HP fans strongly disagree with this decision and has also led to websites such as SaveGOF, which have a petition to convince WB into splitting the book into two seperate films, or one extra long movie. In addition, Goblet of Fire is to be the most expensive movie ever made, with the current budget at over $300 million.
