These are differences between the book and film versions of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J. K. Rowling.

Omissions
The following characters appear in the book, but were not cast in this film and do not appear in previous films, although some may appear in later ones. In order of appearence: residents of Little Hangleton who gossip about the murder of the Riddles, Bill Weasley (later played by Domhall Gleeson), Charlie Weasley, Pigwidgeon (Ron's owl, though, still, in photo shots for the film, however, Rupert Grint is seen with a small owl,), Ludo Bagman, Croaker, Kevin (the two year old boy who enlarges a slug with his father's wand) and other people described in specifics at the Quidditch World Cup campsite and match, Mrs Finnigan, Cuthbert Mockridge, Arnold Peasegood, the Roberts family, Gilbert Wimple, Mrs Wood (Oliver Wood's mother), Basil, Narcissa Malfoy (later played by Helen Mccory, Hassan Mostafa, Mr Oblansk, Winky (voice), all the new students accepted by the Sorting Hat, including Dennis Creevey, Peeves, Professor Sinistra, Poliakoff (Durmstrang student), Violet (portrait), the other House-Elves, Professor Binns, Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank, Mrs Crouch, Bellatrix Lestrange (later played by Helena Bonham Carter, Rodolphus Lestrange, Rabastan Lestrange, Mr and Mrs., Madame Delacour, Cedric Diggory's mother (whose role was given to his father), Nott, and Bertha Jorkins (whose role was cut).

Two house-elves appear for a fleeting moment in the campsite scene at the Quidditch World Cup. They do not speak audibly, are never seen or heard of again, and the House-Elves' main plot in the book is entirely omitted. For the purposes of ease, the "omission of house-elves" referred to throughout the article does not include these few seconds.

For characters who appear in the book and were cast for previous films, but who were cut from this film, see below.

Additions
Two roles were created by rowling for charity character billed as Karkaroff's Aide is played by Tolga Safer. A character named Nigel, played by William Melling, is a Gryffindor boy younger than the principal characters. He is present at all of the Triwizard Tournament tasks, cheering for Harry and also brings Ron a parcel for him that turns out to contain his dress robes for the [[Triwizard Tournament#The Yul

Classes
All classes taught by recurring characters have been cut, so that the only class shown is Professor Moody teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts. Therefore there are no scenes of Transfiguration, Charms, Herbology, Potions, Divination, or Care of Magical Creatures, as there have been in the past. There is one scene in the movie only that is apparently a quiet study hall of sorts. Professor Snape proctors the activity and punishes Harry and Ron for talking by hitting them on the head

Locations and magical items
The following magical items appear in the book but are not in the film: the Sorting Hat, and the Marauder's Map.

The following places appear in the book but are not in the film: Number 4, Privet Drive and Hogsmeade

Deleted scenes
The following is a list of scenes that appear in the book and that were not in the final cut of the movie but were included on the DVD as deleted scenes, more or less the same as they were written in the book. Alternate versions of included scenes are not mentioned here.
 * An unnamed Durmstrang boy asks an unnamed Ravenclaw girl to the Yule Ball. She happily accepts and both his and her friends are excited. The shot changes to show a disappointed Harry and Ron, still without dates. (In the final cut, there are numerous other scenes as such.)
 * Harry sees Cho Chang on the staircase in the North Tower. He tries to ask her to the Yule Ball, but she can only say a rushed "hi" before her friends brush her past to their next class. (In the final cut, there are numerous other scenes as such.)

The following table lists differences of scenes in the book that were not in the final cut of the movie but were included on the DVD as deleted scenes. Alternate versions of included scenes are not mentioned here.
