In an interview with Sci-Fi Wire, Producer David Heyman has revealed some of the things that have had to be 'snipped' from the book to adapt "Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire" for the big screen - "Anything that doesn't really relate to Harry and Harry's journey is less relevant. That's not to say that there're not minor detours. Inevitably there are. But there are certain things that we don't spend as much time with as they do in the book, just by the very nature of the material."

One of the major things is that the entire S.P.E.W/Dobby/Winky sub-plot has gone - it just wasn't important enough to be included in the film, and it's exclusion will probably only be mourned by only the most die-hard of fans as such. Heyman says "It's Hermione's issue. Not to say Hermione's [not important]. Hermione's a vitally important character. But you have to make some choices."

He continued by dropping another hint, "One piece of information we've put into another character, which feels perfectly organic [and] works. The story works perfectly without [the elf story]. And we consulted with Jo [Potter author J.K. Rowling] about it, and she was fine [with it]". One can't help but think that this extra information will be relevant to the sixth and seventh books.

The extra information is that SPEW isn't important? hmm...

I hope Dobby does show up still, even if it's not related to the rest of the story.

He is the one that helps Harry with the second task. I hope he is there too.

Ah, right. If Dobby doesn't help Harry, he'll drown... oh dear, I really do hope that doesn't happen
