* OneGenderSchool: In the books, Beauxbatons and possibly Durmstrang are co-ed. Here, they're all-female and all-male, respectively.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Albus Dumbledore, when he asks Harry if he put his name in the Goblet of Fire. The book actually specified that he asked the question ''calmly''. Film Dumbledore not only charges at him yelling but even manhandles him. One of the most infamous examples of this trope ever, and the subject of numerous memes and parodies. In fairness, it ''does'' appear that Dumbledore is acting this way [[AngerBornOfWorry more out of confusion and worry than actual anger]].

** Barty Crouch Jr is present at the Riddle House with Voldemort and Pettigrew, and subsequently witnesses Voldemort kill Frank Bryce. Crouch was not there in the book. He was informed about Voldemort "offscreen." Additionally, his face is directly shown by the camera when he casts the Dark Matk at the Quidditch World Cup.

* {{Angrish}}: When Dumbledore [[BlatantLies calmly asks]] about how Harry's name ended up in the Goblet of Fire, he is so angry that his words slur together, ending up sounding more like gibberish than a coherent sentence.

** In the book, Harry asks Parvati to the ball, and she tells him her sister Padma doesn’t have a date, to which Ron agrees to go with her. In the movie, they both appear to be in Gryffindor, and Harry sees them both in the common room when getting the idea to ask Parvati. He calls out “Hey”, to them, and then it completely skips to the ball itself.

* DefiantToTheEnd: Cedric spends his last moments defending Harry from a man he's never met, despite Harry telling him to run for it. Harry himself is also this when Voldemort tries to murder him, refusing to go down hiding behind the gravestone.

* DemotedToExtra: If they weren't already AdaptedOut, chances are a character suffered this in the film. For example, while Rita Skeeter does appear, her subplot is deleted. See KarmaHoudini.
** Sirius only has one scene (the fireplace scene) in the Final Cut compared to the larger supporting role he had in the book. Fans never quite got over this.

* FormerTeenRebel: In a likely non-cabin addition, Dumbledore admits to setting some curtains on fire in his fourth year. "Accidentally, of course."

* InelegantBlubbering: Understandably by Harry (unlike his more stoic book counterpart) and Amos Diggory when [[spoiler: Harry brings Cedric's dead body back from the graveyard]].

* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: When his scar acts up in the graveyard, Harry collapses from the pain in his scar and shouts at Cedric to run for the Cup and get to safety. Cedric refuses and spends his last moments defending a prone Harry.

* MessyHair: A lot of the characters, from Harry to Ron to Neville and the Weasley twins, for some reason, have much longer hair in this movie than in any of the others. Notably averted for Draco.

** Dumbledore and Hagrid also look horrified when they sees Harry and Cedric and realise what's happened.

* AdaptationDistillation: The three trials that Harry saw in the pensieve in the book are reduced to one. Bagman's trial is omitted due to the character being AdaptedOut, and Karkaroff and Crouch Jr's trials are combined into one by having Karkaroff turn in Crouch Jr, which he doesn't in the book. The other Death Eaters on trial with Crouch Jr. (including an EarlyBirdCameo of Bellatrix) are also adapted out.

* In the book, Harry asks Parvati to the ball, and she tells him her sister Padma doesn’t have a date, to which Ron agrees to go with her.

* DefiantToTheEnd: Cedric spends his last moments defending Harry from a man he's never met, despite Harry telling him to run for it.

* DemotedToExtra: If they weren't already AdaptedOut, chances are a character suffered this in the film. Sirius only has one scene as a result compared to the larger supporting role he had in the book. Likewise, while Rita Skeeter does appear, her subplot is deleted. See KarmaHoudini.

* DueToTheDead: There is no memorial feast in the Great Hall: instead, Dumbledore hosts a gathering of the students with a speech to pay respect to Cedric Diggory.

* FormerTeenRebel: Dumbledore admits to setting some curtains on fire in his fourth year. "Accidentally, of course."

* InelegantBlubbering: Understandably by Harry and Amos Diggory when [[spoiler: Harry brings Cedric's dead body back from the graveyard]].

* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: When his scar acts up in the graveyard, Harry collapses and is in no state to run for the Portkey Cup. He shouts at Cedric to run for the Cup and get to safety. Cedric refuses and spends his last moments defending a prone Harry.

* MessyHair: A lot of the characters, from Harry to Ron to Neville and the Weasley twins, for some reason, have much longer hair in this movie than in any of the others. Notably averted for Hermione.

** Hagrid also looks horrified when he sees Harry and Cedric and realises what's happened.

* Harry is supplied the Gillyweed by Neville, who had learned of its existence from a book given to him by Moody. In the novel Moody tried to arrange for this to happen, but he was forced to change tack when Harry failed to ask Neville for help, and instead had Dobby give him the Gillyweed.

* PinkIsFeminine: Hermione's hair is not in a neat bun and her dress is pink, rather than periwinkle blue. This caused a ridiculous amount of fan backlash, claiming wearing pink is uncharacteristic of her. For the record, costume designer Jany Temime made the change because she thought pink looked better on Creator/EmmaWatson. There were also concerns that dressing Hermione in blue would make her resemble the Beauxbatons girls too much.

* PinkIsFeminine: Hermione's hair is not in a neat bun and her dress is pink, rather than periwinkle blue. This caused a ridiculous amount of fan backlash claiming wearing pink is uncharacteristic of her.

The film marked the big-screen debut of Creator/RobertPattinson (Cedric Diggory), who a few years later shot to stardom in the ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' series.

* MythologyGag: Right before Harry stumbles across Crouch's body in the forest, the others can be heard a short distance away singing the Hogwarts school song--a case of EarlyInstalmentWeirdness from the books as it is sung at Harry's first opening feast in ''Philosopher's Stone'' and then never again. In the books, it was explained that Dumbledore usually only sings it if he’s in a particularly cheerful mood. The school singing it appears in a deleted scene in which the guests are less than thrilled at the cheesy song.

** Bill, Charlie, and Percy Weasley are omitted. This means the first time Harry sees Bill is when he formally introduces himself during ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallowsPart1''.

** Barty Crouch Jr is present at the Riddle House with Voldemort and Pettigrew, and subsequently witnesses Voldemort kill Frank Bryce. Crouch was not there in the book. He was informed about Voldemort "offscreen."

* AdaptationalVillainy: The movie excised a lot of Barty Crouch Jr.'s more sympathetic traits, particularly his love for his mother and the scorn and neglect he received from his father, which partially explained why he looked up to Voldemort as a mentor figure. In the film, he joins the Death Eaters just ForTheEvulz.

** Amos Diggory. In the book, he's rather rude, brash, and boastful about Cedric's accomplishments. In the film, he's quieter and far more polite. This was likely done because whilst Cedric had been established in the third book, he wasn't in [[Film/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban the film adaptation]], and this creates sympathy towards Amos as a character at the film's conclusion.

* AdaptationDistillation: The three trials that Harry saw in the pensieve in the book are reduced to one. Bagman's trial is omitted due to the character being AdaptedOut, and Karkaroff and Crouch Jr's trials are combined into one by having Karkaroff turn in Crouch Jr, which he doesn't in the book. The other Death Eaters on trial with Crouch Jr. are also adapted out.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Albus Dumbledore, when he asks Harry if he put his name in the Goblet of Fire. The book actually specified that he asked the question ''calmly''. Film Dumbledore not only charges at him yelling but even manhandles him. One of the most infamous examples of this trope ever, and the subject of numerous memes and parodies.

* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Barty Crouch Sr.'s death is portrayed a little differently in the film. In the book, he threw off the Imperius Curse that his son and Pettigrew had placed him under, and was killed by Crouch Jr .(impersonating Moody) whilst on his way to try and warn Dumbledore, then was subsequently transfigured into a bone and buried. Here, he is killed by Crouch Jr. for seeing through his son's "Moody" disguise, and his body is found by Harry while hiking with Ron, Hermione and Hagrid.

* CoDragons: Heroic example. Snape and [=McGonagall=] are more clearly presented as Dumbledore’s left and right hand men, with Moody joining them. Best seen in the discussion in Dumbledore’s office after Harry is forced to compete in the tournament.

*** A flame suddenly erupts from another table, with a few students giggling. [[RunningGag It should be noted that Seamus is the only student missing at the trio’s table.]]

* {{Hypocrite}}: Ron berates Hermione for going to the Yule Ball with Krum, calling it "fraternizing with the enemy," since Krum is from Durmstrang, a rival school (and is one of Harry's competitors in the Triwizard Tournament). This coming from the man who tried asking out Fleur Delacour, whom is from Beauxbatons, another rival school (and is another of Harry's competitors in the Triwizard Tournament). As Hermione points out, he’s just burned because he realized she could be a potential date too late and felt offended that she found a date while he didn’t.

* IHaveNoSon: Barty Crouch Sr.'s reaction to his son being revealed as a Death Eater at the trial. The film ends up flipping how the characters are portrayed. In the books, Jr. cries and begs for mercy, making his father seem cold and cruel. Here, Jr. proudly and immediately outs himself as guilty, making Sr. seem sympathetic and horrified by his sons atrocities.

* UncannyValley: Deliberately invoked with Voldemort, who--much like in the book--is depicted as frail and snake-like with amphibious skin, no eyebrows, and two slits instead of a nose. The only noticeable departure from the book is his eyes being green instead of red. According to the director, this change was made because "if you don't leave an enormous chunk of the 'human being' there, then he isn't going to scare you." Producer David Yates added to this by stating: "Our goal was that: you look at him and he seems quite normal, but then you look ''a little closer'' and realize: 'You know what? It's not quite right.'"

* WinBackTheCrowd: In-universe, sort of. Harry gets decidedly unpopular when his name gets picked for the Tri-Wizard Tournament as many people think he's being a GloryHound. A downplayed example, as most Gryffindors are still on his side and cheer for him come the dragon battle. After the First Task, the Hogwarts community warms back up to him thanks to his feat, and after Ron admits that Harry would’ve been insane to enter the tournament, proving he wasn’t a GloryHound.
