Differences from the book
- The Dursleys' role in the film is cut, where the film begins at the Burrow instead of Privet Drive.
- In the film, Harry dreams of seeing Voldemort, Wormtail and Barty Jr. talking together in the Riddle House. In the book, Barty Jr. is not present in this dream.
- Bertha Jorkins' role in the film is cut, including the important details to how Voldemort found out that the Triwizard Tournament is occurring at Hogwarts.
- Ludo Bagman's role is cut from the film. The Quidditch World Cup is narrated by Cornelius Fudge and Barty Crouch Sr appears as the only additional judge of the Triwizard Tournament.
- Bill, Charlie and Percy Weasley accompanying their father, siblings, Harry and Hermione to the Quidditch World Cup has been omitted. Other changes to the World Cup in the film include the group sitting in normal seats during the match instead of the box seats with Cornelius Fudge and the Malfoys, Harry losing his wand briefly during the Death Eater disturbance, and the majority of the Quidditch match.
- In the film, Barty Jr. is clearly seen conjuring the Dark Mark via Morsmordre. In the book, the identity of the caster is a mystery.
- The book shows that Gryffindor house are the only ones accepting of Harry's name being drawn out of the cup, excluding that of Ron prior to the first task. However, the film shows Harry being only on speaking terms with Neville Longbottom and Hermione Granger.
- In the book, Harry accomplishes the First Task by getting by past the Hungarian Horntail Dragon via a clever flying strategy to secure the egg it is guarding, whereas in the film, both Harry and the dragon fly out of the field area, and he merely flies a bit better than the dragon does to render it unconscious.
- In the film, Neville Longbottom provides Harry with gillyweed for the Second Task. Snape confronts him about stealing ingredients from his private stores, which are held in a closet rather than in his office in the dungeons as in the book. In the book, Harry gets the Gillyweed from Dobby.
- In the film, Moody (Crouch Jr. under the influence of Polyjuice Potion) has a tell-tale tongue twitch that reveals to the viewer that the person they are seeing is Barty in disguise. Crouch Sr. notices "Moody" doing this and realizes that it is really his son. In the book, it is a complete mystery until the end and there is no tongue flicking at all.
- Hermione Granger's attempt to stand up for the fair treatment of house-elves as well as any mention of her S.P.E.W. organization was removed. Another omission was the removal of Winky and Dobby from the film.
- Harry's conversation with Sirius Black about Crouch Jr. is cut out, and instead, he first learns about Crouch Jr. when he sees him in Dumbledore's Pensieve.
- Rita Skeeter's role is diminished as well as any details that she is an unregistered Animagus.
- In the film, instead of seeing Crouch Sr. going mad and then disappearing, only to later find out that his son killed him, Harry simply finds him dead.
- In the film there is no mention made of Crouch Jr.'s death, which would explain why Dumbledore is not surprised to hear about Crouch being in Harry's vision. The parts about Crouch Sr. going missing because of "illness", and later when Harry sees "Barty Crouch" on the Marauder's Map and suspects Crouch Sr. of wrongdoing are deleted.
- In the book, Crouch Jr. denied all involvement in the torture of Frank and Alice Longbottom at the Wizengamot trial, and begs his father to spare him. In the movie, Igor Karkaroff snitches on Crouch Jr. about the torture of Mr. and Mrs Longbottom, which leads him trying to escape. He then cruelly spits out to Mr. Crouch, "Hello father" during his arrest.
- Bellatrix is never shown in flashbacks.
- Mr.Crouch was proud to send his son to Azkaban in the book, and his son begged him not to send him there. But in the movie, his son never tries to avoid Azkaban, and Mr.Crouch felt terrible about having to do it.
- In the film, when Crouch Jr. is finally captured, there is no explanation as to how he excaped Azkaban. Indeed, this creates a plothole, as it was a serious matter when Sirius escaped, and without Crouch being assumed dead in the movie, it is unknown how Crouch's escape would have gone unnoticed. Dumbledore then tells Snape to inform Azkaban that they have a prisoner missing, even though he learned about Crouch being at large much earlier on, when Harry told him about his dream.
- Moody's chest is shown not as having seven different compartments that each open to a different lock, but a nested set of seven chests with the real Moody imprisoned in the innermost.
- In the film, Barty Crouch Jr. is last seen being held prisoner by his former comrade Severus Snape, and no mention is made of his subjection to the Dementors' Kiss. It is not clear if for the purposes of the movie series he is still alive after these events.
- The subplot involving the revelation that Hagrid is a half-giant is removed, as well as Rita Skeeter revealing it. There is, however, a scene in the film where Hagrid reveals to Madame Maxine that he is half giant.
- Also removed was Sirius' visit with Harry in Hogsmeade.
- In the book Harry gives Fred Weasley and George Weasley his Triwizard Tournament winnings so they can open up their joke shop. In the film there is no mention of the twins ever wanting to open up the joke shop or any mention of their mothers disapproval which leaves a lot of questions for the next movie.
