Trivia about Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (film) includes:

• Alternate DVD Commentary:
  • Riff Trax
  • The fansite "The Leaky Cauldron"
  • Wizard People, Dear Reader
• The Cameo: Jarvis Cocker appears as the frontman to The Weird Sisters.
• Creative Closing Credits: The credits appear on pieces of paper, resembling the scraps of paper thrown into the Goblet of Fire. Another Credits Medley, which opens with a Rearrange the Song version of "Hedwig's Theme". The credits track is not on the official soundtrack, which remains the case for the rest of the series.
• Creator Cameo: Mike Newell's voice is heard on the radio in the opening scene with Frank Bryce.
• Dawson Casting: David Tennant plays Barty Crouch, Jr. both in the present day and in flashback. Present-day Crouch, Jr. is Tennant's real age, but in the flashback, Crouch Jr. is supposed to be about nineteen. Tennant does not look it at all.
• Mythology Gag:

Rita Skeeter (throwing Harry into a tiny broom closet): Well, now, isn't this cosy? Harry: Um, Miss Skeeter, it's a broom closet. Rita: Well, then, you should feel right at home.

• What Could Have Been:
  • The adult casting for the film:
    • John Malkovich and Rowan Atkinson were possible choices for Lord Voldemort.
    • Rosamund Pike was the first one offered the role of Rita Skeeter, but she said no.
    • Ray Winstone and Billy "Il Duce" Connolly were both offered the part of "Mad-Eye" Moody.
  • The idea of splitting Goblet of Fire into two films was given very brief but very serious consideration.
