Is Kate Winslet up for next Potter role

LOS ANGELES: Titanic star Kate Winslet could be in for a role in ‘Goblet Of Fire’ (GoF), if a newspaper report about her husband Sam Mendes can be believed. Film director Sam is quoted as saying: “Kate had a meeting with director Chris Columbus and some producers. “She was asked to have an important role as a young French wizard or something like that.” That points to the role of schoolgirl Fleur Delacour. But Kate is 29. And Chris isn’t even directing ‘GoF’.

Mike Newell is the director of the fourth movie, with filming expected to start any time around now. Fleur is one of Harry’s opponents in ‘GoF’s main event — the Triwizard Tournament.
