Under a veil of mystery, small optical supply firm Graham Coates Ltd.
in the UK has shipped an undisclosed order worth a "significant" sum to the makers of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Comparing it to giving away the secrets of a magic trick, the company's owner can't say what exactly they provided, but allowed that it's a spin-off of what they normally do:
The company, set up 20 years ago, is expert in building eye-testing equipment for opticians and anti-reflective coatings and tints.
"It's a great honour for a small company, here in Winchcombe, to be able to say we had a hand in it and supply the likes of Warner Brothers."
Ten years ago, the firm created true-colour holographs and sold the technology to US computer giant IBM.
The company previously supplied products for the makers of Wallace and Gromit.

This is kind of mysterious. I can't desice if they want something to use as props or for something to help them shoot the movie. I hope they eventually tell us what it was they ordered.

Movie 3 isn't even out of productions yet, and movie 4 is already starting to work on it's special effects, this is promising. If we keep to this schedule, all 7 movies could be made before the trio is too old to play their characters.

That must have been so cool for the guys working at the optical firm.It must have been a great honour for them to be in a WB production.
