About this movie

It's Harry Potter's fourth term at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft andWizardry! Harry, Ron and Hermione look forward to the international Quidditch finals. Harry dreams of spending time with the alluring Cho Chang. He wants to be a normal 14-year-old wizard . . . But Harry is not normal--even by wizarding standards. This term, for the first time in hundreds of years, a competition will be held between three schools of wizardry, and contestants will be magically chosen for the very dangerous event. Now, as Harry's lightning scar burns, indicating the evil presence of Lord Voldemort, the Goblet of Fire makes its final selection for the competition--Harry Potter.

I'm reading the books with my daughter now and when we finish each, we watch the movie. It's hard to squeeze a 700+ page book down to 2.5 hours of movie, so, so much is left out, and the movie feels very rushed in order to get in as much as it can. I would urge anyone who hasn't read the books to read them as they are SOOO much richer. This movie is ok for the effects and to get some visuals to some of the characters and things we only used our imaginations to conjure before. They did a decent job with depicting these visually. Unfortunately so many of characters are like cardboard in the movie compared to the book due to the time limitations that preclude much character development. They also actually change some things in the movies both because of expediency but some for no apparent reason - for example Hermione breaking down and crying after confronting Ron after the ball, when in the book she simply is mad and stormed off. It's too bad they couldn't get agreements like Peter Jackson to stretch single Harry Potter Books into 3 movies to do them more justice, but then I suppose you'd have 21 movies or even more!

Its a pretty good movie and its funny to see how diffrent the characters look in this from what they did in my imagination when i read the book. It still did miss some parts of the book that i liked.

This was my favorite book of all, so I gave it four stars only because this one was hard to beat out the book. Book is much better but still a very good movie.
