F.Y.I. This is going to be a boring review. Mike Newell's version of, in my humble opinion, Rowling's best Potter book, is flippin' brilliant! If you liked the other three, you will love the fourth. It is wonderfully directed, superbly acted, and beautifully shot.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire gets a FOUR COURSE MEAL review.
Goblet of Fire is dark and funny and grave and tragic and uplifting. Brilliant, I tell you. Brilliant! You will hear die hard fans quibble (how does one spell quibble?) about Newell not putting in their favorite scene from the book. The book itself is well over 500 pages, which would make for an extremely long movie. So I do not begrudge the director for removing the international quiditch tournament. Granted, I would have loved to seen it, and maybe on the DVD we will, but it did not detract, in any way, from the root of the story.
Go see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Believe the hype! At least, believe it this time.
