Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
The latest entry in the Harry Potter saga could be retitled Fast Times at Hogwarts, where finding a date to the winter ball is nearly as terrifying as worrying about Lord Voldemort's return. Thus, the young wizards' entry into puberty (and discovery of the opposite sex) opens up a rich mining field to balance out the dark content in the fourth movie (and the stories are only going to get darker). Mike Newell handily takes the directing reins and eases his young cast through awkward growth spurts into true young actors. Harry (Daniel Radcliffe, more sure of himself) has his first girl crush on fellow student Cho Chang, and has his first big fight with best bud Ron. Meanwhile, Ron's underlying romantic tension with Hermione comes to a head over the winter ball, and when she makes one of those girl-into-woman Cinderella entrances, the boys' reactions indicate they've all crossed a threshold.

But don't worry, there's plenty of wizardry and action in Goblet of Fire. When the deadly Tri-Wizard Tournament is hosted by Hogwarts, Harry finds his name mysteriously submitted (and chosen) to compete against wizards from two neighboring academies, as well as another Hogwarts student. The competition scenes are magnificently shot, with much-improved CGI effects (particularly the underwater challenge). And the climactic confrontation with Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes, in a brilliant bit of casting) is the most thrilling yet. Goblet, the first installment to get a PG-13 rating, contains some violence as well as disturbing images for kids and some barely shrouded references at sexual awakening (Harry's bath scene in particular). The 2 1/2-hour film, lean considering it came from a 734-page book, trims out subplots about house elves (they're not missed) and gives little screen time to the standard crew of the other Potter films, but adds in more of Britain's finest actors to the cast, such as Brendan Gleeson as Mad Eye Moody and Miranda Richardson as Rita Skeeter. Michael Gambon, in his second round as Professor Dumbledore, still hasn't brought audiences around to his interpretation of the role he took over after Richard Harris died, but it's a small smudge in an otherwise spotless adaptation.--Ellen A. Kim, Amazon.com

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - The film just doesnt deliver the way the book does.
This was my fave book and I was disapointed with the film. After the first three Harry Potter movies, this is a bit of a let-down. With the book being so long it was obvious that a lot would have to go but too much of the wrong stuff went. Harry, Ron and Hermione are all teenagers now and thus, in the normal way of teenagers, they're obsessed with sex but so what? This is supposed to be a magical adventure movie, not a half-baked love story!
Vital chunks of the basic plot are missing, not least ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fantastic
For me this was a the last good Harry Potter film. The children are growing up fast into that painful adult world of dating,the angst of love and in Harry and Ron's case, the sheer horror of having to ask a girl out. Amidst the back-drop of the Tri-Wizard tournament, danger lurks everywhere as usual. Harry not only faces death more than once, we see him recieving his first taste of peer disapproval at Hogwarts, starting as he did there in near iconic status. Quidditch superstar Krum choosing swotty but ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of the best HP movies so far..
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is one of the best movies in the series so far. It has a more mature feel then the earlier movies, though there is still enough layers that are accessible to kids. Though the movie differs from the book on several points, it can totally stand on its own. The trio is, as always, in and out of trouble constantly and the interactions between them are very nicely portrayed. They are all growing up and running into the issues that come with that.

I have to admit ... Read More
