Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire

Caution: This Might Contain Spoilers!


This is the fourth installment to the Harry Potter franchise. In this installment to the series, Harry is staying at Ron's house. He awakes to a few surprise's-such as Hermione's appearance. Harry and his friends attend the Quidditch world tournament. The tourment is soon terrified by the presence of Deatheater's. This carries onto to Hogwart's as it is announced that it will host the Twiwizard Tournament open for three schools. Harry's name surprisingly appears and forces him to become one of the contestants.

In this installment to the series the old cast returns once again with a new director, Mike Newell. This has moments of laughter, and then it will suddenly turn to drama. The film does follow the novel as good as it can-a few things get changed around to best fit the cinema. A few new faces appear among the students-Cedric Diggory (Robert Pattinson) and Cho Chang (Katie Leung). This film really develops the wizarding world that Harry is a part of. It is shown that magic is in all regions of the world. The Ministery's influence also becomes more apparent in this film. This film also does a great job in placing the story within the action of the plot-the Twiwizard Tournament. The acting is great, and the special effects are used to assist in telling the story. Voldermort also makes his first appearance as a flesh and bone character. Ralph Fiennes was chosen to be the actor to play him, and does an amazing job. He gives the character the right amount of wickedness and intelligence to give audience's shudders. The dragons came out great. The mermaids were unusual thought, but it worked for the film's sequence. The final challenge truly brought out an inner challenge from the character's themselves. The rising of Voldermort was well done as well.

I give this film a 10 out of 10 stars! It's another great family film-even if it is dramatically dark.
