"Goblet of Fire" out of Fuel early!

Rating: 6/10 (27 December 2005)

I was very disappointed with the latest installment of Harry Potter! This was a longer book, but if you can have 3 hour epics from Kevin Costner and Peter Jackson, then here should be no different!
In the beginning of the movie, they made it seem as though the Quidditch World Cup never happened! Not true! The match was Bulgaria versus Ireland, George & Fred correctly bet that Ireland made the points yet Bulgaria would pull the Snitch - that was part of the seed-money for their pranks-shop...
Madame Maxim in the book never plucked anything from Hagrid's beard (which was gross as it was), in fact, she got offended when he was implying she was a fellow giant! Because there is still discrimination against Giants to this day in their world!
Where was Hermione's movement to free house-elves? And Dobby? The freed house-elf? This was Rowling's look at racism and unions...
Ron was offended at Harry being in the Tri-Wizard as an excuse for being angry that his family were perpetually "poor," while Harry inherited fabulous wealth that he just gives everywhere!
That's because Harry couldn't care less for the money - he learned to do with less, having been raised so poorly by the Dursleys!
Voldemort in returning to Earth was not a noseless semi-serpent/earthworm, he may have been hairless but that was as far as it went! Poor Ralph Fiennes, what a come-down!!
Also, when Harry won the Tri-Wizard tournament, he thought of the prize fee as blood-money and gave it all to Fred & George who pooled with their Quidditch money to start their own shop for jokes and pranks.... I was very much let down in a serious way!
Heaven help us with #5, will Lucius Malfoy be a hero? Ugh!!
