The Fire Rises.

Rating: 8/10 (6 January 2016)

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005): Dir: Mike Newell / Cast: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Robert Pattinson, Michael Gambon: Fourth film in the series regards achievement in a plot about wizard schools competing in a tournament. Although one wizard per school can compete, Potter's name is revealed to much controversy. He is the youngest to compete in a tournament that involves dragons, an underwater sea world, and an overwhelming maze. Director Mike Newell handles the material well as the third director to tackle the series. The special effects are breathtaking with flying horses, dragons, ghosts, mermaids, and other images that spark the imagination. Daniel Radcliffe returns again as Harry who undertakes perhaps his most difficult task. Emma Watson as Hermione Granger may be discovering romance. Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley is given humorous moments involving a dance. Robert Pattinson is added as one of the tournament finalist who has clothes ties with Potter that lead to an electrifying climax. Michael Gambon provides the wisdom and authority of wizard Dombledore. The films exist to bring the J.K. Rowling books to life. Perhaps discernment should be given to young children before viewing its creepy atmosphere. Otherwise this is a pointless exercise in imagery is what keeps the goblet's fire burning bright. Score: 8 / 10
