I LOVE this Movie!!! I have now seen it three times and have fallen in love. Every Potter movie is more deep than the last.
To All those who think Michael Gambon was a hyper Albus Dumbledore, I respectfully disagree because he only raised his voice at Harry once and that was after the Goblet spat Harry's name out. but, however, he did go off on Harry a little bit then, and I don't remember Dumbledore being like that in the book. he seemed calm. had Richard Harris been much healthier and still alive, he would do that scene calmly. You know, dark times are looming and even the most magical and even-keeled headmaster is human 1st. and Wizard 2nd..meaning magic may not be able to stop them from being scared.
I respectfully disagree with all who said Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson overacted their parts!! What Daniel is portraying is a stressed Harry who is forced into a dangerous tournament; fighting dragons, encountering vicious deepwater creatures and mad maze of hedges; all the while going through something magic won't be able to eliminate and that is PUBERTY!!! That pkg. includes: crushes, P.O'd best friends etc.!!!
Now, Emma Watson, as Hermione Granger, is worried about Harry and the Triwizard Tournament. who would not be worried if one's closest friend is battling dragons, deepwater creatures and lunatic mazes?? Not to mention being ticked at Ron for getting overly jealous about Krum. And if she was not acting, Emma would make Hermione boring...so...tough vomit!!
Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort (Voldy) is so superb. had the Voldy I imagined down to a science..with a scary image and voice. the interesting thing is there is a quality about Voldemort that strikes me as a man who would eat organic foods and practice Feng Shui and yoga and tai chi, etc. (if you strip all that evil) Madame Maxime, is just who I imagined. tall, big and soooo in loooove with Hagrid. Now I admire the hell out of Steve Kloves for doing the hard task of condensing a 700-page book into a 2 1/2 hour movie. I would have loved to see blast-ended skrewts and the other stuff in the maze. I have always enjoyed the Dursley's getting their comeuppances compliments of Harry Potter and those wild Weasley twins (Dudley eating Ton Tongue Toffees) But...a Potter fan can't get everything they want in a Potter movie without it running the risk of being too long and run-on. All the most important parts were beautifully portrayed. It is a Harry Potter purist's right to complain, but the next time they feel a complaint brewing, they should imagine themselves tryng to condense those fat books into 2 1/2 hour movies!
