Growing up with magic

Rating: 10/10 (19 November 2005)

I have been an avid reader of Harry Potter for years and have been fortunate enough to grow up with it, which is why I am such a huge fan. So far I have loved all the books as well as all the movies and I can confidently say that I loved this movie just as much. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire movie may well have had parts taken out, but I think this was done cleverly, and I'd much rather see this movie as it is than two separate ones with a lot of dragging, unnecessary detail. I do feel that several characters should have been put in though, such as Ludo Bagman and Winky the house elf. Nevertheless, I still thought the movie was absolutely fantastic. I thought the script was great - whilst in some cases scenes tended to jump, it was still wonderful as I never felt bored and was always grasped by the story - extremely important in any movie. In addition, I thought the actors all did justice to their roles; especially Daniel Radcliffe as Harry. All in all a majestic piece of work - all the money invested was worthwhile and it will be loved by millions around the world. Harry Potter overall is totally amazing; all the books have been, as have the movies, and I am extremely lucky as a fourteen - nearly fifteen - year old to have truly grown up with a dose of magic.
