Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Rating: 8/10 (13 July 2007)

Wow, poor Harry just can't get a break and a decent year at Hogwarts? Well, I just completed the series that is on DVD at least, hoping to see the new Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix this weekend with my friends, looking forward to it. I'm glad I finally broke down and watched these movies, I knew I had to give in some time since these films are just going to keep coming, you know? Well, The Goblet of Fire is so far the darkest Harry Potter I've seen, but also the best. I loved the whole concept of how Harry can face evil magic, wizards, and dragons, but his scariest time yet: the truth about the birds and the bees. So far I have to say that Goblet of Fire is my favorite Harry Potter film.
Harry is now in his fourth year in Hogwarts and there is a huge contest that is going on for a grand prize, only thing is from each wizard school, only one is chosen to win the prize and you must be 17 or older to enter, but for some odd reason Harry is chosen to participate even though he is only 14. Facing extremely difficult obstacles, he pulls through and makes it in time for the big ball dance that Hogwarts is throwing and he and Ron must find a way to get a date. But there is more trouble when Lord Voldemort is finally about to rise and I don't think Harry is on his good side.
The Goblet of Fire was a brilliant movie and is probably my new favorite of the Harry Potter films. It had amazing effects and great acting as usual. It was different as well since the kids are now a little more grown up, so they are facing scary adventures, but it's very exciting to watch. I cannot wait for the Order of Phoenix and see where Harry Potter will take us next. Then I guess it's off to the books since I should probably see what everyone is talking about when they say how the books don't compare to the films.
8/10
