Disappointing, but Still Flippin' Awesome!

Rating: 8/10 (19 November 2005)

I went to see the movie, thinking it would be the best I ever saw. As the movie started, I was stunned. My first disappointment came when they cut out the Quidditch World Cup (except the campgrounds and walking to their seat). I really wanted to see the veela, and some Quidditch, because for the Triwizard Tournament, Quidditch was out of the movie. Then came the first challenge. They only showed Harry fighting the dragon, and they didn't even show the Chinese Fireball. The Yule Ball and the events leading up to it were hilarious, and I thought Hagrid "putting his moves" on Madme Maxime was particularly funny. The second task didn't disappoint, but it left me wanting more. There were two things I noticed about the third task. First, it was supposed to be in the Quidditch Field. And the second was that they left all of the creatures out, I particularly wanted to see the Sphinx. Voldemort looked good, but the whole thing with him was a little short. In the end, it was good, but not enough.
