Awkward Wizard Fun!?!

Rating: 9/10 (11 January 2006)

Very Phony News
Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire is a surprisingly charming and refreshing interpretation of the continuing misadventures of our young heroes at the dysfunctional school of Hogwarts. It begins naturally at the Quidditch Cup, an ongoing source of weird games. Before the players get to play very many games, they receive unexpected guests that would never win a fashion contest. Dumbledore? Best to cut it there!
Despite our best efforts, they return to Hogwarts were Mr. Goblet selects Harry Potter a.k.a Daniel R. a.k.a cheater to the Tri wizard Tournament??? Blah blah blah. Blah blah blah. There is one segment of the story that is totally gay! Don't worry, you can't miss it. Potter et al (Emma W.) (Rupert G.) have a very challenging time. At last, our troubled if misunderstood friend Voldermort returns.
Overall, the movie is a substantial improvement over the last. Better acting; better directing, and the rest. For that, it is a 9/10.
