Doesn't Top Prisoner of Azkaban but Still A Great Film

Rating: 9/10 (23 December 2013)

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire again exceeds the first two films, but unfortunately doesn't top the excellent Prisoner of Azkaban.
I personally think this film should've been called Harry Potter and the Triwizard Tournament but as this film does revolve around who put Harry Potter's name in the Goblet of Fire (which led him to competing in a very dangerous series of tasks), I will let it lie.
Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter (who clearly hasn't visited his hairdressers since Prisoner of Azkaban) shines. Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley (who, again, clearly hasn't seen his hairdressers either) makes good work out of his character, including some very funny moments. Emma Watson is brilliant as Hermione Granger, and looks beautiful in the Yule Ball scene. Also, James and Oliver Phelps as troublesome twins Fred and George Weasley are great to watch, and are now my new favourite characters.
The appearances of Brendan Gleeson as a crazy Mad Eye Moody, Edward Cullen (I mean Robert Patterson) as a slightly cocky Cedric Diggory and David Tennant as a scary Barty Crouch Jr also make this movie a joy to watch.
The three trials Harry and the other contestants face are exciting and in excellent CGI form. Also, the Goblet of Fire mystery also has a few shocks in store, and reveals that Mad Eye Moody is not really Mad Eye Moody at all.
Overall, a very gripping movie but doesn't rise to the high level of Prisoner of Azkaban.
