Good, but could/should have been better.

Rating: 6/10 (27 November 2005)

The Goblet of Fire was one of my favorite books in the series, but the movie does not capture the magic of the book. My feeling was that the film was rushed, and very brief. They failed to elaborate on the characters and the plot The first 150 pages in the book are compacted into 10 minutes of film, and the yule ball(which is not an essential to the plot)was drawn out and boring. Snape, McGonagall, Hagrid,Malfoy and Dumbledore all have small roles, and they give the best performances out of the whole cast. Moody was well portrayed, and so was Voldemort(although he looked like something from Men in Black). Some characters were completely cut out of the story, such as Dobby the house elf, and Ludo Bagman. Finally, I think that Harry, Ron, Fred, and George should all get haircuts because they look doofy with that hair. This movie was good, worth the 10 bucks, but did not live up to the book.
