I still feel there is too much missing in this film and I did not read the book.

In 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire' the gang has returned to Hogwarts for yet another school year. This year is special, for Hogwarts is to host the TriWizard tournament. Contestants from rival schools (Beauxbatons Academy and the Durmstrang Institute) have come to participate. This is a very dangerous competition, so dangerous that only one upperclassman from each school can compete. However, when Harry Potter's name is selected as a fourth contestant, the involvement of the evil Voldemort is suspect.
This is the fourth installment of J.K. Rowling's series of Harry Potter books. I did like this much better than the last film 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban', but I still think the first two were better. On it own merits, there is very little character development if any in this movie. You do not really learn much about the new characters that are introduced. Plus you can see several areas where there holes in the plot. I feel these books are getting just too big to cram into one movie. This book should have been made in to two films. It is two and a half hours long, but the time goes by really fast.
I think the director (Mike Newell) did a better job bring the look and feel of Hogwarts than the director (Alfonso Cuarón) of the last. Be that as it may, I still feel there is too much missing in this film and I did not read the book.
