Great, but to short

Rating: 9/10 (18 November 2005)

I went to Harry Potter and the goblet of fire on the premiere 18.th November in Norway. I have read all the books so far and was looking forward to this movie, but I got a little disappointed for the first time. First of all the plot from the Quidish world cup, when the dark mark appeared was changes too much from what happens in the book. So that just made it to bad. We also got introduced to the real bad guy to fast, in the book it takes longer time, and we can not know who made the Dark mark at first, here we new right away. That spoiled much of the excitement of watching the movie. And for the second reason characters who was important for that plot in the book wasn't even mentioned in the film. We did not meet the Dursleys, we did not meet Mrs.Weasley, the house-elfs and they where important I thought at least.
So this is the first time I can't give a full pot to the Harry Potter movies. It was a great film, but to short I say. Titanic lasted 4 hours, and Harry Potter could last just as long with no problem for audience. Many where unhappy about it going bang-bang-bang finished. The story between all the excitement where lost and that is just to bad.
so I am really nice giving it a 9 out of 10. I was thinking about 8 mostly, but it is Harry Potter, so I gave it a 9. It is a much darker film, but it seems like it have been hurried to cut it a leave out important plots and what would make it a much better movie. I hope the DVD will have a longer version than the theatrical release. We need at least 1 hour more for this movie than we got. So I am a little disappointed. DVD must have a longer version with the Dursleys, with Mrs.Weasley, Conversations with Black, the house-elfs etc. This was to short and to fast to get the story right. So for the first time I think it wasn't good enough as the others stayed much more like the books. Must be fixed for the order of the phoenix. And by the way all 7 films must have Daniel Radcliffe and the others in it, or the whole series will be stupid. Can not change an actor in the middle of a series, when everyone have gotten used to them. It will be stupid and flop totally if the same actors ain't used in all 7 movies. The books is going to be 7 and we are following them as they get older, as in real life, so it can not be a change in the actors later. I just worries because word say Daniel Radcliffe and the others have only signed up for the 5th so far. But they need to sign up for the last 2 also. This is possibly also the opinion of the world.
