Potter films are getting better each time but still needs some improvements.

Rating: Null/10 (19 August 2006)

I am a big fan of the harry potter books and have read all the books at least twice as well I have been following the movies. Anyways Chris Columbus did a mediocre job with the first 2 that would appeal to all ages but mainly kids under 15. When I saw the Prizoner of Azkaban I was more impressed with the movie itself but less impressed with how accuratley Alfonso followed the book. Nevertheless the acting and even the the whole tone of the movie was darker this darkness in TPOA was passed on to the Goblet of Fire. I personally was very impressed with this movie and felt it had a much better flow then movie number 3. Unfortunately the Goblet of fire was my favourite book and I was looking forward to seeing some of my most anticipated parts from the book. For people who have read the book I think that most people who would agree with me that it was vital for the movie to show the scene in the book in the Hospital wing with Cornelius Fudge deniying that Voldemort is back considering that is so important in book number 5 god knows how they'll play that one out. Also many people I talked to were mad about not putting the house elves in but I disagree. If winkee cast the dark mark in the movie it would ruin the whole darkness theme. What I thought was more important was not putting the Dursley's in or not showing Harry giving his Triwizard winnings to Fred and George to start their joke shop. Anyways I've said enough about the book. The movie was great otherwise all the kids have vastly improved in their acting we finally got to see the Ron is not just a comical character and Dan's acting in the graveyard was fantastic. Like most people I agree that Allen Rickman is Proffeser Snape exactley. I just don't quite agree with giving Michael Gambon the part for Albus Dumbledore. He just dosen't have the Dumbledore touch that Richard Harris had. Anyways I give Harry Potter and the goblet of fire 8/10.
