A Film Worth Seeing (Contains Spoilers)

Rating: 8/10 (11 July 2007)

The fifth installment of Harry Potter is a fantastic piece of work that defines itself by breaking away from the first two movies in making a dim and almost depressing atmosphere. Accomplishing what 'The Goblet of Fire' attempts at, this film adds action to a fast paced movie that is almost sure to please any Harry Potter fan. Being a fan of the novels as well, I was displeased to see many things either completely neglected or details changed around. If you are a nitpicker of movies and love to point out the differences then I advise you to either wait until the DVD comes out or bite your tongue as this movie is filled with plot changes. The most obvious of which is the downfall in the relationship between Cho and Harry. The casting was, in my opinion, well placed and seeing Luna Lovegood and Dolores Umbridge played out on the big screen was well done. Much like the book, the viewer actually feels a seething loathing for Professor Umbridge and, while she may be odd, feel a sort of awkward love for Ms. Lovegood. Overall, I would rate this film an eight out of ten. While there were things I would have loved to have seen, I do feel that this film has lived up to its word in producing an overall sensation and getting fans like myself properly hyped up for the seventh and final
