Not the Best - But Good
Somehow, I feel that the director didn't quite get it right. I agree that they should focus on the mundane aspects of the kids' lives, but there's almost no magic except in the major suspense scenes. Personally, I thought Azkaban was the best of the movie adaptations. Somehow, I just thought the script was better written. And, most importantly, I just love Cuáron's visual style. Admittedly, though, I've always had a bias toward art films, and that's what he primarily does. Anyway, Goblet of Fire isn't quite as good as it could be, but still well worth the money.
