GOF not POA
I agree with the previous reviewer. Prisoner of Azkaban, in my opinion was the best book in the Harry Potter series and the POA movie was the best one in the series so far. The POA movie was magical(sic) and stunning. Michael Cuaron was great at handling the difficult "Time Travel" concept and made the movie extremely enjoyable.Goblet of Fire on the other hand looks like an express train only intent on arriving at its destination with no time for passing sceneries. Everything except the Yule ball and the tournaments are a fast blur and I particularly felt the rushed script kind of took away the essence of the movie. Snape, Draco, Sirius and even Skeeter are just for scene fillers with nothing much to do. Gambon is unconvincing as Dumbledore. I feel that the director could have handled the movie more creatively.That said, the DVD is great.
