Afraid of CGI?
I'm a huge fan of both the HP books and the films, and I must say that the Goblet of Fire movie is the best of the 4. However, that being said, I got the distinct impression that Mike Newell was afraid of using CGI characters (mainly Dobbie), thereby changing a lot of the book unnecessarily to eliminate or minimize its use. I realize there's no way to fit 700+ pages into a 2 1/2 hour movie, but staying at least close to the original story would've been nice.I hope the director of Order of the Phoenix has actually read the book and plans to stick a little closer to Jo Rowling's story.
