Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Pros: Performances, Action sequences, Visuals
Cons: Not quite as captivating overall as Prisoner of Azkaban

I’ve decided that I’m done watching every Harry Potter movie and comparing it to the book of the same name. It simply serves no purpose at this point to whine about those things left out of each installment, or complain that so-and-so ...

Pros: Very entertaining movie that stayed fairly close to the book.
Cons: Some characters under used. Voldemort's snake. I missed some of what was left out.

In November of 2001, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, the first movie based on a book in the very popular Harry Potter series of books, was released. By that time, I had read the first three books and was hooked ...

Pros: Richardson, effects, sets...
Cons: ... just didn't seem to come together very well...

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the first of the Harry Potter films I’ve seen, and is based on my second-favourite of the series so far (coming just behind the previous book, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban). Everyone ...

Pros: Daniel Radcliffe and cast, story, direction
Cons: Long and reminiscent of other fantasy series

A force of evil is returning to the life of Harry Potter in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire. The signs start while Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and friends Hermione Grainger (Emma Watson) and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) attend the Quidditch ...

Pros: interesting story, great special effects, good movie
Cons: too open ended, too much missing from the book, not emotional enough

Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire is the fourth movie, of a seven book series written by J.K. Rowling. With the successes of the first three films, it was a given that there would be more sequels coming, and regardless of reviews or critics, this film ...

Pros: Trimming some book-fat; better acting from the kids; effects, strong emotional points...
Cons: Music, too much going on for a "normal-sized" movie...

I've read all six books in the Harry Potter series, but so far my favorite is Book 4: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. And since I've liked the Harry Potter movies for what they are so far--fairly faithful adaptations, with likeable actors and some ...

Pros: Harry Potter starts to grow up and get some new issues.
Cons: He doesn't grow up nearly enough. This series is getting tired.

Adolescence is a time of changes - some for the better, some for the worse, but all of them unsettling. So it goes for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the darkest installment of the franchise. This time out, Harry's plate is full of changes - some ...

Pros: Great cast continues to dazzle
Cons: Doesn't stand well on its own

While I do love the Harry Potter films very much, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is so far my least favorite one of the series. I think this movie serves as a great transitional piece between the last film and the next one, but as a ...

Pros: Judicious editing of complicated plot; fine acting overall; some lovely moments added
Cons: Still some plot confusion; fizzled ending; Michael Gambon

It can be difficult viewing a film version of a beloved book, especially a book you know well. And if it's a challenge to view such a film, I can only hazard a guess at the complexity of bringing such a film to the screen, especially when you know said ...

Pros: Visuals, Cast/Acting, Story
Cons: Doesn't do the book justice

Synopsis: Harry Potter continues with year 4 at the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardy. In this episode, Harry takes part in the Tri-Wizard Cup against competitors Fleur Delacour from Beauxbatons, Viktor Krum from Durmstrang and classmate ...

Pros: Overall great adaptation
Cons: A few scenes truncated, occasional bad acting

Even though I've just started reading the book this year, I've been watching the Harry Potter movies all along. When this movie hit theaters, I was captivated by it to the point of almost picking up the books to find out what happened next. I saw the ...

Pros: packed with wonderful moments great and small, most of the cast
Cons: so much had to be cut, Michael Gambon

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows comes out this year. I hope. Profusely. Of course, once it does, that means there will be no more Harry Potter books left, and I will most likely find myself in a state of depression after I finish the ...

Pros: Known characters in new situations. An epic story.
Cons: Director Mike Newell. Patrick Doyle's music. Technically average at best. Doesn't relate the grand scope.

Note: I have read only the first four Harry Potter books. Take that as you will. Isn't this inevitable in any cinematic series? Maybe even more so given all of the behind-the-scenes changes between the Harry Potter films? Isn't ...

Pros: An action-oriented film in which good and evil are clearly defined
Cons: Not a standalone film

Himself and Yours Truly have just returned from viewing Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the most recent film adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s well-known “children’s” series. We enjoyed the movie, and it was well worth the $7 ...

Pros: Newell's Direction, Cinematography, Music, Visual Effects, Scenes, & Cast. Most of all, Ralph Fiennes.
Cons: What Got Cut from the Book to Script & Michael Gambon.

When Chris Columbus left the franchise for the Harry Potter film adaptations after directing the first two of the film series. Many fans wondered who would replace Columbus as Warner Brothers chose Mexican director Alfonso Cuaron to helm the third ...
