Harry's (Daniel Radcliffe's) fourth year at Hogwarts is about to start and he is enjoying the summer vacation with his friends. They get the tickets to The Quidditch World Cup Final, but after the match is over, people dressed like Lord Voldemort's (Ralph Fiennes') "Death Eaters" set a fire to all of the visitors' tents, coupled with the appearance of Voldemort's symbol, the "Dark Mark" in the sky, which causes a frenzy across the magical community. That same year, Hogwarts is hosting "The Triwizard Tournament", a magical tournament between three well-known schools of magic : Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang. The contestants have to be above the age of seventeen, and are chosen by a magical object called "The Goblet of Fire". On the night of selection, however, the Goblet spews out four names instead of the usual three, with Harry unwittingly being selected as the Fourth Champion. Since the magic cannot be reversed, Harry is forced to go with it and brave three exceedingly difficult tasks.
Leave your thoughts about Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
| Hollywood.comKit BowenThe exhilarating Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire takes the best parts of J.K. Rowling's fourth installment and serves them up in one heck of an action-packed, albeit darker, film. Parents, be forewarned--this isn't kid's stuff anymore. |
| Times-PicayuneMichael KleinschrodtMuch of the credit goes to Radcliffe and his co-stars, who have become better actors with each film. They have become increasingly adept at conveying great emotion as each film demands more of them. |
| Peterborough This WeekMike SageThe latest episode of JK's wonderful allegory of childhood maturity demands your muggle attention |
| Modamag.comSusan GrangerWhat's amazing about the Harry Potter franchise is that the films get better and better! Or, as Harry puts it, 'I love magic!' |
| Three Movie BuffsScott NashNot just the best Harry Potter movie so far. It's also one of the most entertaining movies of the year. |
| Sean the Movie GuySean McBrideit's still a lot of fun, but you can sense all of the missing material which makes this Harry Potter not quite up to par with the other three installments. |
| FilmStew.comBrett BuckalewOnce Potter ditches scenes that feel taken from Beverly Hills 90210 meets Scooby-Doo, I will approach the series with more than just guarded optimism. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseNewell's film, unlike its predecessors, fails to generate fresh wonder...but on balance Rowling's creative opus--roiling with hormonal consequences and eye-popping effects--continues to earn its crowds. [Blu-ray] |
| SlateDavid EdelsteinNo, I couldn't be more pleased with what the screenwriter, Steven Kloves, and the director, Mike Newell, have wrought this time. |
| Digital SpyDaniel SaneyAll in all, Goblet of Fire is certainly the best Potter yet, with most of the cast doing their roles justice, some great direction and Steven Kloves' screenplay makes the core of Rowling's novel into a fast-paced but easily-comprehensible enjoyable movie. |
