Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

[White Falcon]

Spoiler Free so read on with confidence.

Ok having read the first five books numerous times, and trying to get around to the sixth, I know my Potter. I went into the theatre knowing I would enjoy this film even if it was horrible, yet I tried to keep an open mind. I must comment as other more experienced reveiwers already have that the main trio of actors have aged well and gained great talent over the past three films. Of these three great young actors I feel that Grint and Radcliffe have gained the most. Though Watson was as great and charming as ever, Hermione undoubtedly being one of my favorite characters of the book series. Perhaps more so than any other in the movies, I feel she really captures the character. I promise I won't give anything away to the very few reading this that might not have read the books but this movie posesses the very soul of the book, every emotion, nuance and sensation. From begining to end it sweeps you in, right from the start. Personaly I have to comment, being my only problem, that I felt the begining almost too quick. Though any Potter fan will know whats going on, I would imagine the few that do not read the books would be a bit confused. Ofcourse if you never watched or read anything pertaining to Harry Potter you will most likely have many questions, leaving you a bit disoriented. Only a handfull of characters have been cut, and a slight change was ofcourse needed, but this sort of adaption is needed for the transition from book to movie to work. All said I think this was by far the best of the series, from special effects, lighting and flow to acting, delivery and heart. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.

I say, if you like fantasy, magic, or adventure GO SEE THIS MOVIE!

On to the Fifth! :D

Thanks for reading my review and please refrain from replies consisting of spoilers pertaining to the movies or books, especialy book six as I have yet to read it. Thank you.
