I really liked GOF i thought it was really good.I agree with Dan when he says the films are getting better and better.I think that the books are always better because they have so much more information in them but, i think that otherwise GOF was great.

I completely loved this movie. I think Dan, Emma, and Rupert are getting to be better and better actors in every film. The special effects were so amazing! I was totally blown away with the Hungarian Horntail sequence. It was different than I expected, but I suppose it would look different in everyone's head.

The only vital scene that was missing that I really wanted to see was the Quidditch World Cup. There was so much building up to it, so I was very disappointed that it wasn't included. I think not having the actual game in the film took away from the amazingness of Viktor Krum. In the book he's this big hotshot superstar, but since we didn't see him really play Quidditch, he seemed to just be a normal guy, kind of like Cedric, who is kind of good at Quidditch. The people I know that didn't read the books but only saw the film didn't know why it was such a big deal when Krum was selected as a champion and asked Hermione to the ball. But overall, I think it was okay that they didn't put in the Skrewts and stuff.

I thought Miranda Richardson (Rita Skeeter) was FABULOUS!!! She was so funny. I only wish that we had found out that she was an animagus and everything. Overall, though, she was SO perfect for the part and did an amazing job.

I really thought Ralph Fiennes (Voldemort) did a great job. That whole graveyard sequence was really spooky and pretty terrifying. The only part that wasn't quite how I imagined was Priori Incantatum. It just didn't seem right. The "shadows" of the people were perfect, but the gold bead and the Expelliarmus and Avada Kedrava meeting was too bright and looked like coloured lightning. Everything else was FABULOUS though.

when i first watched the GOF i thaught it was briliant really good but after a while it was sort of a let down alot of scenes were cut E.g. the quidditch world cup match that was one of the things i was looking forward to also i wanted to see fred and george give dudley that tone tounge toffe

Dont get me rong i still like the movie

I didn't really like it. It got kinda boring after a while 'cause all you saw was the tournament. They left out the house elves, Ludo Bagman, percy, s.p.e.w, hogsmead trips, sirius, and lots of other stuff. I was really disappointed when they left out Harry throwing a badge at Ron. I thought that would've looked sooo funny.

I also think that Dan and Rupert grew their hair out too long! They looked like girls!!!!

Well, I think Dan's hair was okay... it was long enough to look messy, which is how Harry's hair is supposed to look. However, when I saw a commercial for the movie, my twin sister and I both cried, "What did Rupert Grint do to his hair???!!!!" He did look like a girl, though. It was kind of creepy.

I liked this movie. I think they portrayed the graveyard scene very well. I was very glad that they didn't cut out the part with Wormtail chopping off his arm, though. If they did, I would be worried that they were trying to appeal to younger viewers. It just kind of made the scene more... intense. Thank goodness it was dark, though!

I was also glad that they didn't cut out all of Ron's arguments that they had in the book. First it's with Harry and the Goblet of Fire, then it's with Hermione and 'mingling with the enemy' or something like that (I could never spell the exact word he used), I think these fights really show Ron's personality, and I was really glad they put them in the movie!
"Ron would like me to tell you that Dean told him... (etc. etc.)" I loved that scene! It was so funny.

i did love it! it was fantastic!! i think it was darker but that was such i good thing. But yes i thought the quidditch world cup was cut to short, i wanted to see the match.

I liked it as a film but i thought that if you had not seen the other movies or read the books
you would not of got the whole thing,
i loved the comic relief element set in this one,
In every movie there is a best performance,
in this one i think Voldemort took it home,you relly did believe him to be the dark lord,
anyway from the young actors i liked the scenes with ron and the twins

Well I really didn't like it much...

I really liked the movie. I knew what was going to happen and I still felt the rush of adreneline. There were only a few things I would have liked to have seen; I would have wanted to see Harry and Sirius talking in the cave, Fleur be discovered as a Veela, Rita Skeeter discovered as a beetle, the minister's disbelief that Voldemort is back and how he treats Harry about it, Harry giving his winnings to the twins and Professor Snape showing the doubting minister his Dark Mark.

If these were already mentioned I'm sorry; I saw this thread and got excited!

It was alright. There were many scenes I disagreed with. many. It wasn't my favorite, but I liked it.

Ive seen the movie i got to say it was great. espeically the end with the souls thing. 2 things that bothered me was that it wasent accurate to the book at all and also it cut some cool parts out 2.

Well... The movie in general is really good, but I think it would be better. They didn't put and explain very important things in that, like Winky, Jorkins...
and I didn't like Dumbledore's performance when Harry's name appear on the Goblet of Fire. Dumbledore is more calm and polite. He isn't so angry and nervous that way...

It was a brilliant movie all in all and i loved it. Though we should have expected the cuts and that some of the scenes are not as accurate as we have read in the book. But it was a pretty well made movie i must say.

It was alright. I don't think it could have possibly lived up to POA. Dan's hair was alright, but it does look much better in the upcoming film. It was certainly much darker, I like that Hermione finally just out told Ron and let her feeling slip out a bit. Cedric's death was sad though... . And I couldn't even imagine what Voldermort would look like, they did a good job on him! I'll post some more thoughts later, after I watch the movie again

I thought it was pretty good (I mean come on, its Harry Potter!) but I thought it could have been much better. They cut out many scenes and people that I was looking forward to, such as Dobby returning, the Quidditch Match, etc. Another thing I didn't like was how they changed the Maze in the TriWizard Tournament. I was really looking forward to the sphinx and the giatn spiders and spells and what-not, I thought they took the easy way out with that "living-plant" thing. All in all it was pretty good, definitely one of my favorite movies. Rather choppy though.

I absolutely loved it!!!!!! They did a great job of getting in what info they could. I loved the Yule Ball, the tasks, and the battle with Voldy. I can't wait for the next one!!!!

I think the movie was wonderful. It is by far the best of the four made.
Even thought I love all of Harry Potters movies!
I just love the Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire.

What did i think of GoF?

The book was awsome! I loved it. But the movie, I am sorry to say, i was also disapointed about it. The movie had cut out so many parts and it was so confusing. The only reason i understood it, was because i read the book soo many times. My sister who didn't even read it once, thought it was very confusing and she barely understood it. I expected that movie to be the best one. And that one part in the book were Dobby brings Harry the seaweed that he can breath underwater, was different in the movie. The book mentioned Dobby and Winky so many times, and the movie didnt even have a glimpse of them. I didn't enjoy the movie much. I hope the OotP is alot better!

it was so stupid...i loved the book i am re-reading it right now...but oh my gosh it was confusing...well for a newbie

Ok. This is going to be short and to the point. The only BIG thing I didn't like about GOF is they cut out Harry throwing a 'Potter Really Stinks' badge at Ron's head after Harry had talked with Sirius. It was my favourite bit.
See Ya
Love Megs

Excellent It is Brilliant! I loved the Quidditch World Cup with all the Death Eaters and stuff I thought the script was absaloutly WICKID I can not wait until Ootp comes out! I hope they do an excellent job of that!
p.s is there a forum of how people want Order Of The Pheonix Video Game?

The goblit of fire was entertaining but it left out almost all of the charecter development. I mean all they really did was show the turnement with a few scenas inbetween tascks. They left out S.B. almost completly. I think they shouldn't have drawn out the tasks so that they were longer then in the book and left more room for charecter development. However I really like what they did with Nevill and mad eye moddy. still i think it was not as good as its predeccesours but was very entertaining all the same.

Ok, i thought it was the worst Harry Potter film so far. Sorry to all those who loved it-please don't kill me!

It's just too much stuff was left out and it was all squashed together and didn't make much sense.

They took out important stuff and put in usless stuff not even in the book! (Eg, the whole Professor MacGonagall teaching them how to dance)

I loved the house-elfs in this book-i was looking forward to it!

Plus i wanted to see Hermione try to involve everyone into spew.

That would be so funny!

Ok, so on a scale of troll-outstanding, i'd give it a poor.

I'm stuck between GoF and PoA. In my opinion PoA's movie was COMPLETELY void of all the information that was in the book! GoF changed it's storyline a bit yeah, but...PoA devoided us of all th information that we were suppose to find out. I didn't read any of the books till AFTER GoF came out on DVD! o.O was curious at everyone mumbling and complaining how it was changed and what was left out! in the 3rd movie we were suppose to find out ALOT about james and co....the 5th book we find out info about his mother. i hope they don't change that either!! O.O anyways, after seeing PoA i felt completely...empty! i had this funny notion in the back of my head that i was MISSING something. that it was too squashed together and ran through. one minute their talking about this, the next there in a completely different area talking about something else it was just too...squashed together!!! *sighs* GoF compared to PoA was a bit better. the story was changed and ALOT was cut out...but still the important stuff got put in right?

Well with PoA being my favourite of the four I want Alfonso back! I thought GoF was really rushed, no time for any real character development in there...which seems to be a popular opinion with this film. I understand it is hard with such a huge book, I still don't understand why they couldn't lengthen it to three hours. Don't like the Dumbledore, too aggressive.
But I still loved it because it is a Hp movie, let's hope Ootp outdoes them all.

PoA was also my favorite movie so far. I agree that they cut out very important scenes. I felt bad that Sirius did not have such a big role in the movie as he did in the book. In the book, his character talks with Harry a lot, but in the movie, he was barely in it! That's what I don't like about it because all the people who are addicted to only the movies won't really mind when Sirius... well... moves on. But all of us book lovers will be bawling our eyes out. I also wonder if Dan will make as big of a deal as Harry did in the book. Because then people will be highly confused and wonder why he is so attached to Sirius when Sirius hasn't even been a part of his life as a fourth year.

I also wish we would've seen more of the World Cup. It didn't really have a part in the movie and I wish it would have because it was an awesome sequence in the book.

The Yule Ball was amussing, but I do think that they should have cut it down a little bit and replaced that time with more important parts of the overall story.

Amy <3 GoF

I loved this film

its probably my favourite of the harry potter films.

i mean i like them all but this one was my favourite [IThink?]

Anyone wanna add [lol]

xxx

It was auesome it had lots of action in it with sequences of dark magic.My favorite part was when Cedric had just died Harry was dueling with Vlodemort and all the people Voldemort had killed came and held Voldemort back so Harry could escape.A close second was when harry asked Cho Chang out at the owlery b=it was so embarrasing lol.

O.k. this may come as a dissapointment, but, i absolutly hated it. They mutilated the book ! No house elfs, the mini Viktor Krum, The Leprechauns, the Veela, the Weighing of the wands, and about 50 million other things! I have the movie, and i cant watch it with out falling asleep in the middle of it! O.k., I cried the first time i saw it, but after the first 5 or 6 times it gets borring. specally when theres no knew movies or books out right now .

It was by far the best movie they diddddddddddd, BUT it was full of mistakes!
If i`ll try to write all the mistakes they did it probably take me hours, but i`ll try to write couple of them...
first of all: why did dumbledore YELLED AND SHOUTED at Harry after his name was extras of the goblet of fire? That was so untipically Dumbledore...this was a very big mistake.
Then, when harry and ron weren`t talking to each other, hermione`s was there with harry all the time, spending a lot time with him, and trying to tell them to get along! When she came with ginny and ron, then shouting " I AM NOT AN OWL!" that was so so so wrong!
Barty Crouch? how did he died? no-one from who didn`t read the books and saw just the movie doesn`t know.
And it was so little at the end of the movie... they got it so wrong! It had to came sirius, and the other see that he is on their side, they had to represent something like the war is starting, that all is different... they just put hermione said: "everything is going to be different now, isn`t it?" so so so wrong... they could of make it better... and they weren`t absolutely attentive to the books...they just concentrate to the triwizard tournament...they thought this is the most important thing...but of course it weren`t! There were so much more complex things and oh... so dissapointing..and frustrating..

I totaly Agree. The made way to many mistades. I just hope they dont do that to ootp, because im fine with no quiddich, but if they muttalate it any mores, i will be sooooo angry.

i think the 4th film is easy the best one out so far..but i would have liked to have seen the world cup match i really enjoyed reading that chapter i also didnt like the maze scene i would have liked to have seen the obsticals instead of have the bushes closing in on them

i really didnt like how emma acted in the flm it was like she was over acting or something and made hermione seem stuck up..i really liked her in the other films she seemed more realistic in them in the Gof she tryed to hard to be one take watson and it didnt work for me

I don't really care for the movies as a whole. I was really excited about the first two I thought they did a great job. Then they changed directors and the sets changed. That ****ed me off. I didn't like the third one. The fourth one I think was the worst. I relize it is a movie and they can't put everything in there that was in the book but I thought they could have done better. The maze was horrible the completely changed it. I don't see why that was necessary at all. They could have kept it pretty much the same with limited time. Dumbledore I thought was horrible. Now I know you can't bring someone back from the dead but I thought the new actor, sorry don't know his name, did not nail the flavor of the character. At some points in the movie he seemed flustered. Particularly after Harry's name is thrown out of the goblet. Dumbledore in the books is never flustered he is calm cool and knows exactly what to do. The embelished the dragon task to much. Harry ended up flying around the castle that never happened. It was unneccesary and took up time. If there so worried about length of the movie cut out nonsense like that and add more to the maze or other things missed completely in th book. Overall I think that they rushed into making these movies to soon and did not really plan them out as well as could be hoped. This is do to the characters aging and not being able to fit the roll after years between each movie. I think they should have waited. Don't get me wrong they arn't bad movies they just are not what I expected after the first two. I do not think they do the books justice.

I absolutely love it! Actually I am watching it right now! I love Fred and George in this movie! I love the way they are acting in this movie! And madeye moody is so funny in it! Actually right now MadEye just turned Malfoy into a ferret! Ha ha! LOL! "We never use Transfiguration as punishment! Surely Dumbledore has told you that?" "He might have mentioned it." LOL! Anyway so far it is my favorite movie out of all 4! I have soem high expectations for the fifth movie now that the fourth was so great!

i agree kaili! out of the 4 movies it's my fav! though i must admite the first time i saw it i didn't like it cuz well i went with some friends and they ended up fghting so i was mad and i didn't enjoy the movie but then i rented it and saw it and i loved it! expecially the graveyard part! oo and i do love fred and george in the movie!
ron is also very amusing in this one over all my fav! maybe it's cuz the 4h book is my fav too! maybe that wil change after the 5th comes out!

I had to get used to the looks of the actors. Specifically Malfoy looked really great and in-character in the first two movies and he changed a lot. Watching it a second time was not so bad though and I got used to them.

What I was erally upset about was the Quidditch Worldcup. This was the biggest disapointment in the movie IMO. They made such a great show at introducing it, and then *BAM* and suddenly it was over without knowing what happened or even showing a single sequence of it. The could have cut the **** dragon fight, but of course that was an opportunity to show off and get the watcher excited, so they had to do it.

What I also totally disliked is that the setting of the castlegrounds is so different throughout the movies. In the first two it was pretty much as described, but then suddenly hogwarts is on a mountain and the willow tree (don't know the english name but I mean the one hitting the car) was suddenly in a totally different place. There was absolutely no reason to change the locations that much, even if a new director is doing it. All in all I really liked the first two installments. The other two were not so bad, but not as good as they could have been. Still looking forward to the next movie, but somehow I fear it might get worse.

Ok, i think i may have already posted my opinion in here, but i'm going to post it again, as i can't exactly remember:

I hated it.

It just wasn't what i expected. The trailor looked as if it was going to be so cool, but it just wasn't. My favourite part i was looking forward to was the house-elf liberation front, and it wasn't in!

I mean, when i saw they wern't in it, i was all like-how's Harry going to get gillyweed if there's no Dobby? And then i saw it being Neville, and i just wanted to scream!

I hate how they change stupid things like that!

They change things that make no difference Eg. Hermione's line in PS-well, i hope you're pleased with yourselves! We coulnd't have gotten killed! Or worse-expelled! Now if you don't mind, i'm going to bed! That was from the book (Or somewhat like that) when in the movie, they changed the format to "No-if you two don't mind, I'm going to bed, before either of you can come up with another cleaver idea to get us killed-or worse, expelled!"

I mean, it's not going to make a difference, so why change it? If they kept it the same, woulnd't people like the movie MORE?

It's just trivial things like that in GoF that make me kill the director so i can take over.

They may have missed a lot out in the GoF movie that was in the book but i still think it was absolutely brilliant!! It is my favourite HP movie so far though that will probably change once i see OotP!!

I liked the movie, but mourn the variations from the book's plot. There were so many subplots that were cast aside, or rendered useless because of the way the themes were developed.

I was surprized that the Weasleys did not get to be in the Minister's "Top Box" alongside Lucious Malfoy and family. I thought it looked like some of the group, including Harry were wearing Bulgaria's colors for the game, which was adverse to the book. I would have liked the Death Eaters to have actually been "muggle baiting" as they were in the book.

Unlike some others I thought all the time spent flying around with the Dragon, could have been used somewhere else, like having the actual obstacles in the Maze, or showing more Quidditch. After all the Dragon would have stayed around the egg nest (not just the one golden egg) because she was a nursing mother, rather than breaking a chain and flying out away from the arena.

I wish Dobby had been there to hand Harry the gilly weed.

I am sure there is more, but from what I've seen of the other posts, this movie has already been fairly raked over the coals.

However, given the restrictions of making an 800 page book into a 2 hr movie, I was really pleased with the result.

The changes they made to the plot for the movie version of GOF worked well. However, for the people who loved the book, the movie was all wrong, so many changes ruined the movie. I just hope they learn from their mistakes and DONT ruin the last three movies.

I thought it was really good. It had some funny bits in like when Snape was pushing Harry and Ron's heads to the table to make then work and Ron dancing with Mcgonagall. But I also thought it was really dark at the end. It did a really good job with Voldemort. They made me scared!
But I think they could of put more about the quidditch world up into the start and included Winky because I thought she was quite a big part.

But still the movies can never reach the skill of the books. Every film misses out big chunks from the books and if your a fanatic and read the books 24/7 like me the films are always a little disapointing.

I think that they made the Yule Ball too big. They made it like, almost the climax of the movie when it really wasn't. I think that they cut too much out, like Barty! What the heck happened to him? And they completely cut Winky out, and also there was barely any backstory! Plus i don't like how they made Dumbledore so angry all the time! When Harry's name was pulled out of the Goblet, he grabbed Harry and started shaking him. I was like, are you serious? And Hermione was so dramatic in everything she said. . .it was hard to believe. There was too much backstory cut out. I think it is a movie where if you hadn't read the books, you wouldn't be able to understand it at all. So yeah, my final verdict. . .2 stars out of 5.

i thought it was HORRIBLE!!!! they left out way to much important things such as they dont show crouch become missing.
they changed he way he died.
he never came staggering out of the woods.
theres no dobby, winky
i really wanted to see the kitchen


all in all i thought the first 3 were a whole lot better

I would have to say this movie had a very British feel unlike PoA which was more European. I don't really like the way they approached it. I was entertained by the 'English Boarding School' theme and feel but I would've loved it if they would have made it a bit more darker or more serious. It felt like they didn't take it serious enough for me. They made a big deal of things that could've been only small and completely cut out bits that could've made the movie great.

But overall I was entertained.

I just watched the movie for the umpteenth time today, and I finished re-reading the book yesterday. While I totally respect the inability of the films to capture everything that made the books so magical (pun intended!) there is a lot of important character development missing, IMO, that would have been solved with one scene.

First of all, where was Sirius? Harry wrote to him once, spoke to him in the fire once, and that was it! He should have been there at the end to see the last task and then in Dumbledore's office to find out what happened, which leads me to my next lacking character...

Dumbledore! The growing bond between he and Harry is missing from the films. If they had shown the scene in Dumbledore's office, when he questions Harry with Sirius standing by, or even if they had moved that dynamic into the hospital wing where, as someone else mentionned, we could have seen Snape and Sirius be forced to acknowledge one another - there should have been more between DD and Harry and Sirius should have been much more involved.

The lack of Sirius is much more pressing, as his fate in the next movie will lack the same emotional punch in the films as it had in the books. We need to see Sirius becoming Harry's go-to father figure. This bothers me every time I watch the movie

i loved it!!! it's my favorite current movie. (chamber of secrets close second.)

I thought it was terrible. It bareley related to the book at all. Definatly least favorite movie so far. I mean what the heck was up with the maze like moving. They had no creatures in the maze and winky and dobby wernt in it. They didnt show the world cup or harry going back to the dursleys wich we all no is very important for him to do every year. They also dont have anyting with ron and hermione. They basically fight the whole year and this doesnt happen in the movie. I was very dissapointed.

Out of the four movies made thus far, I have to say that Goblet of Fire is way ahead in points as my least favorite. I thought the incredible chop job they did with the screenwriting was evident in that many crucial parts were simply left out of the book. Yes, Quidditch wasn't that important but there were many plots centered around the World Cup scene that were vital to the plot of GoF and future books. When they were cut, the writer/Director has made it increasingly difficult to coordinate the next movies in the series. I was very disappointed with the film because I felt the Book offered so much promise for an interesting plot. There was adventure, romantic tension, deception, the resurrection. Let's face it, the final product of the film did touch upon all of these things but some things were missing, some were completely wrong, and others will have to be explained away. I the crew does a better job with OOTP and HBP!

huge dissapointment, i thought the movie was terrible, they changed the plotline way too much and there ws not nearly enough quidditch. The World Cup would be way better if i made the movie haha

it was pretty bad in comparison to the book. the book was amazing it was so different from the book the only really cool part to me was the first task but they changed that to, to make Harry look like Super!Harry but he is just a boy and it was all me andmy friends could talk about we couldnt wait to see the Graveyard scene and that was a bust to. The Yule Ball was totally different than imagined it didnt even show the conversation between HAGRID AND mAXIME. but i had fun making fun of the wierd sisters lyrics. I sure hope OotP is much better or else I might have to be forced to see the sixth movie
