Besides the obvious sexual advances on Harry that Rita and Myrtle took, did anyone else notice that this movie is FULL of "hint hint, huhuhuh he said..." moments? Like when Hermione said that Victor is a "physical" person and when Cedric told Harry to take a bath. Or when Ron was checking out the Beauxbatons' girls from behind. Any others?

I don't think any of those are really innuendos. I mean to be an innuendo isn't it suppose to be somewhat or a side remark that is said in regular conversation but is meant to have a hidden sexual conotation? All the ones you listed were pretty straight forward, I think. The only one that might be an innuendo is the "physical being" thing Hermione says, but she realizes that it could be taken as an innuendo right away and corrects herself. So ya, I dont really think there were any in the movie.

They were trying to cater to the adult crowd, but it's not subtle enough like it is in Shrek. My seven-year-old cousin asked me about the physical thing and I was like "uh...." lol. I do appreciate that they are making the movies with adults in mind.

I've got some:

"(Moody looks down)Does it hurt? That? Let me take a look at it."

"I'll show you mine if you show me yours."

Hagrid placing his hand on Madam Maxine's butt.

Cedric lying down on his male classmate's lap.

Harry brushing the dirt off of Cedric's shirt in the maze after he helped him escape the vines.

Rocknrule, let me be frank - there wasn't a straight guy or a gay girl in the cinema who wasn't checking out the behinds of the Beaxbatons girls! And Hermione did qualify her statement about Krum immediately - the big thing was that she said "It's a bit frustrating actually"

The flirty thing with Skeeta and Harry was genius - I really fancy Miranda Richardson though so that may just be me!

Obviously things will get a little more adult from here on in but I don't think they went too overboard.

Of course things are going to get a little more adult from now on in. The one thing that both the films and the books have done is to try and tailor the material to the reletive ages of the characters. Therefore, now they are well into the onset of puberty, this will become more apparent as well as the audience, if they are keeping pace, noticing more.

By the way Darth, I completely agree with you about the Beauxbatons girls. My wife found it quite amusing.

Rocknrule, I noticed that too...I think Rita's one was inappropriate!My God she's an adult!I think that was just a way to get more nformations...

'Just the Droobles', you're right about the 'hurt' thing. The scene being talked about is the one you mentioned, and I definitely didn't think that it could mean anything else but Harry's arm. It's quite perverted to think otherwise. And I didn't notice Cedric lying on someone's lap. He was lying on a stome bench, but I'm not sure if his head was resting on someone's lap. And Hagrid grasping Maxime's backside had me roaring with laughter. That was well done. And like someone said, all guys checked out the Beaubaton girls' backsides, inclusive of myself.

About the "I'll show you mine, if you show me yours." My immediate thought was that Barty Jr. was referring to the Dark Mark on Snape's hand, but it supposedly meant Harry's wound...still don't understand why that dialogue was even there in the film.

And what's with this Rita scene that everyone is talking about? I have absolutely no idea which bit everyone's referring to. Please enlighten me!

I think I saw Fluer sneaking off with someone into the bushes during one of the scenes!!!! That's major innuendo right there!!!!

The rita scene that they're talking about is the one of the interview in the broom closet. And the Moaning Murtle thing..definant inuendo there. But what about in the book the people that do get caught sneeking off into the bushes...that wasn't in the movie was it??
It does have inuendo in it though....but it makes it that much funnier.

I don't remember in the movie, but in the book, It said Roger and Fleur were in a rosebush nearby, and that they looked "very busy" to Harry. Wow, that is major innuendo in a children's book! Nudge Nudge, nod nod, wink wink, saynomore saynomore... And when Ron is blibbering to the Gryffindor girls about how Fleur dumped him, you can hear him talking about how he likes the Beauxbatons girls, and I distinctly heard him say something about behinds. Intresting.

Yeah, I do remember that from the book. It was pretty a ..wow.. think to put in a "children's" book. I don't remember it being the movie though. I don;tt hink it was in there.

"I've got some:
"(Moody looks down)Does it hurt? That? Let me take a look at it."
"I'll show you mine if you show me yours."
Hagrid placing his hand on Madam Maxine's butt.
Cedric lying down on his male classmate's lap.
Harry brushing the dirt off of Cedric's shirt in the maze after he helped him escape the vines."

None of those are meant to be innuendos, except for the Hagrid/MM thing, as Just the Droobles described well.

Joey,
I noticed that too...he says somthing like "you know how I like when they walk"...and the Moaning Murtle scene!! I was laughing cause she was talking about Cedric..and saying how...all the bubbles were almost gone...lol..how creepy that some random dead girl that haunts toilets and overflows them is..like..spying while you bathe....lol

How about the scene where Voldemort puts his (filthy) foot on dead Cedric's face and says something like, "what a handsome boy" (or something to this effect). I wondered at the time, why he would say such a thing. Worse, why wasn't it deleted? It didn't add anything to the scene for me. We all know that Voldemort is lower than the dirt on the bottom of our shoes. So, why keep it in?

I don't think that line was meant as an innuendo like "Gee, he was actually pretty good-looking. Maybe I should've kept him alive..." More of insulting thing I think actually. And he was putting his feet on a dead boy's face...that is not very respectful...and as we know, Voldemort is pretty scummy, so I would expect nothing less than scum from a less than scummy guy.

Call me crazy, but I found yet another innuendo. When Ron had just tried to ask Fleur to the Yule Ball, they're sitting in the common room and Parvati and Padma walk by and say hi to Harry. Right before he realizes this opportunity to get a date, you can hear Ron (Rupert) saying "I've always just looked at them from behind" or something like that. In the context it was in, I thought it was an innuendo though I could be wrong.

Oh yea, when Dumbledore is addressing everyone about the last task, and the camera is focused on him, in the background you can see the actor playing Karkaroff's doing something to Krum's character...like he's stroking his back or something...

Yep. Maybe the one with the Patil sisters was innuendo. I really don't think there was anything meant sexually with the "I'll show you mine if you show me yours." I'm actually not sure what it means. But, yeah, the thing with Madame Maxime and Hagrid was obvious, and Hermione's part- "He's more of a physical being" wasn't exactly subtle, either.

one that I noticed during the yule ball, was when Hermione came over to talk to Harry and Ron, Ron is rude, and Hermione says "What's got your wand in a knot?" Also, a pretty obvious one was when the Durmstrang student asks Parvati "May I take your arm?" She says "Arm? Leg? Whatever!" and runs off with him. hmmmmm..... I wonder why this was PG13

i noticed another very subtle one in the broom closet with rita... when she goes "this is cozy" (surely THAT was quite enough innuendo for 1 scene...) harry goes "its a broom closet." then rita said "you should feel right at home then." i thought that was a bit...y'know because it's an implied thing, people go to broom closets to make-out and stuff.

another one that wasnt actually in the movie but it was in the deleted scenes on the dvd, and harry goes outside, there are some people kissing, and then there's this carriage thatis like...shaking, and then they show this guy telling harry to get lost, and after snape and karkaroff are talking, snape opens another carriage and these two people get out and snape docks house points.

i think ALL the scenes with hagrd and maxime had SOME kind of subtle innuendo if you look hard enough...

we all know who harry's gonna end up w/in book 6......there's no surprise there......and i would think everyone agree's that ron/hermione will end up 2gether in book 7....and as someone else already mentioned, the books are appropriate according to harry's age.....with that said:
1. "nothing sweet" reffering to cho
2. the beauxbaton girls
3. harry spitting out his pumpkin juice
4. madame maxine eating something from hagrid's beard
5. pravati "arm, leg, i'm yours"
6. harry's comment to ron that viktor had other reasons for being in the library besides books
7.hagrid's butt grab
8. obviously hermione's "physical being statement"
9. did anybody else notice those kids on the stairs during ron/hermione's argument?
10. moaning myrtle....no surprise!

what's w/all the gay suggestions? not that i care, but come on i'm sure cedric's straight.....don't we find out more details about him & cho in book 5? come on i don't particularly agree w/the whole rita thing either......it's a bit of a stretch

3. harry spitting out his pumpkin juice
4. madame maxine eating something from hagrid's beard
9. did anybody else notice those kids on the stairs during ron/hermione's argument?

3. I think Harry spit out his pumpkin juice because he wasn't really expecting Cho to turn around and look at him. I think he was trying to smile at her without thinking and it all came pouring out. I don't even know how that would be an innuendo.

4. I think Madam Maxime eating something from his beard was just supposed to be a weird thing giants do. Well, in their case, half-giants. I don't really think that was an innuendo either.

9. No, didn't notice them. I thought they were just sitting there. I guess I'll have to check that out again.

Gay suggestions? Um...where were those? I don't recall seeing any. Someone thought they saw Cedric on a class mate's lap, but he really wasn't, it was just the camera angle. And the bath thing was in the book. Can you tell me where you're getting Gay suggestions?

the thing with the broom closet was pointed out to me by a friend and it is now blaringly obvious every time i see that scene. but if it was refering to his living at the dursleys, how would rita know that he lived in the cupboard under the stairs?

and i think they DO make cedric out to be a little bit gay in the scene just after hermione saying viktor was a physical being and ced was coming to tell him about the bath, he's all "how-how are you?" then dans (harry) "Spectacular?" but the way the how are you was said... i thought twice about it, i must admit...

Even if Cedric was gay, does it change who he was? Is he a completely different character now? In my opinion, if he is indeed homo-sexual, then I don't think it changes anything...only that it adds more diversity to the book and/or movies (what with half-giants, centaurs, goblins, "mud bloods", half-bloods, pure bloods, etc.).

I don't get how Rita saying what she did about Harry feeling right at home in the broom cupboard is an innuendo. Before that, when she asked if it was cozy, I can see being an innuendo.

i agree, cedric being gay does add more diversiy, actually it would be funny, cause if gay cedric likes harry and harry likes cho who is going out with cedric, who likes harry...

hehehe i confuse myself

That scene between Harry and Cedric wasn't and innuendo unless you really want it to be one. A guy asking a guy how he's doing isn't gay, it's friendly. Cedric was trying to be nice. Harry's spectacular was sarcasm times 100. That would really be no different than saying fine. Cedric telling him to take a bath wasn't innuendo either. It was in the book and we know the meaning behind it. There's no sense in twisting a scene into something it isn't.

I seriously doubt that any of the characters in Goblet of Fire or any Harry potter book are gay (although I do have my doubts about Draco Malfoy at times ). Anyway, none of the characters are gay, don't go reading into that too much.

I was personally a bit put off by all the overtones in the movie... the zoom on the Beauxbatons butts, the comment by Hermione about Victor, and Myrtle cozying up to Harry in the tub... what was that all about? I realize there are a couple places in the book that imply that some of the students may be kissing, but I didn't need all that junk. I personally thing Mike Newell did a terrible job with this movie. First of all he talked the studio out of splitting the book into two movies... that would have been sweet! Turning Dumbledore into a grumpy old man with absolutely none of the goofyness or grandfatherly qualities that make him likeable... And then all the stupid sexual overtones! I thought the film was a poor adaptation of the book to say the least. A children's book that is made into a movie shouldn't have a PG-13 rating!

yeah i saw that scenes too,they really consist of ohh,ahh,em.but i think [itz] it's for now adults.after all character[z]s in this film was also in growin age.don't [u] you think [m] i'm [rite] right?


MOD EDIT: Netspeak agian... edited for you agian....

Hagrids butt grab definately, and my stomach turned when Rita and Harry go in the broom closet, I said to my son at the time 'Oh gosh, dont tell me they are going to have HER hitting on Harry, that would be too disgusting' As for Hermoine saying that Krum is a 'physical being', I think maybe she meant that in terms of he was a bit thick, since she is so academic, so couldnt really have a decent talk?

I don't think Cedric saying "it's not a bad place for a bath," was innuendo, it's funny to think of it that way though. Slash is harmless. It's true that none of the characters are gay, but fannon can be a pretty awesome thing sometimes.
As for the other stuff, do we realise that Harry is 14 and not 11 anymore? I found the innuendo very funny, and kids grow up, they think about sex. And it's a sad but true fact that at 14 there are people even having sex. So, as long as Harry and Cho aren't doing it in the Quidditch locker room, it all seems pretty harmless to me.

yeah, well i dont think sexual **** is exactly the most appropriate thing to put into a "children's movie" I mean, That sort of thing wasn't stated quite as bluntly in the book. I don't think Mike Newell's intention in the Rita scene was to make her look like a perv, but it sure came across that way. There are no gays that i have come across yet in Harry Potter, although, something could have gone on between Snape & Karkaroff if he didn't die in book 6. lol just kidding.

Ooh my goodness, this topic is driving me crazy! Everyone keeps saying "they shouldn't have that in a childrens movie" and so on and so on... I am 18 years old, my brother is 21, and my mom is 46 and we all love Harry Potter, as do all of my cousins who are all over 17... it's not JUST a children's movie and just a children's book. When I was younger I never caught on to inuendo in movies, but I know that it made the movies enjoyable for the adults who had to watch them with me. I really don't think that many children would catch on to these things, and the ones who are old enough to catch on to it, sorry to disappoint you.. but if you know what they mean by sexual inuendo and understand it... it means that you know about sex and have thought about it before... so if they're already thinking about it, it doesn't matter if they make the movies a little more entertaining for adults by adding it into the movies. Half of the stuff mentioned in this post isnt even inuendo... it's just stuff people are taking wayyyy too far. Like Cedric's head resting on someone's leg (if it even was) so what! I rest my head on my friends legs all the time and I'm not a lesbian! I agree that a few things are inuendo... but inuendo is supposed to be subtle... and the "innuendo" that most people on this topin have posted so far... sorry to burst your bubble... is NOT inuendo! There's nothing wrong with the directors adding a bit of substance that can make the movies more enjoyable for the older audience... as there are quite a lot of us. The kids usually don't pick up on it anyways... and it won't scar them for life if they do, so stop worrying about it. It's NOT that big of a deal.

marrymerupert, thank you.
I saw all the time that Harry Potter isn't just for little kids. I started reading the books when I was 15 and my love for them has grown since then. But back on topic, in PoA a 13 year old boy wants to kill someone, seriously kill them dead. I don't think that happens in many childern's books . And I think that well ajusted childern can handel the inneundo, that's actually inneundo and not taking something and twisting it so it is, with good humor. I did, I was wacthing Friends when I was 10, and I handeled it fine.

Wow sorry guys but I am way late on this one.



It was Eloise Midgen, El Barto, lots of Innuendos but to be truthful Ced wasnt gay, because Cho and Ced were holding hands in the hallway and if he went to the Yule Ball dont you think he would of taken a man?

I completely agree with marrymerupert!



I do the same thing with my friends doesnt mean im a lesbian either!
you also have to realise that the so called kids are growing up..so its not like their ever going to think about things!

like marrymerupert also said its not a big deal!

D.A

To add to what Spencer Potter said: Or have Cho as his cover well he talks and spends time alone with some boy. Gay kids at my high school did that all the time. But Cedric isn't gay, if he was I think that HP would be very differnt type of books.

Here are some... I guess?

Does it hurt? That? Let me take a look at it.
I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
Hagrid placing his hand on Madam Maxine's butt.
Cedric lying down on his male classmate's lap.
Harry brushing the dirt off of Cedric's shirt in the maze after he helped him escape the vines.
Bathtub scene.
When Hermione talks about Viktor being a "physical' being.... haha

Wow, I thought this topic was long gone, but apparently people still don't know what innuendo means:

Dictionary.com has this as innuendo

So as for what JSB 073 has said:

Does it hurt? That? Let me take a look at it. (NOT innuendo, its not even remotely anything like that! He's friggin asking if Harry's leg hurts - this is exactly what I meant by people taking things waaaaaay out of context)
I'll show you mine if you show me yours. (once again, definately not innuendo. he was asking about the cut on harrys arm)
Hagrid placing his hand on Madam Maxine's butt. (if you read the definition of innuendo, you will see that it means subtle or indirect, which this is not. hagrid clearly places his hand on her behind, so its not innuendo, he just does it. and really its not that big of a deal, that is seen in everyday society! people walking down the streets have their hands on each others butts, not a huge deal - but again - NOT innuendo)
Cedric lying down on his male classmate's lap. (this is just absolutely ridiculous. Cedirc is extremely popular so his friends probably do anything to please him and treat him like a king. by letting cedric lay on his leg, his friend was almost treating him like royalty. and i rest my heads on my friends legs all the time and it means NOTHING!)
Harry brushing the dirt off of Cedric's shirt in the maze after he helped him escape the vines. (how exactly is this innuendo? cedric had dirt on his shirt so harry wiped it off... nothing sexual about it... he was being a nice person and wiping dirt off of him... you guys are crazy to think that that is somehow innuendo)
Bathtub scene. (myrtle is a little perverted yes... but this scene really isn't that bad... yes i agree she hints at looking at his thing and stuff... but this is one thing through-out the whole movie, and no kid would ever pick up on that unless they already knew what it meant - in which case its not that big of a deal)
When Hermione talks about Viktor being a "physical' being.... (again, not innuendo. hermione explains that she meant he likes to stare at her a lot of something... nothing about kissing or touching or anything dirty.)

overall, i think all the people who see these things as innuendo have very dirty minds and i can see the same people thinking things in disney movies are innuendo. before you start throwing words around maybe you should find out what they mean first.

Hmm i think ive already posted on this topic but i guess ill post again!

marrymerupert is completely right, nothing in the film was remotely innuendo.
and also something id like to ask was cedrics head even resting on his friends i thought his friend was just sitting next to him and it looked like he was resting on his lap?!
But even if he was it really does not make him gay!!
