English Fire Burns in Newell
Mike Newell on Goblet of Fire:
"I was nonplussed when I saw No. 3. Of course, what I had wanted to do was introduce the darker adolescent tone myself and found to my horror that Alfonso had gotten there before me and with great style and determination. And so I think there is a kind of tap dance between the mixture the audience wants, which of course is determined by the books."
What you do is you pack it with references and suggestions and so forth which, of course, you have taken from the book. So that a reader coming to the film goes, 'Oh, I see. I get it. They did it that way.' You're the guardian of the book, and at the same time, you have absolutely to be able to step off the books and say, 'We had better distill this.' Distillation is a very good word for it."
"The children are growing up, and that's what the basic story is. You have to be true to growing up in an abstract way and to these kids in a particular way."
"The girls' costumes drive the Hogwarts boys absolutely mad."
