Harry Potter - Goblet of Fire
hey everybody just wanted to let you know the new teaser is out. looks like it's going to be a pretty good film. CLICK HERE
|
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I'm so excited!!!
|
Looking good. The best thing about the films is watching to kids grow into their parts, they're starting to look like they own the role especially when you compare it to the first movie.
|
Looks pretty good. The movies haven't been bad so far, which is an accomplishment for a book-to-movie transition.
Does anybody know when the next book is due out? |
Last I heard the release date for the next book is July 16
|
WOW that looks awesome!!!!!! I can't wait....looks excellent so far judging by the trailer. superiorrain is on the spot - the kids are basically growing into the roles more and more and it's excellent
|
Groovy! I have no idea how they are going to do this in one movie, but, my goodness, looking good so far.
|
*bouncebounce*
I am so excited! Perhaps not as excited for the movie as I am for the book, but still very very excited! Though, I am conflicted in the fact that I find the characters more and more attractive each time I see them... :crazy: |
Yeah, buddy! Can't wait for this to come out.
That's some seriously cool dragon action! Hopefully, Halfblood Prince surpasses OOTP in magical goodness. ;) |
heh... slightly ashamed that I'm this excited about it.
|
Woohoo! Hopefully it'll be as good as the other three films.
|
Wow, that does look pretty good.
|
I'm so so SO excited for this movie (did I mention I was excited??). The fourth book is my favorite and judging by the last film and how good the kids did in it, this one will be even better. And don't feel bad cellophane, I think all three kids are growing into handsome young adults :)
|
Im so psyched about this one!!! Dave got me into Harry, I'd never read any of them nor seen the first or second movie. He finally convinced me to read them right before the 3rd movie came out last year. I have such a crush on Ron :lol: and Im totally in love with Snape, but only because Alan Rickman plays him
|
My mother got me interested in these books before they became 'all the rage.'
Goblet of Fire was a very large book with all sorts of stuff going on it, I just can't imagine how they're going to fit all of into one movie. I'm especially excited to see the World Quidditch Cup. Looks good though. It's definately on my list of movies to see this year. They've been spot on in terms of casting, I hope the trend continues. Shani, you're not alone. :) We were talking about this at work the other day and one of the women I work with is absolutely infatuated with Severus Snape. |
Dudes, I have the Harry Potter countdown calendar on my desktop, counting down the days until the new book comes out. I am so excited!! Right now, I'm re-reading 4 and 5 just to refresh everything for when 6 comes out.
Any news on the actual release date for the movie??? SO glad to see I'm not alone... :D |
It's looking pretty good, not that I'm a huge fan of HP but it's good to watch adventure films.
The movie's set to be released November 18, 2005. Remember, google's your friend! |

Why do you think I'm the Slytherin Princess? AND the naughty potions assistant? I'm so sad I even write fanfiction about Prof. Snape...though I read more of it than I produce. I hope this movie has even more Snape than the last. Mm, Snape. Mmmmm Alan Rickman! |
Should be pretty good, can't wait for the next book here in the next month or so.
|
|
wooohooo thanks for posting that!!!
Dave and I are so excited |
didnt that look awesome? i feel like a ten year old waiting on that movie to come out...lol.
|
I especially enjoyed the parts where they showed Snape ;)
|
I feel like a ten year old too, gump. I hate going to big movies on opening weekend, but I will be there for this ;) That new trailer was awesome!!!
|
OMG. I got crazy goosebumps watching that. I'M SO FRIGGIN EXCITED!!!! AIIEEEEEE
|
Oooh, new trailer...
/does a little dance |
OH! That f**king ROCKED!
Gump! That was OutStanding! Thanks so much. Let's see, That'll be out 10 days after the new George RR Martin book. I should be done with that by then. |
Awesome. I'm really looking forward to this!
|
Wow! Great visuals. I can hardly wait. :thumbsup:
Here's a direct link to the trailer. I don't know how long it will last, though. :) http://pdl.stream.aol.com/aol/us/mov..._fugfvv_dl.mov |
This was one of my favorite books in the series, so I am sure the movie will be good.
|
This movie is going to be crunk. I can't wait.
|
oh man that looked awesome! cant wait to see it...

Awesome! eeek!!! |
I'm also very excited to see the Quidditch World Cup. It seems that Quidditch was often a tool for saving time in the movies, by cutting a lot of it out. They have to give us one good game in this movie though :)
|
new trailer
|
thats the same one that was posted last week
darn you for getting me excited for no reason!! :lol: |
oops, sorry :) I thought that one was the international trailer. Didn't watch it all the way through.
I wish we had more than 1 second of Voldermort's face. :) |
I'm going to the midnight show of this movie tonight :) You had better believe I'll be posting a review as soon as I get home, so keep your eyes peeled. I'm so incredibly stoked.
I'm really looking forward to this movie partially because it's directed by Mike Newell. I think that artistically this movie will prove to be superior to its predecessors, and I sincerely hope he fixed some of the geography issues I had with the third film. I. Can't. WAIT. |
AHHH I wannna see it!!! DAMN different countries, this movie probably won't come out on base for like another 2 weeks (in Korea). I hope you all enjoy this movie as this will be the last time I visit this post, because I wan't to hear NOTHING (LOL) intill I've seen the movie myself.
|
Only opening here (South Africa) on the 2nd of December :(
It's just not fair... |
I can't wait to go see it this weekend. I've seen some pictures of Sirius online. It looks like they cleaned him up a little and I am panting with........excitement....yeah that's it :)
I've always had a crush on Gary Oldman, so Sirius has a special place in my heart. |
We are going to the 10am showing sunday morning to try to not have to deal with such a huge crowd....I cant stand theaters full of kids hehehe
onesnowyowl needs to get her butt in here and tell me how much snape time is in this one!!!! |
We'll be going tonight. Try and get in on the late show to avoid (most of) the kids.

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie--as fans of the book know, a lot had to be cut out in order to keep the movie under 3 hours. As it was, they kept all of the important stuff, and all the things you really want to see. It was fast-paced, well-executed, and wonderfully acted. It certainly had its fill of funny awkward teenage moments as well as great dramatic tension. The Weasley twins provide even more comic relief in this movie than the last. Those who have read the book will know that the last bit is very scary...and the film earns its PG-13 rating. Oh, and for the person wondering above--there's very little Sirius in this movie. Maybe 30 seconds. Sorry. My only complaint? Not enough Jarvis Cocker/Weird Sisters in the Yule Ball scene. I love Jarvis Cocker. |
I saw it today, soooooooo awesome!
I can't begin to describe how good it is! Go! Now! See it! |
I really enjoyed it. My only complaint was the lack of Quidditch World Cup action, other than that, awesome!
There was one part where I couldnt help but chuckle to myself. Spoiler: When Barty Crouch Jr. sets the Dark Mark at the QWC, Mr. Weasley says "But who?" I thought 'Who' indeed. The guy playing Barty Crouch Jr. is the new Dr. Who! |
Saw it this afternoon. Wow! They did a great job with this one. I'm definitely going to see it again while its at the theater.
|
Daughter is not coping too well having to wait for it to hit Aussie shores
She loves the whole series which makes for easy christmas pressies for her ( movies , Books ) Cheers |
We're going to see it this afternoon on the Ultrascreen in Madison. I can't wait.
|
I saw this alst night....One of the very few movies I wouldn't mind seeing again.
|
Dare I be the one to say this? This movie was WAY choppy, its almost like Mike Newel was going for more cinematography than story. Were I not a fan of the books this movie was probably pretty ok, but IMO they left out way too much stuff (yes I know they had to leave some things out) I easily would have sat thru a another 30-60 minutes to see things, that were in my opinion intregral to the story line they followed to have it flow better.
|
Not having read the books first, I didn't think the movie was choppy at all. I actually was really impressed by how well done the movie was. I've never seen/read anything Harry Potter before, and I actually liked it.
|
I'm so tired of seeing Potter every goddamn where I look. This is played out.
|
(IGNORES POSTER ABOVE ME)
I can't wait to go!!!!! We're in the process of moving right now so we've taken a vote and decided to wait until next month!! Im dying!! It's worth the wait though. Kind of gives me something to look forward to!! Woo Hoo! :D |
hey well i'm used to that by now

I agree. There were at least three story lines that they left out. And they completely left out the part of Ludo Bagman from what I can remember. I would have watched another hour of it, too, to see more of the story. I really can't see how anyone that has not read it made any sense of the movie. Really, why put in characters (Rita Skeeter) if you aren't going to follow the progression of their character's story at all? I want Chris Columbus back. And I am a fan of Snape, too, so I was upset with his small role. Since when does he just hit them? It seemed too nice a punishment for him. I hope they go with a new director for the fifth movie. And the Weasley twins are hot. |
I didn't mind the directing at all in the film but did feel the sting of the editor's cuts...
This the first of the really long books in the series and a lot had to be cut to make the film a reasonable length (2.5 hours). As a fan I was sad to see some things not there but on the whole it kept the important stuff and even played up some stuff with Neville that should have been done by Dobby, thereby pulling Neville into the overall plot. Let's face it... the books, like the films are extremely episodic, or to use Shani's words, they are choppy. This film is slightly more choppy than the others but it is only marginally worse for wear than the others. I think they should have taken a page from Peter Jackson's playbook and release an exteneded DVD version where all the stuff they couldn't include in this version are re-inserted, who knows, maybe they have! I would recommend the film to anyone who has been following along since the beginning. |
I read somewhere (forgot where), that the director toyed with the idea to make it 2 movies released a couple months apart, but was talked out of it by the director of Prisoner of Azkaban, who gave him some ideas on how to trim it into one movie.
My daughter saw it Friday and said that it was good but she was disappointed at all they left out.. We'll go see it over the holiday weekend, I hate crowded theaters... |
It's not really the directors fault that there was so much left out. I can see how some people didn't like the editing, and I can imagine that some people who didn't read the books would have a hard time following (even though the only two people I know who saw the movie without reading the books seemed to have enjoyed the movie more than HP fans). You have to realize that when a movie goes over 2 hours, you're breaking into the audience patience limit. I could have easily sat through a longer movie (it seemed short to me), but little kids simply couldn't. It is widely known that the first two Potter movies were criticized HEAVILY for being too long...making the movie even longer is going against what consumers complained about. I liked the idea about filming more of the plot and releasing it as the extended edition DVD!
The producers are also trying to get the movies out as soon as possible so the actors don't age too fast. They're almost on track still (most of the actors are only 1 year older than they're supposed to be) but if they delay production, it'll start to show. I loved the movie but only wish it could be longer for those who wanted it to be longer. The director chose to focus on the Tri-Wizard tournament as the movie's main theme and I think it worked very well. -Lasereth |
I thouroghly enjoyed the film, but was disappointed in all that they changed and cut out. But, being an adult, I understand why they did it.
I thought the dragon scene was much more dramatic than in the book, which was good, but I wasn't happy with the Maze scene at all, nor did I like that they sort of made Cedric look a little arrogant and rude. My husband has never read the books, but did enjoy the movie a lot. Though he did have a lot of questions for me...stuff that is explained in the book, but not the movie. |
yeah in my opinion they way diluted the third competition, they could have saved time on the 2nd and added more to the maze scene
|
Saw the movie this past weekend, and the only thing that stuck out was my cousin blurted out "Hey harry potter's got muscles now." While the concept/ideas/plot leave you asking for more, and Miss Granger's finally screaming @ the redhead to stop being such a pussy were great, sometimes I can't help but think they're getting a bit too old for it.. Kinda in the same way Urkel's coming of age seemed to no longer fit the highwaters and nasal voice after 8616876 seasons..
|
They really are only a year older than thier characters..I just hope they can finish the movies before they are 20 trying to play 17 year olds
|
wow. must be something in their cereal then.
|
well i finally got time to go see it last night. i have to say it was really good but there was so much left out that would have added to it. i was really looking forward to the quidditch match but the scene only last a few seconds. i agree with some on spliting the movie up or just extend this one; i could have easily set there an extra hour or two.
overall it was great and i'm already looking forward to the next one. |
did I mention I was really disappointed there were no dursley's and they didnt do any of the end chapter stuff...no hospital scenem no ending scene with sirius...no Harry giving the twins the money...
|
I loved the movie, I am not going to complain about how they had to cut things out, because, well they had to do it. They had to pick the most important parts of the movie to leave in there. No matter what, some people are going to complain because their favorite part of the movie was left out.
However, I really hope there is some serious extra scenes in the DVD. That would be so nice. |
Well to me they left out things intregal to the next movie, that to me were important. Things like SPEW I can totally understand being left out....but the gathering and the parting ways at the end being left out to me was a really bad idea....it doesnt set up for the next one
|
shani i had the same idea you had. i think they may pick it up from there for the 5th film. it makes sense to me that way it would lead into the scene with the dementor.
|
I was disappointed with the movie. I liked the previous 3 better.
|
Quote:
Oh and SPEW was by far the worst thing about any of the books. I just could not stand it at all. |
Saw it last night on IMAX (which was very cool). Having not read the books, it did seem like some of the scenes/situations were a bit rushed. (Quiddich World Cup scene, Ron's 'Anti- Harry' time, the Graveyard scene, etc).
One of the things that really struck me about this particular installment, was the overall weakening of the female characters. This seems really odd since JK Rowling is. of course, female. For example, Hermione, who was a very strongcharacter in the previous 3, was reduced to a hand-wringing, blubbering "extra". It seemed like her only real role in this episode was that "she cleans up real nice". Then there's Fleur Delacour. She's supposed to be the "best of the best" of an all-girls school, and the only female champion. So instead of being a badass Lara Croft/Sydney Bristow type character, she's a total wimp who can't even finish the second task (causing her sister to be rescued by "the big strong man"). And then she's the first to go down in the 3rd task, and needs to be rescued. Like I said, it just seems curious for a female author to suddenly reduce her female characters to weak "love interests". |
Just came back from seeing the movie, and I'm glad I didn't read this thread before going, that being said, I agree with the above posters that a lot more than was necessary was sacrificed for this movie. They should have made it twice as long, and stuck in an intermission. The whole house elf thing, the world cup, and explaining all about the death eaters.
|
Overall I liked the movie though I agree with the editing comments made above. As my friend and I left the theater we heard some guy say "this is why I don't read, it fucks up movies!" I thought it was great. :)
|
I just sent in something here: http://www2.warnerbros.com/web/main/...er_service.jsp explaining my disappointment with the movie. maybe it will help them develop a better dvd version...
|
Sue, it may be too late for that. If they didn't shoot it while they were in production it won't make it into the DVD. I think it is highly unlikely that they would reshoot *anything* at this point.
|
I haven't read the books - which didn't help - but I do hear about the series continually from nieces and nephews. I have to agree with those above who didn't like it. Certainly not compared to the previous films. Abrupt cuts, too much time in some areas and nowhere near enough in others. We took my brother's kids and they were complaining about it nonstop. Not a good sign. The Potter version of SW episode 2 or Godfather 3?

I don't know how it all works, but if they can flub up a movie they can sure as hell fix it. :D |
Went and saw this movie last night. I liked it. I was quite worried about how it was going to end up after the hurrying I felt they were doing at the first. It's pretty lacking if you compare it to the book, but a pretty good movie. Made me laugh, made me cry. What else can I ask for? *shrugs* (And my husband who hasn't read the books really liked it, and that's a pretty difficult task.)
|
I am so dissapointed by the Quidditch World Cup. Why did they even bother to have those scenes when they showed no awesome quidditch action? To set up the Death Eaters, I suppose (and I give thanks for Lucius and the Pimp Cane!) but would it have hurt to at least do the Vronski feint to show what a bad ass Krum is?
Someone mentioned the weak females and I agree, Fleur in particular was annoyingly whimpy. I do love the Weasley twins, and the Hufflepuff Band. Did anyone else notice Moody never said it, even once? Drove me mad, it did. |

Any "flubbing" that was done... has been done. My hope would have been that they took the approach that Jackson took in Lord of the Rings and filmed a lot more with the understanding that it would make the Special Edition DVD. Sadly I think the best we can hope for is a few outtakes or trimmed scenes. |
The previous three were in no way better. Based on what?
I think the first one was better, but neither of the other two. In the second one, there was alot of boring moments. Mystery can quickly turn to boredom if it never develops into anything. The third one was strange and had some very slow parts as well. Generally speaking, the fourth was almost 2 and a half hours of solid entertainment and escape. What more can you ask for? |

My wife and I went and saw this on Friday - I quite liked it.
I think as a movie maker, you have to try tell a story and you can't be straight jacketed into retelling the book. Both 3 and 4 have done that... |
Well okay I finally watched it. I have to say it's my least fav. of all of the movies out now. I thought it left out way too much of the details as usual and the movie was just dragged out overall. It is Harry Potter, so of course I like it, I just didn't favor this one too much.
|
Saw it. Didn't read the book. And saw the last three as well. For me, this was a good installment. I liked it. I suppose if I look at it a little harder, I can see some problems and some pieces that now make me think "why does that seem like a hollow piece of the movie?" THe Quidditch World Cup...yeah, what happened there? Snape: he actually had words in, what was it, two scenes? Not enough, to me. He is so cynical and dry that you never know if he is being nice or not, which is pretty funny. Hmm. Oh well, I liked it. I've certainly seen far worse movies. I'm ready for the next one!
