An incredibly imagined fantasy bildungsroman, it follows the eponymous boy wizard as he attends the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and contends with his destiny to fight the Dark Lord, Voldemort.

Of all the zeitgeist-defining fiction to come out of the past twenty years, perhaps none has been more universally beloved than the Harry Potter series by J.K. All in all, a flawed but quite engrossing film, that doesn't quite live up to the darkness of the book.All the Harry Potter Books in Order: Your J.K. I did think on a positive note that Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort was suitably scary, and with the exception of Dumbledore everyone else was well done. I didn't like the third task, and the other two were fine. My brother also noted that he didn't like the execution of the three tasks. Although Gleeson mostly succeeded with his role, I personally think he tried too hard. I have listened to the audio tapes by Stephen Fry, and I imagine Moody's voice as low and gravelly. He looked the part, but his voice wasn't exactly what I had in mind for Moody. Brendan Gleeson is a very talented actor, evident in films like In Bruges and The General. I am also on the fence about Mad Eye Moody. As I've said already, I much prefer Richard Harris as the character. I am not too keen on Michael Gambon's Dumbledore, I just don't remember Dumbledore being violent as they made him.
I did wish they made Crouch's disappearance more mysterious, instead of giving it away, ruining the suspense that was quite compelling up to that scene. Roger Lloyd Pack and David Tennant were fine in their roles as the Crouches, but their characters were changed significantly. I don't think it's as dark as the book, and I wasn't too keen on some of the casting.
Speaking of that scene, I adored that dress that Hermione was wearing, Emma Watson looked unrecognisable in that scene.Also the music by Patrick Doyle this time was beautiful. The film looks dazzling, especially the ballroom scene. It was cute, but interfered too much with the dark overtones of the narratives. The only thing I didn't like so much about the book, was the subplot about Hermione trying to help house elves. It is much darker than the previous outings, but not as faithful to the source material. Hermione asks Harry which potion ingredients Snape accused him of stealing and realizes they are the ingredients needed for the Polyjuice Potion.
On the night of selection, however, the Goblet spews out four names instead of the usual three, with Harry unwittingly being selected as the Fourth Champion. The contestants have to be above the age of seventeen, and are chosen by a magical object called "The Goblet of Fire". That same year, Hogwarts is hosting "The Triwizard Tournament", a magical tournament between three well-known schools of magic : Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang. They get the tickets to The Quidditch World Cup Final, but after the match is over, people dressed like Lord Voldemort's (Ralph Fiennes') "Death Eaters" set a fire to all of the visitors' tents, coupled with the appearance of Voldemort's symbol, the "Dark Mark" in the sky, which causes a frenzy across the magical community. Harry's (Daniel Radcliffe's) fourth year at Hogwarts is about to start and he is enjoying the summer vacation with his friends.
