This is a more mature and ambitious fourth entry into the series and manages to balance an expanded cast of characters and situations. The Tournament scenes boast improved special effects and, with the peril of death more real, the stakes of the film series are raised, to exciting effect.

Albus Dumbledore introduces Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody as the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher and will look after Harry in the challenging and deadly Triwizard Tournament. Harry was not supposed to be part of the tournament since he is underage and ineligible. Voldemort has been rejuvenated by a ritual performed by Pettigrew. Better action, acting and effects, the only reservations I had been the lack of parts for Hermione, Ron and one of my favorites, Hagrid. In the words of Albus Dumbledore – “Dark and difficult times lie ahead, Harry. Soon we must all face the choice; between what is right and what is easy.” Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was a good film produced that shows the maturation of its characters.

They managed to squeeze in all the important and best bits, of one of the meatiest books, and still come out with a great movie. There was a lot of situations and action to cover and most of it is in there and plays out better than I had imagined. It's full, but never feels overstuffed. Very fun.

My favorite movie of the series, though I wish it was David Yates who directed.

The fourth in the series, Goblet of Fire is a much more assured and bravely ambitious movie than the first three. A faster paced action packed special effects extravagance of a movie, Harry Potter is now maturing and adolescence and death have a much more prominent role to play as the boy wizard faces the trials of the Triwizard Tournament. Creating a sprawling yet seamless epic, director Mike Newell delivers the quintessential Harry Potter Movie which is magical, atmospheric, imaginative and highly effective. Wondrous entertainment
