Goblet of Fire

I got around to seeing the newest Harry Potter movie, finally :). It was awesome and disappointing at the same time. The disappointing part first - it was very rushed and impossible to follow without reading the book. Luckily I have read it, but many people (or at least many I know) have not. I think this spoiled it in a way, as the 4th book really picks up the pace for the series. For those who have read the book though, you could follow it and the visuals were awesome. As usual, they had to modify some things to fit them in, but this seemed to be done very well after the first portion of the movie.
I'm not much of a movie reviewer, so that's all I have to say :). If you've read the book, go see the movie! If not, I don't recommend going to see this until you catch up. (At about 730 pages, you better start reading now if you want to see it in the theaters!)

    I definitely agree that if you have not read the book, the movie will be difficult to follow. It really tosses you in head first and does not take time to introduce you to what is going on. I have to say though, I really enjoyed the special effects, although the dragon scene was a bit long. I am glad they kept the dark ending; I was afraid they were going to dim it a bit to keep it more child friendly. Conversely, the attack at the World Cup was much darker than I envisioned it. All in all, not to shabby, and I think I like this one as much as Pris. of Az.
