As their fourth year starts, we see that Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) has now assumed human form and is still dead set on his plan to get rid of Harry Potter. As it turns out, they’ve got seats for what is unquestionably the biggest event of the Wizarding World. His best friends Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) have always been there for him and as Harry makes his way to Ron’s house, they learn that the Quidditch World Cup is happening. Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) is anxious to start his fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizadry. This is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. We see Lord Voldemort for the first time. This is the fourth year for Harry and his friends, the dead middle of the series. Of note, the novel Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was ranked by Entertainment Weekly as the second most influential novel of the past 25 years (coming in first was Cormack McCarthy’s The Road if you were wondering). That’s not to say that the Harry Potter movies don’t pay homage to the pages that brought them to life, but as the books became longer and more complex, it’s understandable that there would have to be certain things that never saw the screen.
The first two movies were brought to the screen not missing so much as a semicolon and the third, though more artistic in nature, was very loyal to the novel.
It’s a well-known fact that the first two, and to a lesser extent the third, were pure child’s play. The first came out in 1998 and by the time that the movie version of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire hit theaters, the sixth book had just come out ( Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince). Plot: What’s it about? Video: How does it look? Audio: How does it sound? Supplements: What are the extras? The Bottom Line Plot: What’s it about?Īs the world of Harry Potter entered the fourth year, the books were already a long-standing thing of the past.
