WHAT?!?
I just got back from seeing Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. For those of you who had read the book...you can read on. If you have not read the book, then I suggest that you do not click the cut as there will be spoilers (if you care about that sort of thing).
WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?!
Pardon my french.
As someone who LOVES the HP books, this movie left me feeling a little...mad. Or maybe sad. Or maybe both?
The movie starts out just the way the book did. The old man in his house sees a light and goes up to the Riddle House to find Voldemort and Wormtail. Who else is in the house? Oh yeah, Barty Crouch Jr.. Oh? He wasn't there in the book? My mistake. So Voldy goes on to kill the old man. Great. Harry wakes up, already at the Burrow. Hermoine is there, in his room, and wakes up Ron. They go the World Cup using the Port Key. Ok, good. We see the stadium, we see the teams come in. Next thing you know, Fred & George are dancing around the "tent" because who won? We don't ever really find out. So from there is a shot of the Hogwart's Express. Yup, we are already there. The students flock to see the Durmstrang ship and the Beauxbatons carriage come flying in. Do they know for what? Nope, not yet. They skip the sorting, and Dumbledore goes right into the welcome speech. No yada yada's or welcome backs, but he introduces the other school very promptly. Ron stares at some ass, the Durmstrang boys make marks on the floor. Yay. They show the Goblet and Dumbledore says that there is a tournament with the three schools. Yay again. Barty Crouch Sr. announces that noone under the age of 17 may enter. That's crap! They did show the twins trying to enter and the white beards they grew, so props for that very short real part of the book!
With no warning what so ever, Ron is mad at Harry. Why? We never really find out. But Dean told Padma who told Seamus who in turn told Ron that Hagrid wants to see Harry. Got it? Me either. To make it short, Harry finds out about the first task, tells Cedric, and then it's over with. Harry wears a sling on his arm. Why? Not sure. Must have gotten hurt or something.
I guess to make the rest of the movie short, I will just summarize for you. Harry falls for Cho, she falls for Cedric. Harry takes a bath and gets gillyweed from Neveille. Yes, Neveille. Second task goes off without a hitch, but suddenly Harry can fly without his Firebolt. Malfoy? Nowhere to be seen. What about Sirius? Sirius who? Oh right, I almost forgot about him. Who?
There is a ball somewhere in the movie, can't remember when. This is when you finally see Hermoine and Krum talk to eachother, and this is the only time. I think he can only see her when she has a dress on or something.
Harry stumbles upon the Pensieve once and only once, and views a very short memory. Ah! Barty Crouch Jr. Who's that? Oh right, the guy with Voldy in the beginning.
The third task comes with no warning and way before you expect it to. There are no skrewts, no fogs that turn the world upside down, and no Sphnix. What there is though are walls that try to eat you and a LOT of fog. Something chases, or seems to chase, Harry & Cedric so they hastily agree to grab the cup together. Yoink.
They are dropped right into the graveyard. Harry realizes immediately that they need to leave, but they do not. Wormtail carries out a half baby, half alien and drops it into a boiling pot. Oh yeah, he kills Cedric too. Harry gets tortured for about 5 minutes total in the graveyard, sees his parents and boom, back at Hogwart's with Cedric's body.
Moody takes him away, Veritaserum, the real Moody, blah blah blah.
Now promise that you will write, both of you! No, you know I won't. Harry will, won't you? *rolls eyes* Oh yeah, every week.
THE END
As someone who reads the books and totally adores them, this movie disappointed me greatly. It moved FAR too quickly, left too many things unanswered, and was SOOOO different from the book! Granted, the book is almost 900 pages, but COME ON! It was pathetic.
Would I see it again? Yes. Why? Three words. Dan + Bath = Illegal
WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?
