Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is a good movie. The acting is impressive giving that the actors who play students have never acted in anything before this series ever (few exeptions). It has a good mix of action and special effects and living life as a teenager. I was however disappionted on the quantity of content left out that was in the book: The Dursly's, Dobby, The Quidditch World Cup (they never actually showed the game), Karkarof's Fleeing at the end, Hagrid's Blast Ended Screwts, and probly many more things that I can't remeber. The maze sequence was a little messed up cuz they didn't have the 30 foot spider or any creatures or spells to test the contestants skills, they simply had the maze try to eat them or somthing, I dunno. The climatic grave yard scene wasn't exactly as I expected it, but still extreamly good, exciting, and suspensful. I'm glad they decided to go all out and make this installment PG-13 because if they hadn't, the grave yard scene would have been pretty crappy. I think they should have made it longer, or even into 2 parts to extend and add some scenes like with the Dursly's, the World Cup, and the Veritiserum scene with Crouch Jr./Moody. I saw it in IMAX which made it better than it probably was (big ass screen, and 12,000 watt surround sound system). If you're a die hard potter fan, you'll be a little dissapointed, but this is a very, very good movie. See it.
4 and 1/2 of Five Stars
