哈利·波特与火焰杯

1.邓布利多的睿智呢？火焰杯第四次吐出名字时他表现得真怕死，还用手挡着脸……最后还冲到哈利面前使劲抓着他问是什么回事，光是要混淆火焰杯吐出四个名字哈利就做不到了，难道他想不到，还要穆迪提醒？
2.塞德里克的阳光呢？最后两天了才告诉哈利去洗澡，早干嘛去了（为了成功，我才不信穆迪会等到最后才告诉塞德里克）？都最后两天了他怎么知道哈利就没有解开谜底？他是在偷听哈利和赫敏对话吗？说得不清不楚还不如不说（比书里更不清楚— —！）。而且在迷宫里，刚打倒克鲁姆，就趁乱把哈利推开去找火焰杯，转换如此之快，最后还叫哈利救他……
3.纳威的鳃囊草是哪里来的？斯内普说鳃囊草很难得，纳威是在比赛开始前凭空变出来的吗？还是说他偷的？还是除斯内普外还有其他人有珍藏？凭纳威能办成这件事吗？如果书里没有设定穆迪给纳威那本书，导演和编剧能想到这样改编么？

说真的，都不知道是导演和编剧的问题还是演员的问题了……
还有其他细节，我就不一一说了……

最后，仅以此图纪念本该有重要戏份的多比和闪闪……

从身形上来看四个十四五岁的小孩子已经跟成年人差不多高了，导演也必须照顾角度使得赫敏看起来不会比harry高。青春豆已经依稀可见。少年们的眼神也焕发出光芒。

一些看过的朋友和各大评论对第四部都褒贬不一。我个人觉得没评论写得那么差。一开场的魁球世界杯一下子带动了大家的情绪。紧接着的两个学校的来访和比赛的报名让人浮想联翩。三个竞赛(斗龙擒蛋，水底救人，迷宫探险)非常有想象力也引人入胜。期间穿插的舞会，赫敏的出场可谓惊艳，但其实在很多观众心中赫敏一直非常漂亮的。

两个半小时的时间总是那么快，三场竞赛似乎还没看的尽兴。先前一些预告中所提到的恐怖画面用惊悚更加恰当。

不幸被杀死的同伴令人惋惜，我还哭了好久并且期待着他会站起来跟harry继续并肩作战。有恶魔一定会有牺牲，也许早点让孩子知道这一点不一定是件坏事。

从画面来看沿袭了一贯的偏暗风格(个人意见)，对话也不乏精彩幽默之处。

孩子毕竟长大了，harry和卫斯里的争吵，赫敏的掩面而泣，harry奋不顾身拯救同伴，都让我们看到了自己成长当中的点点滴滴。

我觉得，这第四部还是值得去影院一看的。

This fourth installment of the movie series is entirely about the Triwizard Tournament. Three finalists were chosen by the Goblet of Fire, and then the Goblet spit out an unprecedented fourth name: Harry Potter's. This is against the rules, since you have to be 16 to compete in Triwizardry, and Harry is only 14. The question is, who entered Harry's name, since Harry said he didn't?

"The Goblet of Fire" is my favorite Potter book so far in the series. (Well, I'm still reading "The Half Blood Prince" so that might change soon) If you think the 3rd book was dark, this one only gets darker. So I'm going to be biased about this movie and say I liked it a lot! It's always a pleasure to look at the characters and plots that you love so much to transform onto the big screen. Harry, Ron and Hermione have grown up. Cedric Diggory and Victor Krum looked exactly like what I imagined they would be. Cho Chang only had a few lines in this movie, but I'm sure we all know how much people already love her. I was a bit disappointed at the actress they cast for Fleur Delacour. She's supposed to be this stunning beauty that can take your breath away, but in the movie she was actually kind of bland.

The special effects, settings and costumes were excellent as usual. The dragons, the mermaids and the maze were really cool looking. I liked the look of "The Prisoner of Azkaban" better, but this is still better than the "The Sorcerer's Stone" and "The Chamber of Secrets". Nothing against Chris Columbus, I just don't think he's the right director for these kind of movies.

Onto the problems with this film. Since this book was so much longer than the previous ones, there were way too many subplots that were left out of this movie. I know it's difficult to fit everything into a 2 hour movie, but it's still disappointing. Whatever happened to the whole house elves action stirred up by Hermione? What happened to the butterfly turning Rita Skeeter? Most importantly, where the heck is the last pivotal scene in the book where Dumbledore starts to gather his group which will later become the Order of Phoenix?! I feel that for people who have not read the books, this movie will be really confusing. It didn't really explain a lot of the backstories and characters. Thus I'm not surprised when my friends who did not read the book all told me they didn't think this movie was all that great. This film did a great job of transforming scenes from the book onto the big screen, but storytelling wise, it was scattered and confusing.

So, if you want to truely enjoy this movie, I'll definitely recommend reading the book first before you go. Trust me, it'll be well worth your time.
