Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Okay, I'm not into Harry Potter so you need to explain which one you are in terms of "2nd from the left".

I'd like to see it but I will wait until the crowd dies down a little. I'll also try and see a later show so the chance of annoying kids in the audience is lower.

3 of my kids are catching the midnight show. They bought their tickets a couple of weeks ago and are also planning on getting to the theater at around 10.

Actually, that's right. I'm the 2nd from the left. Between the girl in red and the really tall guy.

I think she means, what is a Slytherin? If not, that's what I'm asking.
I've never read a Harry Potter book so what the heck is a Slytherin? Is it the name of a character?

Hogwarts, the school of Witchcraft and Wizardry is broken up into four houses: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff.

Harry Potter and friends are in Gryffindor. The mean kids are in Slytherin.

This site has a great overview of all the books currently out.

Ok Kimmy

Must have details as hubby wouldn't let me go without him. Is it good? Does it do the book justice? Details girl.

I picked up Goblet of Fire a few months ago with the intention of re-reading it before seeing the movie but never got a chance too.

With that in mind, I can't say how much the movie differs from the book going from memory. I knew certain scenes would be cut and I didn't mind that.

However, I thought the movie was awesome! GOF is my favorite of the books and this movie was just spectacular. I was amazed and I look forward to seeing it again.

I'll refrain from posting spoilers until after the weekend.

So lucky! I have to wait until my sister gets out of work today to go. I haven't decided if I will dress up or not. (I'm in Ravenclaw. Yay!)

I just got back from seeing the movie. All I can say right now is that the director took about 75% more "Artistic leeway" or whatever it is called than I thought he should have been able to. This was my favorite book other than 6 so I was really disapointed.
I wish they wouldn't have played up Hermione and Harry together, they are really going to have a problem when it gets to the 6th movie.
I really wish Dobby was in this one. Also, I thought making the horses white instead of palomino and a blue carrage really took away all of the regalness. It gets a thumbs down.

I just saw it this afternoon and i thought it was AMAZING!! i really loved it!
it's been a long time since i read the book so i cant compare, wich i am glad, because i think people compare the book and movies too much

[mina'smomma]

I loved the movie. Hubbie and I went to see it last night. It wasn't as good as the first two, but not as bad as movie three. I had hoped to see more like when Hermonie catches Rita Skinner on the window sill, but they cut that out.

I went yesterday and really enjoyed it. I haven't read the books, but I can say that when going to a movie that is based off a book, you have to go expecting that everything will not be exactly as it was in the book. I actually usually prefer to read books AFTER a movie if possible, otherwise I'm too distracted in the movie by what is different or how close it is to really focus on it as a seperate entity. I remember when reading people's reactions to Lord of the Rings on various reviews and websites, most people were amazed and enchanted by the movie, but there are always a few who are so caught up in the differences from the books that they actually couldn't even enjoy the movie!

Anyway, just some rambling thoughts from me this morning. I did feel the ending was "left hanging" some, but for the purpose of picking up later from where it left off. Was the book ending left hanging a bit? I think I probably enjoyed this one and the last one the most so far of the movies .
