The Official Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Movie Thread

[GundamGuy_UK]

They're doing the casting for GoF at the moment I believe.

Does anyone know who any of the new cast are? Photos would be better, as chances are with the students we've never heard of them.

I know Cho Chang has been cast, but I don't know a name or anything.

EDIT: Found out who Cho is. She's being played by a 16-year-old girl in Scotland called Katie Leung.


Fleur Delacour has been cast aswell. It's someone called Clémence Poésy.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/images/40271000/jpg/_40271687_cecilethink.jpg

Viktor Krum is played by a Scottish guy, though I don't know who.

Robert Pattinson plays Cedric Deggory.

Ralph Fiennes is supposed to be playing Voldemort, though its not certain yet.
http://img.dailymail.co.uk/img/pix2/ralphfiennes010504_100x110.jpg


I've been rummaging through Google for a while now, and found nothing but dead links for images of Katie Leung (she's the first one I found out about- I got the other names from sites looking for her). So if anyone finds any images of Leung or Pattinson, or the identity of Krum, please please post.

[RCG_]

Confirmed:

Brendan Gleeson - Mad-Eye Moody
Frances De La Tour - Madame Maxine
Roger Lloyd-Pack - Bartemius Crouch
David Tennant - Bartemius Crouch Jr.
Pedja Bjelac - Igor Karkaroff
Jeff Rawle - Amos Diggory
Cedric Diggory - Robert Pattinson
Cho Chang - Katie Leung
Viktor Krum - Stanislav Yanevski
Fleur Delacour - Clemence Poesy

All the rest of the cast are returning

[GundamGuy_UK]

Did you find any images of the unheard-of actors where you found those out?

[WoodenCoyote]

Voldemort looks like my next-door neighbor o.o
*imagines the Dark Lord washing his car in jeans and a Coors Light t-shirt*

[Village Dag]

The Fleur girl has too darker hair I reckon, but the choice for Voldemort looks good.

[RCG_]

Voldemort has NOT been cast. Only speculation right now, but Warner Bro.s has not released anyone's name for that character.

[Link]

Is Cho Chang Chinese?

[GundamGuy_UK]

Yeah, both the character in the book, and the actress in the film, are Chinese.

[lostinzanarkand]

I recently read on some movie website that Harry Potter and the Gblet of Fire movie will have a budget of 350 Million dollars, that is the biggestmovie budget in history! :)

[Village Dag]

:eek: Hope it's not overblown.

[Betelgeux]

I hope it's one exceptionally good movie...

[BerserkerAzn]

It best be good. I think that for this movie they can afford to make the movie longer...right? People came to see a movie about the book, they can't complain if the movie's a little longer. That's how I feel, they should just make it really long...or they could just release the shortened version in theaters and the full eventually on DVD. Thanks for the info LostDragon, nice to see you roaming Pojo.

[BerserkerAzn]

Yeah, both the character in the book, and the actress in the film, are Chinese.

Hahahaha, an Azn debut in a Harry Potter movie, hahahaha.

^_^

[Betelgeux]

Or maybe create two movies and release one at Thanksgiving and the other at Christmas... or something... they'll try to make the most money out of it, after all...

[Emperor Anubis]

I would like it if it was 2 movies. I hate how they leave things out, or change them, no matter how necessary. I'd end the first part after the first task, before the second task, or after the dance. Probably before the second task.

[Busterslash35]

AzN Pryde! w00t! I actually thought my friend would be a decent Cho for the movie but there would be no way for her to audition and whatnot. Is there a picture anywhere of this Katie Leung who was cast for Cho?

[lostinzanarkand]

IMDB.com is the Internet Movie Database, it has entire cast listings for every movie, TV show and video games, most of the new cast of GOF is there, I really hope this movie is long. Gary Oldman will be in Batman Begins next year, Christian Bale plays the lead. Also, for RE fans you guys remember the magi guy from the Mummy right, he will play Carlos in the new Resident Evil Movie this september. A Persian playing a Hispanic, democrats have gone too far. damn michael moore!

[lostinzanarkand]

After three seconds of searching here is Katie Leung, who will play Cho Chang in the Harry Potter movies

http://www.mugglenet.com/viewer/?image_location=katieleung.JPG

[Charninja]

Not really the best pics out there... but still more than enough to make me hope that Hermione and Cho hook up instead of with Harry or Ron or that Russian kid (whatever his name is, I forget). Especially for the movies :D

Hey, a guy can dream, can't he?

[WoodenCoyote]

It she Korean or Chinese? Because the text is Korean

[Charninja]

Trust me, coyote, with a babe like that, I don't think anyone will really care. She could be from Minnesota for all it matters.

[TheOneSin]

Well said Charninja...Who cares??? (actually, I do. I'm Korean.)

Not really the best pics out there... but still more than enough to make me hope that Hermione and Cho hook up instead of with Harry or Ron or that Russian kid (whatever his name is, I forget). Especially for the movies :D

Hey, a guy can dream, can't he?


You're my hero Charninja.

[Tao Ren]

I'm korean as well, and she looks a little more Korean than Chinese to me...

But then again, she could be Chinese...

[Emperor Anubis]

Hermione and Cho hook up. Especially for the movies :D

Hey, a guy can dream, can't he?
Actually, I have sources that can almost confirm this very thing. It would be nice if that happened :) .

And it doesn't matter what Nationality she is, nobody'll care when they see the movie. Except maybe whoever is asking right here.Then it does matter. Have I contradicted myelf?

[WoodenCoyote]

Yea, they can't make the movie too long of the "numb-butt" factor becomes an issue.

[BerserkerAzn]

Wow LostDragon, you're on a roll today, thanxs for the pics.

[Emperor Anubis]

AzN Pryde! w00t! I actually thought my friend would be a decent Cho for the movie but there would be no way for her to audition and whatnot. Is there a picture anywhere of this Katie Leung who was cast for Cho?
It's in another thread, but I put it here anyway.
http://www.mugglenet.com/viewer/?image_location=katieleung.JPG

[Busterslash35]

Yes I saw that topic..

[Village Dag]

Not really the best pics out there... but still more than enough to make me hope that Hermione and Cho hook up instead of with Harry or Ron or that Russian kid (whatever his name is, I forget). Especially for the movies :D

Hey, a guy can dream, can't he?

God Dammit! That may happen, but there's a difference between imtimacy and sex.

[Village Dag]

Or maybe create two movies and release one at Thanksgiving and the other at Christmas... or something... they'll try to make the most money out of it, after all...

That may cause a loss of big bucks. Look at the Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions. When they released Revolutions not many people saw it and it stunk at the box office. But, you never know. ;)

[big_jimmy_s]

i alrady fel a little sorry for her she aint even in the films yet and people a photographing her while she is shopping and on the phone. sorry to be a kill joy

[dementor]

theres a differance

[TheOneSin]

Dementor, no double posts, and care to elaborate????

[WoodenCoyote]

Besides the fact that they're different nationalities and different cultures? Seriously, a lot of people I know who are Asian get p-ssed when you look at them and assume they're Chinese or Japanese etc because "they all look the same"

[ whoops, wrong difference ///_^; oh well, still a good argument. you can ignore me if you like ]

[Ace of Spades]

Charninja, this one's for you...

http://www.mugglenet.com/viewer/?image_location=kl2.jpg


NOTE: That ain't a real picture. Found it on the Mugglenet site.

And from what I know, I'm pretty sure that she's Korean. At any rate, she'll probably be fine for the role. Picture her with a Ravenclaw uniform on.

[Charninja]

Works for me, thanks ace!

*laughs maniacally as he goes to his secret under ground laboratory and starts working on his... plans...*

[bucosfan]

personally, i think that the movie should be at least three hours to get all the info in. POA was too short, too much stuff left out!

[Perfect Cell]

If you ask me they should just make a four hour movie but put an intermission in the middle of it.

Charninja, this one's for you...


Heh heh Charninjas not the only one who can appreciate fine photography....

[GundamGuy_UK]

Two points on things talked about at the moment here:

1. Katie Leung's father is from Hong Kong, mother is a Sctoland-born Chinese woman.

2. HP is a British movie, so a release on Thanksgiving means nothing to us, so it won't happen.

[Village Dag]

November ??-France
November 17-Germany, Russia
November 18-UK, USA
November 28-Australia
December 2-Bulgaria
December 8-Czetch Republic

NB. These dates are for 2005 to avoid any confusion.

[Evangelion Unit-Zeta]

Interesting. That was quite fast.

[Mystic Reaper]

its out in a foregin languge before english?!?!

[Blacklustersoldier69]

these are confirmed?

[bucosfan]

yes nov 18 2005 is confirmed. personally i think they are waiting too long now between movies, rupert will be 16 playing a fourteen year old in GOF, sam with the malfoy kid. hopefully JK releases the final two books before the kids are way over ther prime. here is the full cast for GOF (they started filming in March):

does anyone set pics?

[GTA3]

I was on MovieTickets.com to buy a ticket to see Harry Potter 3. But for some odd reason, Harry Potter 3 is no longer listed.

Is Harry Potter 3 off from the theatres or was it just sold out?

[WoodenCoyote]

It's playing still in 3 theaters here.

[MasterJimmy]

Just read this book, and after reading the list of the characters, its bringing back the greatness of it in my memories. It'll be a blast to see how the make the scene where Cedric and Harry get pulled through the portkey after the 3rd event to see all of the death eaters and the revival of Voldemort. Hah, itll be kinda funny to see if its anything that I had it set out in my head. And thats a lesson that I will remember, literature is great, and I just realised it. After reading this wonderful book, full of such amazing things, and having it brought up in your own perspective in your head, its truely spectacular.

[djcati]

Still in cinemas here.
After Spiderman 2 and Shrek 2, it's the movie with the most showings still...

[Emperor Anubis]

Still in NJ.

[Betelgeux]

It was listed the last time I went to the movies (two days ago), so it was probably just sold out on that particular website...

Also: John Williams may not do the score for GoF but instead for some movie about some Japanese Geisha...

[danman227460]

i wonder why these films are chalked full of unknowns. Jeez stick some hollywood actors/actress in here. I mean Halle Berry, John Travolta etc. but that might be asking to much. Still it would be great casting Sean Connery in this movie with his accent >.<

[RCG_]

Hey, I don't see Mrs. Weasley on that list. That can't be the full main cast

[Village Dag]

Yep, it's probably still in cinemas. There are still countries that don't have it yet. It may make it to number 1 of all time even.

[layarddog1]

danman227460, just because you've never heard of the actors doesnt mean they are unknowns. It's just that a lot they the actors made movies just for their own countries mainly. Most of them are probably known well in their own country.Except for the child actors. If you look at the lists of movies that the adult actors have made it is alot. All of them at lest 10. Plus it would ruin the movies if they put american in the movies.

[redshift71388]

Works for me, thanks ace!

*laughs maniacally as he goes to his secret under ground laboratory and starts working on his... plans...*

Ew..but that is a nice pic... :D

Hey is Snape still played by the same actor?

[dementor]

hey the one sin i wasnt double posting it was the village dag you fruit cake



yes snape is still being played by the same actor

OMG. Read what has been CUT from the movie!!!!

From Mugglenet:


--->

I used to work with a movie review site, and still get reports from some people who think I still do work there. Nowadays I don't use them, but this one I thought I would pass onto you. It contains MAJOR SPOILERS on the upcoming GOF film. My contact got about a half hour alone with a script while doing some work connected with the film. She didn't get to read it through and through, obviously, but got to do a good look of what's in and what's not. Here's a breakdown: (BEGIN SPOILERS) What's been cut: the SPEW storyline altogether, opening scene with the Dursleys, the Hogwarts express (there are shots of it, but nothing in the train,) and the wand weighing. What's still in: Creepy opening scene with Voldemort, Wormtail and Nagini. The Dark Mark scene, the "Potter Stinks" bit, the skrewts, the horntail challenge, the merpeople challenge (should be very cool!) The final challenge, although the spider may NOT be in it. (My source didn't remember seeing it.) The Sphinx is in. So is Dobby and Winky, the Portkeys, Crouch freaking out, the Pensieve scene and Cedric's end. Things that are drastically cut: Yule Ball, Quidditch World Cup, Rita Skeeter stuff (she's in it, but not as much as the book,) Harry stressing over the egg clue, Snape scenes (he's not in it much,) Hagrid & Maxine love story (it's there, but just reduced to a few brief moments for humor,) Dumbledore's humor (again... they never get him right!) Note on the ending: they manage to get it all pretty much in, which is surprising given what's going on. END SPOILERS. I have to tell you, I was disappointed when I heard they cut this from two movies to one, but it sounds like they really pulled it off. The second challenge really acts as a mid-movie action sequence that should blow the doors off of a lot of what we've seen so far in the films. The final challenge also sounds amazing, and the ending should be really creepy. I know they say this with every movie, but this one could be really eerie (not just "dark") because of the very evil Voldemort scenes. Not sure what the young ones will think of it. This stands to do justice to the book, and be the best movie of the series! (And after Cuaron's work, that's saying something!)
<---

NOOO!!!!! Quidditch World Cup and the Ball were awesome...<fumes>

[Hero of Time]

Who is directing it?

[Dark Malik]

Who is directing it?

Mike Newell. This was found from a very resourceful site called movietome

[Ace of Spades]

Very VERY dissapointed that the Ball is cut. One of my favorite scenes in any Harry Potter book ever. And Snape becomes a minor character! The injustice!

Wouldn't it be cool if they gave the movies the LOTR treatment and had big huge 2 hour extra footage and 3 disks worth of interviews and documentaries? Thag woulb be flurbing awgsome. *cleans up drool*

[BerserkerAzn]

That's EXACTLY what I wanted...but apparently what's in theaters is good enough.. (-_-)'

IMO:

1) Really long movie with an intermission...

2) 2-3 hour Extended DVD set.

:cool:

[Hero of Time]

That would be great. What is the resume of they director?

[Zen Daaz]

The ball isn't cut, just reduced.

[Yami Marik]

and Cedric Deggory was already in the 3rd movie(not for long) when the dementors tryed to get harry in the q. pitch

[Hunter Elite]

Quidditch World Cup......one of the most important parts in the entire book....dangit, they need to show the whole thing! It really sets up the book with foreshadowing on basically everything. (Death Eaters, Dark Mark, Winky, Krum, Crouch, its just too much)

[Blankauctions]

they didn't do great with POA...it just didn't have enough Action. :rolleyes:

I hope the 350 Million dollar budget makes it a 3 star movie...since POA was only a 2 and 1/2 star movie.

More enemies are needed...hmm, guess i'll have to wait for Movie 5 for more Enemies :rolleyes:

[Ace of Spades]

and Cedric Deggory was already in the 3rd movie(not for long) when the dementors tryed to get harry in the q. pitch

I get the feeling he wasn't meant to be Cedric but instead meant as just "Random Classmate #247". But when I saw the Hufflepuff captain, I was like "That is so Cedric". Who knows?

[Ace of Spades]

Rita Skeeter (http://www.mugglenet.com/viewer/?image_location=gof/skeeter.jpg)

[BerserkerAzn]

Huh, the movie pics are out already? I'll need to find more of these...where'd you go Mugglenet?

EDIT: <looks at link again> oh you did check Mugglenet.

[sevendash]

That looks like a good actress for Skeeter(that name does and always will remind me of that cartoon Doug), really fits the part.
I just hope they put enough time into it, there's no need for it to be released anytime soon. Let them finish shooting and put it together nicely. I kind of hope they extend(if they know the meaning of that word) the scene with Harry and Voldemort. It really needs to be dramatized and done well otherwise it'll kill the whole movie for me. Well, not really because I like most movies I see.

[BerserkerAzn]

Actually there are already a ton of pics.

[king_of_games_25]

I am surprised they cut the S.P.E.W plot I think it will play a bigger role in the books and I am just mad that they cut the QWC.

[BerserkerAzn]

I am surprised they cut the S.P.E.W plot I think it will play a bigger role in the books and I am just mad that they cut the QWC.

That was at the beginning, when they first started filming that hints about them taking out the QWC were announced, but I think that they decided to go with again. I can't remember. -_-

[GoldPheonix]

They're doing the casting for GoF at the moment I believe.

Does anyone know who any of the new cast are? Photos would be better, as chances are with the students we've never heard of them.

I know Cho Chang has been cast, but I don't know a name or anything.

EDIT: Found out who Cho is. She's being played by a 16-year-old girl in Scotland called Katie Leung.


Fleur Delacour has been cast aswell. It's someone called Clémence Poésy.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/images/40271000/jpg/_40271687_cecilethink.jpg

Viktor Krum is played by a Scottish guy, though I don't know who.

Robert Pattinson plays Cedric Deggory.

Ralph Fiennes is supposed to be playing Voldemort, though its not certain yet.

So if anyone finds any images of Leung or Pattinson, or the identity of Krum, please please post.

Katie Leung better be hot, because it's sad when Hermione is better looking than Fleur.... Jebus, wut are they doing to these movies!!!
Oh well, the 3rd movie was pretty good. I liked the Expecto Patronum, so the ending with the Pheonix's Song should be really tight!
Are they changing the actor for Dumbledore again?

PS. I'm glad they're cutting the S.P.E.W. plot, it's highly irrelivent.

[Ace of Spades]

Mugglenet reports that we'll see the first trailer in the spring. Can't wait.

[Majin yami]

Really, the film doesn't need to be four hours long:
10 minutes for the opening scene in the Riddle House
10 minutes for the QWC
5 minutes for the Dark Mark.
5 minutes for the Goblet of Fire
15 minutes for the first task.
10 minutes for the Yule Ball
5 minutes of Harry stressing over the egg.
20 minutes for the Second task
25 minutes for the third task
30 minutes for Voldermort's resurrection
15 minutes for a conclusion

All other stuff is irrelevant.

congratulations, you just made a movie with no linking scenes that no one will watch.,..besides, theres no way the movie will be 4 hours...


without the the subplots, all it will be is action, action, action, which is never what the films have never been about....they've always maintained a balance...not to mention the fact that if you rush it like that, you wont allow for charcter development.
as the movies progress, less and less is being shown.
frankly, the one thing that bothered my about the PoA movie is that they didn't explain the marauders map, or the marauders.....

[Alley Cat]

i dunno about u but i think that movie is gonna be extra super duper long. im thinkin four to four and a half hours maybe. And if the original cast makes it trough this movie, then i'll be surprised.

[WoodenCoyote]

i dunno about u but i think that movie is gonna be extra super duper long. im thinkin four to four and a half hours maybe. And if the original cast makes it trough this movie, then i'll be surprised.

There is no way anyone will watch a movie that long. They'd get Numb-butt.

[flame_champion]

look, you just can't air a 4 1/2 hour long movie..it just doesn't happen.
im suspecting with the obvious trimmings and such, with the time required for the airing of critical scenes and the scenes to make it all fit together, maybe 3 hours...tops.

prizoner of azkaban was 141 minutes including credits........true, GoF is longer, but it will be trimmed. smaller plotlines will be cut, and it will fit into 3 hours.

BTW, was that thing about Ralph Fiennes playing Voldemort true?
I hope so.
that would be awesome.


and BTW, there is no way the original cast will be around for a fifth movie. jeez, how old are they now? they're too old! radcliffe looks way older than 15...see the link posted earlier...not to mention he'll be close to ehat, 18?19? by the time OotP rolls around(if it does)

[Majin yami]

For christ's sake they aren't too old!! They look fine. Emma Watson is still only 15 and Harry and Ron 16. And besides, who else is going to play them?

BTW, yes, Ralph Fiennes is playing Voldermort and we won't see him until we watch the film. The same as with him in the first film and the Basilisk. It's the biggest kept secret in the studio.

[Ace of Spades]

More news on the film. From Mugglenet:

Heyman reveals more information on GOF
In an interview with Sci Fi Wire, producer David Heyman gives us a better look at what we can expect to see in the movie. In summary, we learn:

- Film will not deal with the subplot of SPEW because "It's Hermione's issue".
- A new piece of information has been put into a character.
- Scenes already filmed include the Weasley's "surprisingly spacious" tent and one described with "a trophy room filled with silvered plaques and cups of various sizes, the Ministry Box at the Quidditch World Cup stadium, and a faux marble Trial Chamber, which rises several stories high."

Heyman goes on to explain their reasoning behind what stays and what goes in the final cut of Goblet of Fire:

"Anything that doesn't really relate to Harry and Harry's journey is less relevant. That's not to say that there're not minor detours. Inevitably there are. But there are certain things that we don't spend as much time with as they do in the book, just by the very nature of the material."

[brndnfrtg]

Did Anyone see the sneak peak for the movie. The maze is HUGE!!!

[Ace of Spades]

And here is the trailer.

http://movies.apple.com/movies/wb/harry_potter_goblet/hp_gobletoffire_m480.mov

It looks better than I was expecting. All of the actors look alright. Durmstrang and Bauxbatons look just as I pictured them.

[Greg]

ive just seen it, it looks like a proper Harry Potter movie for once

[ORACLEPAGER1029]

I'm korean as well, and she looks a little more Korean than Chinese to me...

But then again, she could be Chinese...

She looks more Taiwanese (I think thats how you spell it) because her eyes are wider.

[Village Dag]

The Veela looks quite disappoiting. She looks more like just a blonde girl than anything else.

[I Use The Force]

yea i watched the Trailer...this movie is going to be really good. Goblet of FIre is my favorite book of all time..so excited

[Applepants1963]

Just saw the trailer myself, looks really good, really looking forward to it. I'm just waiting for one of the movies to stop mid-scene, and Harry to look at Hermione and say " Hermione, you've got breasts, when did that happen?" tee hee.

[Corpse Maker]

that maze is humongous. 10 times bigger than i pictured it. rons hair is getting pretty long. and emma watson is getting even hotter. ;)

[Airknight]

i am sure most of you have seen the pic of chang cho, if not click here (http://www.hpana.com/newsbrowser.cfm?tid=148). so what do you think of her?? i personally think she is not pretty enough for this part; and btw, an article in the newspaper from somewhere stated a lot of HP fans are disappointed about her.

what do you think??

[WildWill]

ANYTHING regarding the film goes in THIS thread and this thread ONLY. There's no need to start ANY new threads regarding the movie.

[Techlis]

Actually, I think she looks just about right, if a tad too mature-looking. That's going to become a problem with all the actors before the movies are done. But then, the WB has made an art of getting twenty-somethings to look and behave like fifteen-year-olds in many of its series, so I'm sure the same will work out here.

But Maggie Smith is pretty old. I hope the movies conclude before anything happens to the older actors and actresses. They already lost one Dumbledore; fortunately with all that hair, Dumbledore can be played by lots of people and still look pretty much the same. McGonagall might not be so easy. I thought Maggie Smith was too old to begin with but she plays the part very well.

[Busterslash35]

If you wanted to know the spoiler color, you could've read the FAQ in the Messageboard Q&A forum instead of testing it in a post.

Katie Leung looks like an okay Cho, but it'll be how she looks on screen that will count.

[Corpse Maker]

an interview about the movie with the director, mike newell:

BRIANNE CISNEROS: You have to make sure some stuff is used in this movie because it is important in the future movies. How much does J.K. Rowling actually tell you about the other stories?

MIKE NEWELL: "J.K. Rowling keeps each story absolutely insulated from all the other stories so that nobody but J.K. Rowling knows about Book 6, which is to be published in three months time. So, other than what I read in Book 5, I have no special knowledge of the future needs of the story. I simply do what seems to be sensible for setting up the next film."


BC: How do you film the underwater parts of the Triwizard Tournament? Is it really underwater or is it computer?

MN: "The underwater sequence is both filmed naturally underwater and also heavily computerized. We built a huge tank, the biggest in Europe,specially to make this sequence. We made very careful drawings/illustrations of every movement of the sequence and then we shot the human being action exactly to those illustrations, but against a underwater bluescreen with which the tank was lined. So Harry's in the tank, doing all the movements he has to do but not against real underwater scenery. Just against the blue. Then the computer people come along and put in all the backgrounds- the rocks, the weeds, the fish, and of course the Mermaids, and the Grindylows."


BC: Are the dragons in the first task of the Tri-wizard Tournament computer generated graphics or machines? If they are computer generated, how do you direct something like that?

MN: "The dragons in the First Task are cg entirely. The process is: First, imagine your dragon, take your imaginings to an illustrator called an concept artist and get him to draw and draw, making constant changes at my direction until I feel the dragon is convincing. Then those drawings are made into models. They are modeled in clay, and changes are made to make them even more real, then they are painted. So that, at the end, you have a full size inanimate sculpture of the dragon. This is then photographed from every angles and the photos[are] scanned into a computer which works out every tiny measurement of the sculpture. Then the sequence of action is again drawn out with an illustrator and the computer takes those drawings and turns them into the real picture, adding the dragon as it goes."


BC: Who decides what to leave out of the movie and what to change from the book so that it works in the movie.

MN: "This is a very difficult matter and is worked out in huge discussions between representatives of Warner Bros, the scriptwriter, the producer, the director, and sometimes J.K. Rowling. It takes a long time, and while it's happening you constantly seesaw back and forth on certain things- Dobby should be in, Dobby should be out, Dobby should be in, Dobby should be out-and so forth. After a while, everybody gets a feel for what would work in a movie as opposed to what works in a novel."

BC: In all the other movies, Hermione is not as plain, big toothed or bushy haired as she is in the books. In the book, nobody recognizes Hermione at the Yule Ball because she is so dressed up and beautiful. Is there going to be alot of time spent on that?

MN: "I think Emma Watson is a pretty girl, but I don't think she is super model beautiful. She's just like a real ordinary person. When she goes to the ball, we've made her look as beautiful and stylish as we knew how but still recognisably herself. We don't spend a huge amount of time on it, but the way she looks does very much surprise Harry and Ron. And she's very excited to be invited by the Quidditch hero, Viktor Krum. He takes a real shine to her, and it's a very sweet relationship even though Ron is tortured with jealousy."


BC: The Dursleys are not a big part of this book, but I really like the letter with all the stamps and Mr Weasley blowing up the living room after he gets trapped in the fireplace. Are they in the movie at all? And secondly, I initially heard that this book was going to be two movies(Yay :)), but that they decided to make just one Boo :( ). What's good about it being one movie and what's bad about it being one movie.

MN: "I'm very sorry the Durselys are not in the movie at all. I, too, found the little scene very funny, but it's not neccessary for the telling of the story of Book 4, as it was in Books 1,2, and 3. So because were were making one, not two films, and something had to be let go, we decided the Dursleys were one of those things. We were sad about it. What's good about it being one movie is that the Tri-Wizard Tournament and Voldemort's plot to get Harry become very taut and very exciting because a lot of the purely descriptive stuff in the novel must be let go. That means the main story becomes a very tight, exciting, fast-paced thriller. Of course, what you miss are the fascinating little details, which in some cases, there just isn't room for. So it's swings and roundabouts what can I tell you?"




im pissed that there's no dursleys in the movie.

[graverobbers]

LOl i took you 4 days to read GOF? i TOOK me 2 days to read OOTP..
EDIT: *pre-ordering HBP
no offence but *cough*bookworm*cough* ;) so does anyone know what the world record is i reckon it'd be about 23 hours

[Corpse Maker]

no offence but *cough*bookworm*cough* ;) so does anyone know what the world record is i reckon it'd be about 23 hours
Will said that he read OotP in 5 hours after it came out.

[Ace of Spades]

I read Order of the Phoenix in 2 1/2 days. And I was trying to pace myself then. I reckon I'll finish Half-Blood Prince in one night.

[Gonk]

Quidditch World Cup......one of the most important parts in the entire book....dangit, they need to show the whole thing! It really sets up the book with foreshadowing on basically everything. (Death Eaters, Dark Mark, Winky, Krum, Crouch, its just too much)
I agree.

I think it should go for longer than 4 hours, even but they might cut it down to 2 or something, I dunno.

And they've found some of the best actors for the job. Cho Chang looks exactly like what I'd have imagined. Well done!

I am Thai, if anyone wants to know.

[Black Paladin]

she's (http://www.myblog.fr/albums/Casting-Harry-Potter-4/85096.jpg) gonna be Cho?!?!?! *faints*

this movie really is worth watching :D

[Airknight]

she's (http://www.myblog.fr/albums/Casting-Harry-Potter-4/85096.jpg) gonna be Cho?!?!?! *faints*

this movie really is worth watching :D
WHAT!? this picture is very differed with the one i saw. *sigh* the make-ups nowadays are just unbelievable~~~ well, at least she would be pretty enough with the make-ups.

[BerserkerAzn]

She looks hot, but it's not the Cho Chang I was imagining.

[sixersballernum3]

Not the Cho I imagined either.

But it won't ruin the movie for me...I don't think.

[DarkFire224]

Ya, that Japanese looking girl is finer than China (the dish plate kind)

Does anybody know why it's released to theaters so late?...

[fredisgreat]

everyone, please don't post pictues of my girlfriend like that, it's very rude...

I don't think a release date is out yet, maybe it is, I don't know...

[Corpse Maker]

its out on november 18

[Darth Payne]

I recently read on some movie website that Harry Potter and the Gblet of Fire movie will have a budget of 350 Million dollars, that is the biggestmovie budget in history! :)

It better be REALLY good then. I was a bit disappointed with the third.

[fredisgreat]

Wow, thats a lot of money, GoF was my 2nd least favorite book. I'll still see the movie, though.

[sk8erboiyugi]

GoF was one of my favorite books. Order, I thought sucked. It took me the longest to read. Prisoner was a great movie, better than the first 2. The feeling was more darker. What you would expect. The acting wasn't as hollow. But they did mutilate the book. But honestly, if they crammed everthing into the movie, it would be to long.

[Busterslash35]

They could've chosen better parts to keep in or leave out.

[ORACLEPAGER1029]

I saw the trailer, it wasn't much though. It was the pictures on yahoo.com in motion.

[DarkEvangelist2005]

I personally love the casting choice for Mad-Eye Moody. I looooove Brendan Gleeson. He is so good at character's like him. I haven't heard of some of the new people playing the part's ala krum and declour(or however you pronounce her name). Geeeeezzzz. 350 mill for the fourth movie. They'd better have some jaw dropping visuals if they're racking that much though. I mean look at the werewolf from movie 3(eeeeewwww). They had better do better with that kind of budget.

[ORACLEPAGER1029]

I just heard that after they make movie 5 they will recast the students because the actors are getting too old.

[fredisgreat]

I just heard that after they make movie 5 they will recast the students because the actors are getting too old.
Yea, thats what I fugures it takes them 2-3 years to make a movie and it's only suppose to be 1 yea, there probably already like 17, and thy'er suppose to play 14 year olds.

[Hollow Golem]

Dude, Fleur better be a lot hotter than those pics. Nobody drools over something like that. She's way hotter on the cover of GoF for Pete's sake.

[DarkEvangelist2005]

Yea, thats what I fugures it takes them 2-3 years to make a movie and it's only suppose to be 1 yea, there probably already like 17, and thy'er suppose to play 14 year olds.

It doesn't take 2-3 years to actually make the movie. It usually takes 5-10 months of filming. I don't think they should re cast at all. They had Olivia newton john in grease and she was liek over 20. Same with JT. Lindsay Lohan is constantly playing 15-16 yr old's. Because of that I don't think that they will re cast the students. That's what I think at least. It is definently not imperitive to re cast the character's IMHO. They should just keep them.

[Darth Payne]

They might have to recast them for like Movie 7, but not now.

[Shiro the Commander]

With the budget they have for Goblet of Fire, I better have my money's worth at the theater. I hope the effects with Mad Eye Moody's magical eye look freaking sweet.

[Hollow Golem]

With the budget they have for Goblet of Fire, I better have my money's worth at the theater. I hope the effects with Mad Eye Moody's magical eye look freaking sweet.

Mad eye Moody's eye doesn't really need a budget... with all their super comps it'll be easy. All it does is roll around.

[Darth Payne]

no offence but *cough*bookworm*cough* ;) so does anyone know what the world record is i reckon it'd be about 23 hours

No offense, but if you think the world record would be 23 hours, you are one sad reader. I read Half Blood Prince in approximately 9 hours, and I'm 13 years old.

[HPfreak]

I cant wait till this movie comes out!

[Darth Payne]

I cant wait till this movie comes out!

Yes you can. You're waiting right now aren't you? :p

[Ace of Spades]

Katie Leung in costume here. (http://www.mugglenet.com/viewer/?image_location=gof/katieleung_teen.jpg)

A little younger than I pictured her, but she's nice.

[MetalYugi23]

No offense, but if you think the world record would be 23 hours, you are one sad reader. I read Half Blood Prince in approximately 9 hours, and I'm 13 years old.

Yeah I'd say it took me 9-11 hours to read, once you sit down it really doesn't take that long, I'm also 13.

[Ace of Spades]

Check it out.

Barty Crouch (http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/images/2005/08/bartycrouch.html)
Igor Karkaroff (http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/images/2005/08/karkaroff.html)
Mad-Eye Moody (http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/images/2005/08/madeye.html)

Crouch is just like I pictured him. They nailed Karkaroff, and Moody looks good outside of the magic eye. It isn't supposed to be on an eyepatch, that's why it's so creepy.

[Hollow Golem]

Check it out.

Barty Crouch (http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/images/2005/08/bartycrouch.html)
Igor Karkaroff (http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/images/2005/08/karkaroff.html)
Mad-Eye Moody (http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/images/2005/08/madeye.html)

Crouch is just like I pictured him. They nailed Karkaroff, and Moody looks good outside of the magic eye. It isn't supposed to be on an eyepatch, that's why it's so creepy.

Omg, OMFG. First Moody's eye (according to cover) is on the wrong eye, Second it looks like hell just threw up, ate it, threw it up again, and then a cat pee'd on it.

[sixersballernum3]

Moody looks exaclty as I pictured him. but not with that eyepatch.

That's rather lame.

[Jesusisdaman]

They might have to recast them for like Movie 7, but not now.


That would stink cause when people recast......The movies are not as good if they dont have the Original....

[ShadowZ]

i didnt think they are that bad, but i didnt like the 3rd one that much

[ReFoRmEd]

I saw a trailer for the next movie online.....dont know if they already have them in teh movies but the movie looks like its going to be pretty good.

[ShadowZ]

where was it at?

[kenshindies]

where was it at?

just go to any harry potter site or here (http://harrypotter.warnerbros.co.uk/gobletoffire/index.html)

[ShadowZ]

omg that movie looks soo awsome

[thenextsuperhero]

this will be a good movie. I can't wait for it to come out

[Darth Payne]

Why do I get this feeling that this movie's going to be a letdown for me?

[ShadowZ]

because your that type of person? :D

[Majin yami]

Moody looks like s**t. The eyepatch is rubbish and he's nowhere near grizzled enough.

[johnnyd2]

Ive heard rumors that ANDY MILONAKIS will be voicing the Goblet of Fire. is this true or a load of BS?

[Emnm]

Holy Crap, this is a better movie than I expected it will be just by the glimpse of the trailer. In fact, it looks even better than I imagined. I can't wait to see this movie.

[Darth Payne]

Moody looks like s**t. The eyepatch is rubbish and he's nowhere near grizzled enough.

Where did you see him? I can't find him anywhere.

[BerserkerAzn]

There's a better pic somewhere but here's a glimpse, found it in two minutes, google is your friend. (http://www.hpana.com/news.18723.html)

[Darth Payne]

There's a better pic somewhere but here's a glimpse, found it in two minutes, google is your friend. (http://www.hpana.com/news.18723.html)

Thanks. That isn't the Moody I imagined, or saw in the pictures in the books.

[User#27]

... nothing like I imagined him. I was thinking more along the lines of Marv from Sin City... ah well.

[Greg]

http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=20945


it is confirmed. HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE will be PG-13.

[checkmate52]

Not at all surprising.

The remainder of the books will probably be the same if they make movies out of them....but i wouldnt be surprised if they considered rating the 7th one "R".

[sixersballernum3]

I highly doubt Harry Potter would pull in as many profits if it was rated R.

At my theatre, hundreds of little kids attend the movie the first week, and I ihghly doubt their parents would allow them to watch an R rated movie.

And I think the producers know this.

[checkmate52]

true true...but i wouldnt be surprised if its brought up and then shot down at a staff meeting.

[Darth Payne]

http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=20945


it is confirmed. HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE will be PG-13.

Good. I hate little kids. The less privileges and fun they have, the happier I am.

I highly doubt any of the movies except maybe the 7th one will be rated R.

[ShadowZ]

awsome pg-13, that means that they will stick to JKs origional dark feeling of the books

[Hero of Time]

Good. I hate little kids. The less privileges and fun they have, the happier I am.

I highly doubt any of the movies except maybe the 7th one will be rated R.

And you know what will happen in book seven to make it rated R?

[checkmate52]

And you know what will happen in book seven to make it rated R?

true true

*hears complaining* alright alright....ill take back the idea that it wont be rated R...wait....we dont even know if its even worthy of it...we havent seen book 7 yet so what makes us think that it deserves it...we dont even know if production will make it past book 5 which is being made a movie w00t :D

[Ace of Spades]

Good. I hate little kids. The less privileges and fun they have, the happier I am.


Quite true. Darn kids and their rap music.

PG-13. Good. Azkaban should've been like this too. I'm very aprehensive about Goblet of Fire after Azkaban. Really didn't care for that one.

[Sephiroth5567]

And you know what will happen in book seven to make it rated R?


What'll happen? Tell me something graphic that will happen to make it R-rated!

[HPfreak]

What'll happen? Tell me something graphic that will happen to make it R-rated!
Well, maybe just maybe The whole seen between Harry and Voledomort could make it R-rated... I am not so sure but it is definately a posibility...

[Darth Payne]

And you know what will happen in book seven to make it rated R?

I said it might be rated R because we don't know what's in it. I was just saying it could go either way. For all we know, Harry could become a p.ron maniac in the 7th book. Most likely not.

[CuttingEdge]

its going to be a great movie... :D

[Darth Payne]

its going to be a great movie... :D

Why yes, yes it will.

[BetaAlphaGamma]

Has the next trailer came out yet? i'm tired of seeing the teaser^_^

thanks:)

[Peanut Butter]

they will not make it R becasue then all the yournger viewers would not see it and they woulr lose alot of money the fans are mostly teenager/kids

[Ace of Spades]

So anyway, there's this new trailer out, right? You can find it at Mugglenet (http://www.mugglenet.com/). It's the sixth newspost down, titled "Even bigger International Trailer". Quicktime or WMP.

Looking good. I'm becoming more optimistic about this movie the more I see it in action.

[Darth Payne]

That trailer was awesome. A lot more action and a darker theme thatn the others.

[Sephiroth5567]

I hope the actress who plays Fleur does a cruddy job. I hated her in the books.

[puflin4]

that was an awesome trailor

[superman]

Harry potter movies getting better and better! By the time

[SuperSayian4]

The Fleur girl has too darker hair I reckon, but the choice for Voldemort looks good.

Yeah her hair should have been like it was in the book, but were are you going to find a silver haired-Girl at?

[Ace of Spades]

New theatrical trailer. (http://pdl.stream.aol.com/aol/us/moviefone/movies/2005/harrypotterandthegobletoffire_019563/harrypotterandthegobletoffire_trlr_02_fugfvv_dl.mo v)

It's looking great. Everybody shows up in this one. Can't wait for November 15th.

[Near]

omg moody looooooooks so bad! like a piece of *****!! (with a pirate captain eye)
man they ruined it..

[Hero of Time]

New theatrical trailer. (http://pdl.stream.aol.com/aol/us/moviefone/movies/2005/harrypotterandthegobletoffire_019563/harrypotterandthegobletoffire_trlr_02_fugfvv_dl.mo v)

It's looking great. Everybody shows up in this one. Can't wait for November 15th.

It didn't work for me.

[Darth Payne]

Yeah her hair should have been like it was in the book, but were are you going to find a silver haired-Girl at?
Uh wig maybe. Or less brighter blonde.

the trailers not working for me.

[Pezzy]

Not everybody shows up... No Dobby... And they mess up the Quiddich Cup... And made up dance lessons...

Sometimes I hate the creative licenses these directors take.

[edit: added]
Oh, and if you want to see the trailer on the big screen, it opens with the advance showing of Corpse's Bride this weekend, and with it's world premiere next weekend.

Also, GOF was shown in movie theatres a few months ago (tho missing some CG effects) in advance showings, so copies are out on the net in hidden and less traveled circles. Don't ask me where to get it. I'm personally waiting to see it in the theatre, even though it will suck compared to the book.

[Ace of Spades]

even though it will suck compared to the book.

Oh, I don't think it'll be that bad. It can't be worse than "Emma Watson and the Prisoner of Azkaban", though.

[DigiAngel]

Sorry I accidentally posted before I was done typing.Sorry!

[DigiAngel]

It looks pretty good,IMO. The best one yet,dare I say it?
Though I don't like what they did with Moody(my favorite character)
appearance-wise anyways,one can't complain too much about these things.

It's just a movie,afterall. ;)

[brndnfrtg]

Theres alot of things they Fed up on in the movies. But Who is the guy with the skull on his face??

[DarkFire224]

I personally would like watching the movie more, only cuase the books are too long. I read the first book and half, so skip books, ima see GOP in theaters!...

[Landstar 01]

I heard some stuff about order of the phoenix's release.

I think it's confirmed that Jason Issacs is playing Lucius Malfoy in film 6, and that all three of the main cast are going to stay on for the next one.

Also, it's scheduled for realease in May 2007.

If you go to darkmark.com, they have a countdown to the release of the fourth film. My mom likes the idea, but i'm not fussed. Maybe this'll prove useful for people.

[finalfantasyfreak]

I just saw a trailer for it the other day ago. It looks AMAZING!!!

[Darth Payne]

I still can't see it. Anyone have the same problem?

[DarkFire224]

I have the same problem. Maybe it is becuase the media player you have doesn't have the file type for it. I know that is what happens for me...

[SuperSayian4]

I've seen the newest Trailer just now. Here's the site

http://movies.yahoo.com/mv/mf/frame?theme=minfo&lid=wmv-56-p.1380102-152972,wmv-100-p.1380103-152972,wmv-300-p.1380104-152972,wmv-700-p.1380105-152972&id=1808475610&f=1808475610&mspid=1808725650&type=t

[Zanmato]

I saw Voldemort. May I say, they made him look so cool.

[ShadowZ]

I've seen the newest Trailer just now. Here's the site

it loads like 90% and then stops =/

[SuperSayian4]

Give it a couple minutes. As for Voldemort looking cool., yeah he does. The Dark Mark looks just as I thought it would.

[Hero of Time]

I saw Voldemort. May I say, they made him look so cool.

DO you have a screenshot of him that you could link us to?

[SuperSayian4]

DO you have a screenshot of him that you could link us to?

Yeah, watch the Trailer.

[Hero of Time]

OMFG. The movie looks awesome. How come Voldemort looks so dead?

[SuperSayian4]

Well considering the fact that he was reborn from his fathers bones, yeah he probably would look dead.

[DaVinci]

Regardless how he was reborn, he was like all chalky and snake-like before his downfall, because of all the dark magic he researched or whatever

I'm not sure if this was discussed on early replies to this topic, but am I the only one dissapointed on how mad-eye moody looks? I mean the magical eye looks awful, it's not an eye anymore as much as that thing pirates wear ( I can't remember the word)

[SuperSayian4]

You mean Eye patch?

[ShadowZ]

Give it a couple minutes. As for Voldemort looking cool., yeah he does. The Dark Mark looks just as I thought it would.

it still didnt work, and i gave it like 30 minutes =/ oh well... they had a quick thing of voldy in the previous one...

im disappointed by moody too, i expected the eye to be about 4x the size of a normal one, and now with a eye patch =/(sort of just a big hole where it goes...)

[MercenaryOfDoom]

I have a feeling this going to ahlf make people happy and half disapoint people. Can't wait to see though :p

[SuperSayian4]

Evderytime I watch the Trailer, I get so pissed because i really want to see the movie. Im going to see it either the day it comes out or a few days afterwards.

[DaVinci]

You mean Eye patch?

Yeah that, I can never remember that stupid word. Anywya, that's just how mad-eye's eye looks, an eye patch with a fake eye glued on top of it, nothing like i really imagined it. They COULD have used prostetics ( hope that's the right word), they can't be that expensive can they?

[superman]

When is the movie release, i have not seen a commercial nor not been going to the movie theater?

[Niamh]

It is released in the UK ,US ,Ireland and surrounding countries on November 18th but the premiere is on Nov.6th in London .Is there anyone going from Ireland?

[ZanarkandAce]

I just saw a commercial today.... Pretty sweet....

[DarkFire224]

Harry's hair is so sexi in this movie.

Hermione actually has boobs now!

[sixersballernum3]

Anyone found some screen shots of the characters from this movie? I can't load the trailers.

[Pezzy]

Harry's hair is so sexi in this movie.

Hermione actually has boobs now!

I thought his hair sucked.

[Emnm]

Regardless how he was reborn, he was like all chalky and snake-like before his downfall, because of all the dark magic he researched or whatever

I'm not sure if this was discussed on early replies to this topic, but am I the only one dissapointed on how mad-eye moody looks? I mean the magical eye looks awful, it's not an eye anymore as much as that thing pirates wear ( I can't remember the word)

Yeah I agree. I would have thought it would be an actually eye slightly enlarged compared to the normal one. It sucks that his eye is now an eyepatch. Oh well, the movie still look good.

[Pezzy]

I think the problem with the eye is that it just would have been too hard to make it exactly the way it is described in the book. But look at that one guy in Pirates of the Caribean... He kinda had the eye eaction that Moody should have, so it couldn't have been too difficult to make it similar to that.

[Niamh]

Hi,
Sorry I know this is totally of the point but is there anyone going to the premiere from a different country to the UK like Ireland?
And I think Mad-Eye Moodys eye is a letdown compared to what was described in the book!

[Darth Payne]

Hi,
Sorry I know this is totally of the point but is there anyone going to the premiere from a different country to the UK like Ireland?
And I think Mad-Eye Moodys eye is a letdown compared to what was described in the book!
Yeah. The moving eye isn't even close to being like the illustration.

[brndnfrtg]

I looked at a close up view of the tralier and, um, it's not really an eyepatch.

it's like a holder for the eye thats in it. I mean it can roll around so it would make sence for it to have a holder type thing.

I'll get a pic soon.

[Darth Payne]

My school's having a showing for this at a theatre reserved just for students.

Kind of stupid. We could go with our friends when we felt like it and not have teachers force us to behave. :rolleyes:

Just a sad attempt to ruin our weekend.

Anyone else's school doing this?

[Emnm]

Well its on his eye, so I still say its an eyepatch.

There's (http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hv&id=1808475610&cf=pg&photoid=590155&intl=us) your picture. Oh and it's PG-13.

[HarryPotter]

Thats what I dont get, why is it rated PG-13?

[Clare]

Because it's somewhat darker and scarier than the first three movies. The British censors gave it a 12A, which is the equivelant of PG13.

[sixersballernum3]

Yeah, that's still an eye patch to me.

Has anyone found any shots of Voldemort? I'm interested in seeing him. I can't do trailers, I'm on 56k.

[Emnm]

Thats what I dont get, why is it rated PG-13?

It is greater scarier scenes and horrifying images. I don't feel PG-13 is an appropriate rating, it should have been PG. But, on the other hand, I remembered in the Sorcerer's stone and I saw kids crying after seeing the horrifying image of Voldemort. Whatever. It would be a lot scarier compared to previous films and the theme would be much darker in terms of the plot.

[ZanarkandAce]

I saw a trailer last night on TV, and I am pretty sure (95%) that they showed Voldemort... It looked pretty good. But the Death Eaters causing havoc during the Quiddich world cup looked a little like (That racist southern group who wears sheets and think that they should rule the world... Those who must not be named :P) wearing black instead of white.....

[ShadowZ]

isnt that pretty much what they are in the wizarding world? also are we not allowed to say the kkk on the forums?

[sixersballernum3]

Dude, the KKK is a group of people who believe their race is superior. The Dementors are prison guards. No correlation.

Edit: Sorry. Thought he said dementors, but he said death eaters. :o

[Hero of Time]

I don't think he was refering to the Dementors. He was refering to the death eaters and how theirs outfits made the look like KKK members.

[sixersballernum3]

Oh, crap, he said Death Eaters. I thought he said Dementors. My bad, guys.

[RedEyes Black Dragon]

I saw the trailer while watching my fav show, and I'm very impressed! I think the Dark Mark looks pretty pretty cool. Can't wait for it!

[InEviTabLe.SiN]

I saw the trailler at the Movies when we went to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The trailler was wicked on the big screen and I think the movie will be even better. It's due for release December the 1st over here.

[sixersballernum3]

Oh man, cannot wait. I'm gonna try to get it on Friday, but I dunno if I'll be able to.

[ORACLEPAGER1029]

It's a shame John Williams isn't doing the music, but it's a chance to hear something new.

[pineapple4brains]

comes out in a few days

can't wait fo sho

[Shake N' Bake]

[Darth Payne]

He sin't? Who is?

My school's having a showing for it. We sign up, pay, get crowded into a private theatre with teachers nagging at us, when we could have gone with our friends for the same price and not have naggy teachers.

Sounds like a great idea huh?

This is just another way the Man is keeping us down!!!

[HarryPotter]

I cant want for the movie to come out Friday. My Aunts taking me to see it for my birthday.

[InEviTabLe.SiN]

I don't think this is a spoiler, its just about the water scene. Sorry about if it has already been posted.

SPOILER:

The water scene of the Triwizard Tournament are cut into 15 second intervals and shot inside a giant watertank. So like every 15 seconds, they'd tell the actors to get out of the water. Then, they'd shoot again. Reason? Something about the insurance the actors have. They have edited it very well so you probably won't notice that happening.There was something else I wanted to mention, but I forgot. And have you seen Ron's hair!? lol

[brndnfrtg]

Hay, that how long my hair is, oh wait, nvm.

[Niamh]

I cant wait to see the GoF today,im bringing my little sister i have the tickets already!!!(im not sad!!)who else is going? :)

[BerserkerAzn]

My friends saw the midnight showing and I'm watching today at 5 pm.

[necrofear]

me and my girlfriend are going tonight at 7pm. I cant wait.

[brndnfrtg]

I'm going on Monday :(.

[InEviTabLe.SiN]

It's not coming out until 1st December over here in Australia. Damn you lucky people.

[ORACLEPAGER1029]

I'm going to see it around Thanksgiving with my sister. Seeing Harry Potter movies on Thanksgiving is a tradition or ours.

[Watto]

I have no idea when I'm going. Sometime soon, I hope...

[Airknight]

anyone saw the movie yet??

[Landstar 01]

I've seen it, and it is soooooooo cool!!!

As expected, they've botched up nearly everything (as in, leaving out a lot of details, and changing a lot as well). However, it's great for the entertainment value, and the acting is great (even from Daniel, Rupert and Emma). Also, Voldemort looks pretty good, and the scene in the Graveyard is probably one of the best in the film.

And one more thing, if you're a fan of the evergrowing friendship between Ron and Hermione, then you'll love it when they row over the Yule Ball, and you see Ron get soooo jealous.

Probably the best of the 4 films so far, but with any luck, Order of the Phoenix will be groundbreaking as a Children's film.

(Sorry for rambling on)

[Hero of Time]

Awesome movie. My favorite. Everyone should see it. GoF > OotP

I doubt the Order of the Phoenix movie will be as good as GoF. I mean the book is the longest and the most boring in the series, no offence to people who liked it. It would take some good directing and acting to turn Order of the Phoenix into an awesome movie. I hear they are already doing the casting for that movie. This is just my opinion, though.

Hah, my younger cousin doesn't want to watch Harry Potter GoF as he thought the trailer was scary. (Was it? I reckon' the trailer was awesome!) He wants to watch Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. :rolleyes: Although I hear that is a good movie too.

It would be scary for younger children, I would say the mermaid did it. It was a pretty disturbing face.

[BerserkerAzn]

I just finished watching it.

Let's just say that it's probably because GoF is my favorite book that the movie disappointed me so much. I HATED it. (Actually...anything short of me actually directing it would've been bad 4 me :p )

Voldemort was CRAP. He didn't come off as "Dark" just "stupid-evil". =/

-The Dragons/Grindylows/Merpeople were cool.
-Cedric/Cho/Fleur were cool. The last two were unbelievably hot. Azn Brits rock.
-Moody was too wacky and childish. The Unforgivable Curses scene was just meh.

I wrote my own version of a review+Props/Slops, but I feel it was too crudely written to actually post it.

[Hero of Time]

Yeah man. Cho was a hottie. And not being racist here, but I don't have a thing for Asian girls. But that girl was hot.

[sixersballernum3]

Meh, I didn't like it.

Points like Crouch's Death were just borugh up too abrubtly, with no explanation and no consequences later.

Dobby was left out of the movie, with Neville substituted to give him the Gilliweed, and they left out the sphinx.

It just seemed like they made a 4 hour movie, then sliced out parts until it was short enough.

Dragons were cool, as were the Merpeople, but Voldemort was horrible. He was just goofy, not evil. And Moody, while the look was good, he acted too silly.

Overall, I still think PoA is the best movie.

Glad I'm not the only one.

I personally liked Chamber of Secrets. It was long, but very true to the story and had very little flaws IMO.

[MetallicPyreal]

Excellent film, much better then the craptastic PoA movie.

The Good
-Cho and Fleur were very hot.
-Nice acting, especially from Moody and the three main actors.
-The ferret scene was still pretty funny.
-Krum was cool. Although he didnt get enough lines.
-When they were in the maze, it seemed like a good old 80s slasher flick with Krum walking around and taking out Fleur. And the look on his face was pretty cool.
-The dragons were excellent.

The Bad
-No sphinx.
-Dumbledore's acting.
-Voldemort was overacting and exaggerating his "darkness" and "evilness", so much that he looked lame instead of cool.
-They took out the thing with Rita Skeeter being a beetle animagus.
-Crouch's death was too abrubt.
-No Dobby.

[Hero of Time]

Oh yeah. And Katie Leung is from Scotland. I like cool accents. It seems rather odd for an Asian person to have such an accent so foreign to Asia.

[Piroko]

Disappointed I was. I suppose I was trying to be patient, and they rushed te movie's plot too quickly. Maybe it's just me.
