Harry Potter 4 -- The Goblet of Fire
« on: October 27, 2005, 04:12:41 AM »
I have to say I am getting very excited for this movie. I can't believe it will be released in less than a month--on November 18! It certainly has snuck up on me.

This article makes me curious to see how they cut the story to make it more of "a thriller" and driving toward the final encounter in the graveyard, as the director said. I also think it is interesting that this is the first Harry Potter movie to be rated PG-13, though it is true that this is where people start dying.

As a side note--can anyone find a larger trailer than the one they have at the official site?

i know what you mean.  I am looking forward to it also.  I haven't read the books, and probably never will.  But I know what happens in the books from what my roommates tell me.  
everything was going fine, until i critically failed my intelligence check!

It's snuck up on me, too. I didn't actually even know the release date till you just said it--just that it was coming up soon.

Thanks for the trailer, Sprig. It had great clarity. I could even see the freckles on Hermione's face (though that was also a little weird).

But the special effects look great--like the scene with the dragon. And the Yule Ball looks like fun too. I'm excited!  ;D

Ask, Jeffe, I had funky hair. Now I pretty much shave it all off every couple months. Less maintenance that way.

You know, if I hadn't read the book already, I'd hate the 2nd trailer.  It's got plenty enough spoilers, à mon avis.

True enough, but honestly--who hasn't read the book yet?

I am so with you on that. Though I'll still love him, even if he looks like a homeless mongrel.

Harry's looking a little shaggy, too. But they keep prettying Hermione up. It was really only in the first movie that she had the frizzy hair of the book.

Ah, well. That's Hollywood for you. But you'd think if they were going to doll up the girl they would get the boys some decent hair cuts.

Actually, considering how pig-headed Harry is going to act in the next movie, that look works for him.  Maybe after he starts becoming responsible he'll give himself and Ron a haircut.

If you haven't already bought your tickets for opening day, good luck. They've sold out in all the local Provo/Orem theaters for Friday and most of Saturday.
