Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire


l've seen the movie last saturday at NCCC mall with elai, dhawell, karen, cj, donna, madel, erickson, joseph and matet...then, last sunday, i watched it again with my cousins...
i can say it's too much to watch again considering the amount of money you spend but i can prove that Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is worth watching over and over and over again!...


here are the probable reasons:

1. the Hungarian Horntail scene...that was so far the best scene in the movie for me...that is, the first task...i have never imagined that the horntail moment of harry would be that dangerous but as you watch it, it'll make you hold your breath for about more than 5 minutes, actually...the scene where harry flies above the castle, when he nearly fell, nearly burned his firebolt, damn!...

2. the arrival of beauxbatons academy and durmstrang institute...beauxbatons has been ecompassed with pretty french gurls with their headmistress madame maxime...their very feminine entrance to the great hall caught the attention of gurls and guys alike... now gurls even love imitating their swaying moves with all those butterflies...then comes the handsome durmstrang guys followed by viktor krum and their headmaster igor karkaroff...their macho entrance with that blazing staff and fire makes it even more enchanting...then the dramatic entrance of the bulgarian quidditch team seeker who also happens to be studying in he school made all the gurls scream and freeze in their seats...

3. lord voldemort rising..."bone of the father unwillingly given...flesh of the servant willingly sacrificed...and blood of the enemy forcibly taken...with this, the dark lord shall rise again..." these are the lines of wormtail when he did his ritual of making voldemort rise again...that scene is quite dramatic and the rising of the dark lord is so cool...the summon of the death eaters through the dark mark, it's so essential...plus, i like the scene when voldemort almost forgot about harry...lol!...that was quite funny...

4. cedric diggory's death...exactly as i imagined it on the book, cedric's death really pained the hearts of the viewers... the way i've cried in the book is nothing as the way i've cried in the movie...cedric digorry landing lifeless on the graveyard with his eyes open was so emotional...i could cry over and over again as i watch it...

5. the yule ball...who could forget it?...krum inviting hermione, cedric inviting cho and harry, being with parvati patil...the dancing part is so nice and who couldn't miss hagrid and maxime?...that sucks but was way funny!...then the heated row between ron and hermione clearly shows the adolescence stage of the characters...

finally, who couldn't miss the hottest guy in the movie?...STANISLAV IANEVSKI, the bulgarian actor who played viktor krum...every gurl who have seen the movie can't help saying that they admire the gym enthusiast bulgarian a lot...

whew!...i admit, i'm kinda frustrated with the movie because there are a lot of scenes that i expected to see which were not shown in the film...the second task is quite boring and the maze in the third task did not contain the creatures that i was dying to see such as the blast-ended skrewt and of course, the sphinx...only viktor krum was the catch but he looks so good we can't blame him...lol!...then there were fewer scenes with voldemort ...the imperius curse moment was not included...then the scene with mad-eye in his office after harry got back , there were also lesser explanations...all we found out there was that moody put harry's name in the goblet, he made sure that harry could pass through the 2 tasks until he could reach the third...he didn't even mention that he was the one who turned the triwizard cup into a portkey which transported harry and cedric to the graveyard at little hangleton...the veritaserum didn't do much work, and there was no dementor giving crouch the kiss...even dumbledore didn't explain further why as voldemort got drops of harry's bllod, he could already touch him and why he cannot before...

well, that was kinda frustrating but if you'll think of the possibilities of making it worth a watch and if you're just a naturally harry potter fanatic, definitely you will love this fourth sequel the way you loved the other prequels!...

HARRY POTTER & THE GOBLET OF FIRE
definitely owns!...
