Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire : 4 of 5

I've really enjoyed all of the Harry Potter movies, and I love being surprised by everything since I haven't read the books. My pal Melinda was nice enough to see this one a second time since I wanted to go, and I definitely enjoyed it - quite a bit more than the last one, actually. In Prisoner of Azkaban, I thought the kids looked older than they should, but somehow in this movie they seem just right (they have cool long, messy hair that would be fun to wear for a while). The effects are really well done, especially when Harry is chased by the dragon - in particular, when the dragon is crawling on the roof and digging its claws into the shingles, it looks amazing! I thought the big dance was fun, especially seeing Hermione swoon for the guy from one of the visiting schools - it's nice to see more character interaction and a little less complicated mystery. But speaking of mystery, this one has a great plot with puzzles that are fun to try to figure out, and the fact that the Tri-Wizard Tournament is kind of episodic gives the film a nice pace. Unfortunately, the film ends totally bleak with the return of Voldemort, and there's absolutely nothing the movie can do to make you feel better before you walk out of the theater. It definitely makes you ready for the next film, though! This is certainly one of the best Harry Potter movies out of the four, so I'll certainly be looking forward to more of the saga.
