Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

J.K. Rowling's fourth book comes to life as young wizard Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) faces evil Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes). In his fourth year at Hogwarts, Harry competes in the treacherous Tri-Wizard Tournament. Friends Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) and teacher Mad Eye Moody (Brendan Gleeson) help Harry manage the pressure … but Voldemort lurks, awaiting his chance to destroy Harry and all that he stands for.

My Two Cents: More mature than the previous three installments, and thus darker, but not as much fun.

RETRO BLOGGING

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)

Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) return to Hogwarts for a third adventure-and-magic-filled year in this follow-up to the first two blockbusters. The trio may be growing up, but some things never change: Harry finds his life in danger yet again, this time in the form of escaped convict Sirius Black (Gary Oldman). He turns to sympathetic Professor Lupin (David Thewlis) for help -- but will it be enough?

My Two Cents: The best of the Harry Potter movies thus far.

(note: nothing has changed with that review after seeing Goblet of Fire)
