Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) Review

The fourth movie in the Harry Potter franchise continues to raise the bar.

It's not so much that the story gets any better - that stays pretty constant. The acting does as well. But the effects are what really see an improvement. Where we first saw just glimpses of brooms that resembled stick people from a distance, now flying scenes actually look like someone flying - or at least a close approximation.

Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) returns to Hogwarts for another year of magical instruction, only this year it seems there is a new twist - the Tri-Wizard tournament, where champions of each of the major schools of magic compete for the Tri-Wizard cup and eternal glory (and face possible death in the process). Champions must be 17 to compete, but of course you know that Harry will be involved somehow.

About Celluloid Heroes

Welcome to Celluloid Heroes! Here you will find movie reviews of all shapes and sizes. No stone is left unturned, and that is meant quite literally. In fact, you are probably quite unlikely to find the best of the best, as that's something that you can find elsewhere. Here you're more likely to find the dregs of the movie world than anything else.

As to the name? It's actually from a song by The Kinks, and while it may or may not have something directly to do with movies, it does mention quite a few movie stars and things that make you think about movies, and well, it just seemed appropriate. Hopefully you'll agree, and if not, I suspect it won't get in the way too much.

Thanks for visiting, enjoy your stay, and come back often..
