By now, I am used to walking into the cinema by myself, striding up to the ticket taker person, past all the queues for food and waltzing straight up the stairs to my seat (which is always free). Last night, there were 4 other people who were sitting by themselves, although, I don't think they were taking notes like I was (Oh this blog is clearly well planned out.... clearly).
There is only one trailer at the beginning of these movies... and guess what, it's for the latest Harry Potter coming out on Friday. As a noob, a simple muggle, it's frustrating for me to see where they are now, without seeing the story in between.
Goblet of fire, so far, is my favourite movie in this series. It delves straight into the story and it's a good story at that. Hogwarts is to host the Tri-Wizard championships. 3 schools from across the world (the world being England, France and Russia) all gather in Hogwarts to compete in trials testing the champions in all aspects of wizardry. One representative from each school gets selected from the Goblet of fire and they must be over 17.
Of course, Harry Potter is accidently chosen as a second champion for Hogwarts (he's meant to be 15). This already famous kid is now hated by his school for cheating to join a competition that could kill him. Oh yeh, I'm sure he did it on purpose (sarcasm).
Needless to say that Harry survives the first test of retrieving a gold egg from a dragon. Then he had to figure out how to open it to get a clue for the next challenge. This created the funniest line ever. Cedric Diggory, the other Hogwarts champion tells him that "You know the Prefects' bathroom on the fifth floor? It's not a bad place for a bath.".
Cedric Diggory is played by Robert Pattinson made famous from those Twilight films. *SPOILERS ALERT* I'm sure I'm not the first person to joke that when Cedric dies at the end of this film (haha), he is then reborn as a vampire for his next one.
The ball before the final challenge was a good scene. You could see the excitement in all the girls "Oh goodie, we get to go to the ball" and all the boys "Does this mean we have to dress up?". The trio seem to be discovering more than just magic as 'sparks fly' and the dialogue hints at a potential romance between Hermione and Ron.... awwww.
The overall hassle with Voldemort gets good when he is 'reborn', somehow. It's not really explained but this baby looking Voldemort goes into a pot of liquid, along with some of Harry's blood and he grows out of the water. So the 'Dark Lord' has now returned, his forces are growing and Harry is determined to kill him, aka Tom Riddle. Oh, surprise surprise, one of his followers is the father of the evil kid in school, who hates muggles. I saw that first off!
Not much to nit-pick with this one, it was clever, well written, funny and held my attention.
As Professor McGonagall would say, be good and don't behave "like a babbling, bumbling band of baboons!"
