I absolutely LOVE the Harry Potter books. I think they are extremely well written and present an excellent story as well as outstanding character development. I have also been impressed with the film translation of the books and this film is no exception. From the very beginning of this film you are shot through at an excellent pace that kept me from checking my watch until the credits rolled, amazed that two and a half hours had passed. Mad Eye Moody is incredible in this film and adds so much. I have a few issues with this movie however. At the beginning of the movie, we are introduced to Viktor Klum and the return of the Deatheaters at the Quidditch World Cup. If the director felt that he wanted to include the Quidditch World Cup as part of this movie that's fine, however I felt that the 15 minutes used for that could have been much better spent improving the character development of Cedric Diggory, Viktor Krum and especially Fleur Delacour. Fleur becomes a fairly important character later in the series and it would have been beneficial to let us know her a little more. **SPOILER** The fact that Cedric's character was not fleshed out at all made me feel little to no sorrow when he was killed. He was no more an important character to me than the twins Ron and Harry took to the ball. The same can be said for the 2nd challenge where Fleur's sister is tied underwater. I didn't even realize who she was until later. **END SPOILER** That being said, the graveyard scene is absolute perfection. Lucius Malfoy is an excellent villian that is one of the best in the series. I would have also liked to see more flashbacks in the Pensieve as there is more in the book.

It's good that the director of the latest "Harry Potter" film lets Harry and his pals (and the actors who play them) grow up a little. We even get to see Harry barechested, showing a little hair under his arms; it's all in keeping with Harry, Ron and Hermione moving into adolescent dating, crushes, romance. But the plot of Voldemoort's return is tedious and, when the boogeyman finally does arrive, a bit "who cares?" (the arch-enemies pointing wands at each other is pretty static). Still, if you enjoyed the other Harry Potter movies, you'll like this one, too, as I did.

no. 4
The best of the series so far, in my opinion. This fantasy adventure offers nonstop excitement and suspense. It's also the most similar to the book it's based on. very fun to watch.
