COMPLETE REVIEW BELOW
Candi Summers is a freelance writer for Mungleshow
Productions.
The fourth installment in the Harry Potter series is
back with more of the same, and that's not a bad
thing. Harry Potter is in his fourth year of school,
and as usual there is a crisis that he and his two best
friends must handle. This time around, the story
centers on the Tri-Wizard's competition between
Hogwarts and two other Wizard schools.
It is a dangerous competition and anyone under 17
has been barred from competing, but of course, 14-
year-old Harry is mysteriously selected by the Goblet
of Fire to join in. Three potentially deadly tasks must
be performed by the 4 Wizard contestants, but Harry
has the weight of foreboding dreams about
Voldemort, arguments with Ron and Hermione, and a
crush on a fellow student to add to the weight on his
shoulders.
Mad-eye Moody, a new professor at the school, gives
him help, but Harry is still sure that danger is around
him and wonders whom his friend and enemies really
are. Death Eaters are about, and Harry is sure
Voldemort is up to something. Harry, Ron and
Hermione have their friendship tested when they face
young love and their first dance.
The special effects were very nicely done, and the
computer generated images were much more lifelike
than in some of the previous HP movies, although
much of this film reminded me of The Lord of The
Rings movies. The acting by it's young stars was
spot on almost completely across the board,
especially from Daniel Radcliffe, who has to portray
someone who is strong and yet unsure of himself at
the same time without using a lot of words. If you've
never seen a Harry Potter movie, it might be worth it
to rent the first one or two so you have some
background info and go check this one out.
This Harry Potter movie is the first to receive a PG-
13, which I thought was an appropriate rating
because it is a bit darker than previous movies, but it
also contains many lighthearted moments and lots of
laughs. Parents, use your discretion. I wouldn't take
anyone younger than 12 to this film. Long story
short, if you liked the previous HP movies, you are in
for a treat. I give Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
four out of five stars.
