It is nearly impossible for a fourth Harry Potter film not to develop huge expectations from it numerous legions of fans. With dozen of web-sites dedicated the movie has been analyzed and dissected even before it been released.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (GoF in Harry speak) is my least favorite book out of the six that have been released so far; this fact diminishes my expectations of this movie. It should be noted that Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (PoA) was my favorite book in the cycle so far and my least favorite movie. So my dislike of the book doesn’t necessarily mean I will hate the movie.
I watch the first three movies on dvd on a regular basis, I saw Sorcerer’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets multiple times in the theater but never truly saw PoA in the theater [My wife went into labor on Friday June 11th while I was the Movie. So I only saw the first half and really had no want to see the rest in the theater]
My first worry if GoF is the longest book being turned into a movie thus far; originally Warner Brothers wanted to create two movies releasing a month (or six) apart, however Alfonso Cuarón, director of PoA, convinced Mike Newell, Director, against it.
Most of the original cast members from the first three movies is back (Micheal Gambon has replaced Richard Harris) so I don’t expect anyone to have to learn their roles as to speak.
Unlike PoA where J.K. Rowling made a number of appearances going on how wonderful the Movie is, she was much more reserved this time, I think is a good sign. If she is less worried that people will like the movie; than it must be better than PoA.
A number of people of who have seen the movie ahead of time remarked how much more dark the movie and and more “adult� oriented than the previous three movies.
I have tended to ignore the fans and reviews in advance and while I don’t expect GoF to win many Oscars I hope to be entertained enough to want to go see it again in the theater.
I know that is the best.
