Having read the entire "Harry Potter" series to this point, I was really excited to see the fourth installment in the "Harry Potter" series of movies. I have -in fact- just returned from the movie theater.
I must say that I was really, really impressed with this movie. It was visually stunning, the special effects were fantastic, and the story ran along smoothly. (I was a bit worried when reading the story, that it would -due to its length- translate poorly into a two-and-a-half-hour movie.)
This installment of the series was the first that I saw in an actual theater. I saw the first two on video, and the third at a drive-in. I was especially impressed by the backgrounds and sets in the movie. Wow! Were they all that good in the theater?
All-in-all, extremely enjoyable. I'd say that this installment was the best yet of the entire series.
My favorite scene(s) in "The Goblet of Fire" were those leading-to and during the school dance. The emotions of a teenage school dance were really well-done. The whole series of events added a different flavor to the movie.
