tarotgalJust a quick review of the movie Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. In short, I loved it.
-I liked it a lot more than the POA movie- it managed to be artistic and stunning and STILL follow book canon for the most part
-It was still way too short for my liking- with HUGE chunks taken out and events abridged to fit the running time. But I can understand the edits (unlike POA's cuts)
-I would have liked to have seen Padfoot Returning, but I understand how it could be cut. *pets Pads* Would have liked some Bill and Charlie, too, but, again, I understand they couldn't be there.
-I absolutely HATED Dumbledore throughout most of the movie. WTF is up with him being all angry and shaking Harry???
-I thought the trio dynamics were just perfect (they're still hamming it up a little too much for me at times, but I'm used to it by now)
-Bouncing ferret scene- freakin' awesome!!!
-Cedric was a dream. Viktor was to die for (I want to live on the Durmstrang ship pleeeeeeease!)
-There were a TON of parts that I had to bite my thumb during to keep from giggling or squeeing. Which means I REALLY enjoyed them. There were little surprises I loved and tons of slash-worthy moments and Cedric in general was everything I was hoping he would be.
-At the beginning of the Hedge Maze sequence, I started crying. Halfway through, I was sobbing. And by the end of the movie I'd been through 4 tissues and had to keep my hand over my mouth to keep my sobs quiet.
-I didn't have trouble with Voldy. I was worried I might find him sexy, considering the actor portraying him. But I definitely needn't have worried
-It was beautiful and stunning and very well done, I thought. That was JUST the movie I wanted to see. Well, maybe add about 30 minutes to it and it would have been PERFECT.
On a whole, I loved it. *sigh* Fantastic movie. I didn't expect to like it so much, but I do. Good for them! I spent the whole 40 minute drive home crying about Ced. Gods that was hard. I knew I'd cry but I REALLY didn't expect to get so attached to him! He was SO perfectly done, so in character. He makes me so proud to be a Hufflepuff!

PPS- I Bookcrossed and left a copy of HP1 at the theater ;-) heehee! And I mailed a bunch of packages on the way home.
