Harry Potter and Goblet of Fire

[Martha Shannon]

Okay, I know it's been a craze for many years now.
Believe it or not, I just recently (a week ago) saw the first three movies!
I enjoyed the first two, the third one didn't carry as much punch and I couldn't believe what a sniveling baby Malfor (I have no idea about the spelling - I'm not a fan) ended up being in the third one!
Now, on the eve of the DVD release of the fourth in the series, I've already made plans to view it this Friday.
No spoilers please!

I bought my copy at Costco yesterday and am planning to watch it this weekend also, although I've already seen it once in the theater.

Have you read any of the books? They're pretty good. I read the last one (Book 6) in less than three days -- I just couldn't put it down once I got started.

Oh, was that a spoiler? nah!

They did a really good job with this movie. The special effects are the best yet in the series -- I love the dragons. Best of all, they minimized that Draco Malfoi character -- the actor they cast to play him chews up the set in whatever scene he's in.

I worry that the actors playing Harry, Ron & Hermione will grow up too much before they can finish filming all the movies in the series. She hasn't even finished writing the 7th (and final) book yet. I think it is due to be released in Summer 2007, so they probably couldn't begin filming it until Fall 2007 or Spring 2008, another two years from now. Then again, they did have all those 30-something actors playing high school kids on Beverly Hills 90210 all those years.
