I came home at 3am from the theatre, the movie was certainly awesome.

Overall View: The movie was really good, the best by now. The best thing was that finally Hogwarts is being pictured as a real school and the people as teenagers, there are not too much cheesy elements and I loved that now there's use of sarcasm, people making fun of others and arguments/fights! That gave the movie an amazing sense of reality.

Now . .. Part by part:

Beggining (Nagini part): Excellent, it looked real. Voldemort was freaky, and the old man was stupid . . . Nagini was certainly a good piece of CGI.

Quidditch World Cup: From the moment Harry wokes up, the movie begins rushing. I can't believe the translator came so fast, but it was really a cool effect! . .. . then the tent was cool, Ginny and the Twins were cooler in this movie, we got to know them better. The actual world cup sucked, the effects were cool, but what about Quidditch? . . . Then, getting to the death eaters they rocked!, I couldn't see the muggles, but the death eaters were just cool enough. After Harry fainting ('cause it's not a Potter movie without him fainting wink.gif ) Crouch Jr came and did the Dark Mark, and it was so cool how they did it, better than how I imagined it . . .I would actually be scared to see that. I thought it was cool when the ministry was sending stunners and Harry, Ron and Hermione managed to skip them.

Durmstrangs and Beauxbatons: They got there a little too fast, and that could make anyone confused. The boat's effects were cool, but the flying horses made some big turbulence for the poor girls but still cool. Filch was funny. Beauxbatons' entrance was good. Fleur was HOT. Durmstrangs' entrance was cool too. I didn't understand what Mad Eye Moody was doing with the ceiling, but his entrance was cool and dramatic.

Moody's Class: I felt so bad about Neville here, I think Matthew Lewis acted really good!, I could actually feel sadness for Neville. The spider was weird and the imperius was not what I expected, it looked more like Wingardium Leivosa here.

Goblet of Fire: It was cool, I actually got some hate against Cedric, Robert Pattinson wasn't the right guy for this, he acted like "Tee hee hee, I'm popular and I have difficulties to talk" . . . well, Fred and George were cool, and Hermione was cool too. The "It's not going to wo-ork" line made me feel like in a real school . . .that was good.

4 Champions: I loved the effects, Fleur was hot again. Krum was good, not that cheesy. Cedric continued with the "Tee Hee Hee . . ." and Michael Gambon overacted and made DD's character so weird . .. Madame Maxime looked like a transvestite and was like a head taller than Hagrid. Karkaroff needed a dentist . . urgently. I hated the "harry potter, Harry Potter!, HARRY POTTER!!!!" line by DD . . what's wrong with him? . . . .Mad Eye Moody was quite cool here. . . oh and I loved how they tried to make the audience think that Karkaroff put Harry's name tongue.gif . . . Crouch's accent was weird. Rupert Grint did a good job as Ron and the "p*$$ 0ff" line fitted the character perfectly. I felt bad for Harry, but I was happy that he was with Neville, and the "I'm not an owl" scene rocked . . .Ginny is hot rolleyes.gif . . . The dragons in the cages rocked, and I liked how Harry was almost throwing up when Madame Maxime and Hagrid were together. The ferret scene was cool, I felt really bad for Harry during the "Potter stinks" badges part . . . Moody's office was weird. I liked that they showed us some screaming inside the chest were the real Moody was . . Then it was quite noble for to tell Cedric . . and Cedric was still with his "Tee hee hee, I'm popular and I have difficulties to talk" but here we got to see the <difficultied to talk> part . .. why does he talk so slowly?

First Task: Rita Skeeter was awesome. I loved the "Harry Potter . .. 12" part and Harry answering "I'm 14" . . . She was cool . . . Emma did a great job this time, when Hermione hugged Harry everyone was like "Awwwww" and then the "Young Love! how . . . stirring" part made me laugh. Krum's accent was certainly FAKED, and he had just like . . 2 lines? . . . Crouch was funny, and Fleur's face when she got her dragon was priceless. I felt kind of bad for Harry (again) . . I think Dan did a great job too . .. the dragon was amazing, I loved how everyone stayed in the stadium, but they couldn't see what was happening with Harry and the dragon. At the party, Ron's "It was me who helped, Seamus never told anyone, Hagrid told me . . I tought you would know" and Harry answering "Who would know that?" part was so funny . . .

Yule Ball: The dancing lessons were funny. I liked that Ron was making fun about whoever was going to have something exploted that was not a swam . . that made the school look real . . .that's how real schools are. I liked that Neville was excited about dancing . . . Harry trying to ask Cho out was funny, as well as Ron's shock when he wanted to go with Fleur . . .Cho had a cute accent . . . Fred/George was so funny when he asked Angelina, and Hermione getting offended was cool too. Krum's fans were funny. I loved Ginny when Ron thought that his robe was Ginny's dress and she said "I'm not wearing that, it's ugly" . . . On the yule ball, I loved how Padma didn't want to go with Ron and she was like "Help me . . or kill me . .you choose but fast please" . . .Hermione looked HOT w00t.gif . . .Krum was cheesy here . . . I liked how Parvati had Harry as her trophy . . .and then she was telling Harry to put his hand on her waist . . and after the dance began, and the Patil sisters wanted to commit suicide, I loved how the Durmstrang guy went to invite Parvati "Can I have your hand?" - "My arm, my leg, I'm yours" . . .LOL .. that was funny. I didn't like the Weird Sisters . . . and I felt really bad for Hermione when she cried. When she said that Krum was a physical being, it was funny 'cause she seemed superficial . . . . Later, we see Cedric and his "Tee hee hee, I'm popular and I have difficulties to talk" and he did something kind of noble . . . The Prefect's bath thing scared me . . .Pervert Ghost! . . .Myrtle was IN the tub with Harry trying to see . . . more than what she had to, and she was like "come here harry . .. " EWWWW . . .Poor Harry . . .

Second Task: I liked that Neville helped him . .. no Dobby so . . .whatever. The gillyweed seemed gross . . . and Harry was like intoxicating himself . .. but the effect was quite cool . . I thought that "the hour long he had to look to recover what they took" went too fast . .. Ron, Hermione, Cho and Gabrielle looked cool . . . Krum scared me, I thought he was an actual shark . . . Cedric's and Fleur's bubble head charm looked pretty cool . .. and I liked that Fleur and even Ron talked in french.

Pensieve: The scene was pretty cool . . .I loved Rita's face when she heard about Crouch Jr . . . but there's no much to tell about this scene . . .thought that Michael Gambon still anoyed me . .

Third Task: I think Cedric's dad was too cheesy like "look, this is my son! . . .give him an applause!" . . .and Cedric was still with his "Tee hee hee, I'm popular and I have difficulties to talk" . . The maze was cool, really well done, I was sad there wasn't going to be a sphinx . . but the weird mist and the "man-eating bush" was cool enough tongue.gif . . . Krum possesed was weird . . I loved Fleur's scream, Clemence Poesy acted really well in this movie . . . Cedric vs. Harry to get to the cup made me laugh, but I hated that after Cedric wanted Harry to lose so badly, he wanted his help . . that gave Cedric some more of Robert Pattinson's new "Tee hee hee"-style . . .

Graveyard: I loved this scene . . Cedric was stupid . . . He died fast. . . Pettigrew cutting his hand was disturbing . . . unsure.gif . . .Voldemort looked cool, and when he came to life again was cooler, though he looked like Michael Jackson (no nose) . .. Voldemort was played cool . .. he had some cheecy lines, but cool . . .the Priori Incantatem was awesome, and I felt bad for Harry seeing his parents there . . .Cedric stoped TeeHeeHee-ing for a while . . but that may have being because he was dead tongue.gif . . . the way they got back was fast. Dan's on-screen crying was way better this time . . though it sounded fake, but he improved happy.gif . . . I liked that everyone was happy and they couldn't see there was a dead guy's body there . . . I loved that Fleur was the first to notice and that she cried dramatically . .. then Cho crying broke my heart . poor weird girl . . . then the cheesy father came again . .. this time I felt bad for him . . but he was still cheesy . .. The music in this part was awesome . .actually is my favorite song from the soundtrack . . . Then the Mad Eye Moody/Crouch Jr thing was weird . . .if happened too fast. The funeral made me sad . . .

Ending: When the visitors left it was cool how many people developted friendship there. . . and the real ending was cheesy . . .walking to the sunset IS cheesy . . geek.gif

Conclusion: As a conclusion I must say this has been the best Harry Potter movie we have seen . . .it had everything. Reality, Comedy and Magic . . I liked that this time the caharcter's friendship was more developted and that will make OoTP way more amusing.

Daniel Radcliffe (Harry):
He developted his acting skills a lot . . .he is really a good actor.
Rupert Grint (Ron): Developted his skills too, he acted really so well and was funny.
Emma Watson (Hermione): Amazing, out of the three, she and Dan are the best in acting . .. she was cool, dramatic and funny at the same time.
Matthew Lewis (Neville): He developted his character so much . . he was cool.
The Phelp Twins (Fred and George): They were really funny in this movie, and developted their characters' relationships with Harry, Ron, Hermione, etc . .
Bonnie Wright (Ginny): Had a better role in this movie than in PoA . . . is a cool actress and is going to be cool along with Luna on OoTP
Clemence Poesy (Fleur): Perfect. Had great acting skills and made the movie dramatic.
Stanislav Ianevski (Krum): Had 2 lines?
Robert Pattinson (Cedric): Wasn't the right guy to play cedric . . .was too "Tee hee hee, I'm popular and I have difficulties to talk" huh.gif
Michael Gambon (Dumbledore): Over-acting . . .and made the character weird . . not DD at all.

Hope you enjoyed my opinions

"Tee hee hee, I'm popular and I have difficulties to talk"


Im not so sure I understand what you mean by this? I thought Cedric was portrayed very true to the book. He is older than Harry yet he respects him and treats him as an equal despite this. He seems like a nice, genuine guy. The scenes where he talks to Harry are great in my opinion (eg. when he tells Harry to take a bath) and show him to be a good, trustworthy person - exactly as JKR intended, so his murder would be all the more shocking.

What I meant was that JK portrayed the character as someone noble, loyal and humble, who had many friends. Not as someone maybe loyal but not humble at all. He was too pompous (sp) to be the real Cedric Diggory from the book . . and from what I saw . .. the guy wasn't acting that much . . he was just laughing (tee hee hee) and talking slo-oo-wly . . . :S . . . His friends weren't supposed to like Harry, but not exactly hate him like saying "Come on Ced, he's not worth it" . . .and I don't think Robert Pattinson acted well, because I didn't really feel that "Cedric" was saying the truth about telling people to stop using the "Potter stinks" badges. . . The point is I didn't see the Loyal/Humble/Noble guy as in the book . . I just saw the TeeHeeHee/I'm Popular/ I've got difficulties to talk . . . wink.gif
*Sammi-Roo*
