Review: 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire' is a thrilling contest for Harry


Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire   PG 13            
            Mike Newell rides the broom in this fourth installment based on the books. This action packed installment in the Harry Potter series pits Harry in a contest of wizards. During the fourth year at Hogwarts, the school hosts a champions duel between other schools of wizardry and someone has placed Harry Potter’s name in the goblet to compete. Harry and his friends are forced to confront teen issues as well as contest challenges, and the pending trouble from Voldemort’s evil ghost. The visuals and story are rushed but enticing and the action is awesome. At times they rush things, and fans of the books were sad to see large chunks of the long fourth book left out completely. Again they could not have covered all those elements. This time had they the movie would have been 5 hours long.
