Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire / USA/ UK / 2005

Not a patch on Alfonso Cuaron’s masterful third chapter (for my money the best film about childhood in years, and truly beautiful to look at), but still leagues ahead of the yawn inducing first two. Based on by far the best of JK Rowling’s books (which admittedly isn’t saying much), The Goblet Of Fire has so much ground to cover that at one point the producers were discussing a Kill Bill-style two parter. Thank God they didn’t, because the constraints of childrens’ bladders has forced the producers to drop any unnecessary filler, and focus on the story and the characters. The three leads are growing into their roles now, ably supported by the cream of British acting talent, and the design and effects work is second to none.
