My favorite one because we get a fucking brilliant introduction to Voldemort killing Edward.

emmainkeri

I have so much to say about this one... 😩

HookedOnSwans

Just to clear up some confusion about their ages, students begin Hogwarts at age 11. So in the first movie Harry, Ron and Hermione are 11, they're 12 in the second, so in this one they are 14. Ginny is one year younger than they are so she is 13. The twins are are two years older so they are 16 in this one.

And yes, Percy did graduate, but there's also two other older brothers. Charlie was mentioned in this one but not seen. He lives in Romania, works with dragons, and has been mentioned before but its very easy to overlook in the movies.

Calvin Allen

Lucius tried to use the killing curse on Harry at the end of the second movie. I don't know how he thought he was going to get away with that.

Amanda Logsdon

Ironically this has always been my least favorite, mostly because sooo much is not explained which is why I actually started reading Harry Potter after this movie to answer some of the questions I had. But it's still a good movie, all the movies are.

Light Yagami

Oh don’t worry, as good this movie is it still gets better from here imo. Personally 6 and 7 are my favorite movies in the series, probably tied with 3

emmainkeri

I'm an hour in and I've got a lot of notes.. - So the movie starts the same way as the book, at the Riddle house. But one of the biggest if not the biggest mistake they made, was that they showed Crouch Jr (Tennant) there and in later scenes. He was NOT there. They totally ruined the very detailed plot twist at the end of the book. - Harry spent most of the summer with the Dursleys before the Weasleys came to get him (via floo powder, it was hilarious in the book and you should read it). They skipped all of that for time, I can understand that. - Cedric was introduced in the 3rd book, he's the Hufflepuff Seeker (he kinda was in the movie, when they played in the storm and Harry fell off his broom). - Mike Newell is the director of this one and this one only. He had some absolutely crazy ideas, but luckily other people shut them down pretty quickly (he wanted the dragon to burn down the entire Forbidden Forest, for reasons... and he is of course responsible for the dragon stuff that did happen. More on that later). - Travelling by portkey looks a bit weird in the film, but whatever I guess. - The tent was well done, I like it. I love magic too, Harry. - They were sitting with the Malfoys and the Minister in the books, dunno why they changed that but doesn't really matter since they forgot about all the stuff that during/after the match anyway. - A lot happened in the book during the World Cup, they skipped all of that and all of the match as well. Again, for time and I understand that. But it felt super rushed. - The introduction of Viktor Krum is so cringy to me. They made him the opposite of what he is in the books. He loves to play Quidditch and he is an amazing player and people praise him for that, but he is not a fan of fame. He always looked moody and he was duck-footed. "...thin, dark, and sallow-skinned, with a large curved nose and thick black eyebrows. He looked like an overgrown bird of prey. It was hard to believe he was only eighteen." He also didn't talk much and it took him long to find the courage to ask Hermione to the ball. - Yeah the KKK hoods.. Don't know whose idea that was. - Harry getting knocked out after the match is so random and again, they showed Crouch Jr. for some idiotic reason. - They skipped a lot of time between the 1st day of term and the other schools arriving (really it was only a selected amount of 17+yo students of each school), which is fine, but they should've taken a bit of a breather and explained the tournament better. - The girl from the train was Cho Chang, he's a year older than Harry and plays seeker for Ravenclaw. She was also introduced in the 3rd book and Harry found her attractive at that point already. - Ahh yes, this travesty. Making Beauxbatons an all girls school and Durmstrang an all boys school doesn't make sense in the slightest, not to mention how disgustingly sexist their entrances were. And I guess this was Mike Newell again, but really, you wanted to focus the camera on these 17yo girls' butts bouncing? - So there are schools all around the world, but not in every country. The exact locations are often unknown. Beauxbatons is in France, Durmstrang somewhere in Northern Europe where there are mountains (according to Krum). Krum plays for Bulgaria but his nationality isn't known. - Moody's character is fine, but a bit too shouty and intense like you said. Also his magical eye doesn't look very magical, does it. - They did the polyjuice potion right in this movie, but it's inconsistent throughout the rest of the series. Just to be clear, the potion does change your voice. Duh. - More about Neville's backstory and the cruciatus curse in the books! They didn't do any explaining in the movies apart from one short scene in one movie. - The winner of the Triwizard Tournament gets "eternal glory" and a thousand galleons (= $25 000). For reference, a new wand from Ollivanders costs seven galleons or $175. Butter Beer costs about $3/pint. The previous year Arthur Weasley won 700 galleons or $17 500 in an annual raffle. They used the money on a summer trip to visit Bill the edlest son in Egypt). - Cedric getting chosen to compete was a huge deal for the school and the Hufflepuff especially. They're always looked down upon and haven't received a lot of glory in a very long time. Cedric deserved this 100%. He didn't deserve what happened later though, not in the slightest. - Dumbledore was NOT supposed to be angry, he's not supposed to be shouty or anything like that. This is the most infamous scene from the movies and the memes that came out of this are iconic. "..Dumbledore asked calmly." I'm not even gonna get into all that, but this is not the Dumbledore we know and love from the books. - Harry is also very bland and kind of "just there" in the movies. It's a shame you can't see/hear his inner monologue, obviously. But he should've had some kind of visible reaction to all this, in the book he was going through a lot. - Cedric wasn't mad at Harry at any point, he's not like that. But he didn't initially believe Harry either, but he accepted that he was competing. He also told his friends not to wear the Potter Stinks badges, he was fair. - Yeah the gloomy tone is a change. A bit too big of a change in my opinion, they sucked all the light and happiness out of these movies and I don't like it. The books are getting serious at this point, but there are still many happy moments and this magical feeling everywhere. - Hermione agreeing to deliver a message and shouting at Harry is so out of character. In the book she was spending time with both and trying to get them to apologise, and she totally empathized with both as well. He took Harry out of the castle where everyone was talking about him, and they went for a walk and had breakfast outside and talked about what happened. She always believed him and she explained to Harry what Ron was going through as well. - No one's supposed to be helping the champions, but the heads of houses are trying to help Krum and Fleur for sure. Maxime saw the dragons and told Fleur. In the book Karkaroff was lurking around there as well and told Krum. Hagrid never cared much for the rules anyway, plus he's concerned about Harry. And well, "Moody" has his motive. - Fleur's not a fairy princess, no, but she is part veela. Her character was also mostly ruined and they didn't use her for anything. She's really interesting in the books. In the movies she's really bland and just.. vanilla. Same happened to Ginny, who's btw amazing in the books. Krum's head is not filled with saw dust, he's smart and capable and doesn't like being in the spotlight. He's quite awkward in reality. - Hermione (and Ron after the 1st task) helped Harry a LOT. They practised the Accio charm for a long time and later tried to find a way to breathe under water etc.

The students taken to the bottom of the Black Lake weren't in any real danger, they would of been saved.

hi i wanted to Answer some of your questions about the movie. The red light from the wand is the warning beacon or a rescue flare but the others don't see it because the wind takes over the maze as well as the fog. On the Ron and Hermonie subject i think a lot of it was not interesting and doesn't add to the story i ignore it. Oh but there was a scene in Prisoner of Azkaband where they kinda hinted at it but not really the scene could have been seen as just friends. Neville was uncomfortable during Madeyes lesson because his parents were killed by the Crucio curse. ,During the time in the Court Igor( also his information was why he was let out of Azkaband and was able to pick up a job at the school ) tells the court Barrty Crouch Jr was the one who gave them the torture of the crucio curse . The yelling Dumbledore scene wasn't in the book instead he comes in asking nicely. Death is definitely an option in the game its why you have to be a senior to apply to The Triwizard Tournament. Its why Mcgonagle was unsure about harry being a part of it. Actually the tournament had been stopped do to a huge death toll and came back that year harry potter was there but was then shut down again do to Cedrics death . Also Snape thought harry had stolen it do to his ingredints being stolen in the second movie to create the polyjuice potion, and the gillyweed being taken then seeing harry eat it on the dock. I think Ive posted before but the Slytherinn House isnt all bad guys most of them are just regular guys but you'll see that more later on. But Prejudice is a big theme in this series and a lot of wizards speak about Sytherin house as evil or blood prejudice when hufflepuff, ravencalw or gryffindor are or can be just as bad certain times . Also love this movie its my favorite mainly for story and the introduction to the other schools. Great reaction cant wait for the next !

Scarlet

I love this movie and I’m glad you had such a positive reaction to it too! This film is a little divisive in the fandom but personally it’s my favourite for the following reasons: A. shot composition: lots of colour, visibility is good, interesting lighting and angle choices - I find some of the later movies to be more monochromatic B. contrasting themes: fun banter between the teenage characters contrasted with the darkness of the threat of voldemort and danger of the tournament C. imagery: used for social commentary and reflected in some of the script choices that drive character development D. touches on key plot points: the plot line about the girls being possibly part Veela, Rita Skeeter, Neville’s parents, Thomas Riddle, Kakaroff, the unforgivable curses But it also... E. filters out complex plot points: they work in the book but are difficult and complex to translate into a film format like a lot of the skipped/slightly altered content at the World Cup Thank you for reacting to this! It’s nice not to feel so alone. :)

AussieDesoDogg

Can't wait for the next one! The fifth movie is the best imo.

AussieDesoDogg

For me 3 as well as 5, was better than 4. But I still liked this. I will say the movies are consistently good, and close. So I can understand how everyone can have different #1 favourites. I guess you missed it, but the movie explains that the red sparks means you want to withdraw from the task. So Harry put out the sparks so she can be rescued. And no, not all Slytherin are "bad".

DaphneQueen
>>35908188

Thanks for the explanation! I was going to say the same things. One correction though: Neville’s parents weren’t tortured to death, but the movies haven’t explained what did happen to them yet, so I won’t say

DaphneQueen

Love your reaction!! I’m glad you enjoyed it. It’s my favorite of the films. I think it hit me a lot since I first saw these while I was in college and, as much as I like the first three, I was really glad for the darker tone in this one. There are quite a few things left out from the books, but that’s expected since the book is so long and they didn’t split the movie into two parts. For the most part though you still know what’s happening (at least with the main plot). The only thing I wish they had added was Ron’s brother, Charlie since he came to tend to the dragons and then stayed to watch the tournament which does become a kind of important plot piece for future movies. I’m very excited to see your reaction to those as well!

Amberlynn

I'm still watching, but I just want to point out that there's actually 7 Weasley kids. The "older brother" you keep referring to (Percy) is actually the 3rd oldest. There's also Bill and Charlie. Bill is a curse-breaker and the oldest. Charlie gets mentioned in the first movie (I believe) when Hagrid has his egg and Ron points out that it's a dragon egg, and again in this movie. He's a dragonologist and also the second oldest. Then comes Percy, the twins, Ron, and Ginny. You got a glimpse of the oldest two in that picture of the Weasley family in Egypt in the last movie and you'll see them (or at least Bill) again later in the movies. Charlie really drew the short stick in this series lol

emmainkeri

- Okay so. The 1st task is absolutely bonkers. In the book, they have Charlie and other dragon experts making sure that nothing goes wrong. It was stated in the rules that you're not supposed to physically harm the dragons, or the eggs (they were all hatching females, the golden eggs were with the real eggs). If you ended up harming them, you would lose points. In the book Harry had to fly around the dragon and try to annoy it to make it fly away from the eggs, so Harry could get his egg. There was no chase around the fucking castle. The horntail did not get harmed (Harry got a nasty cut though) and Harry received excellent points. But in the movie, I guess the dragon just died? lmao - Forgot this earlier, but I think I mentioned this after maybe the first movie. Filch was purely comic relief from this point forward. For some shit reason. - Ron's apology was shit, in the book he was actually sincere. - who the fuck. Is Nigel? And why is he a mini servant for Ron? Wtf? They forgot about Colin Creevey (and his brother Dennis) and brought in this random boy instead for laughs I guess. - Yeah I would've liked to see what the other champions did with the dragons, they are shortly described in the books though. Cedric transfigured a rock to work as a decoy but it only worked for a moment, Krum shot some spell at the dragon's eye but she got hurt and squashed several eggs, and Fleur put the dragon into a trance but it snored and shot a flame and her skirt caught fire. Harry and Krum received the best points. - The dancing class is only in the movie. Whatever. - Ron's comments about the other students (mostly girls) are disgusting both in the movie and the book. - They only briefly mention Hagrid's parentage in the movie, in the book it's a bigger thing. Hagrid blurts out that his mother was a giantess, but madam Maxime denies being half giant, and Rita Skeeter overhears the whole conversation (her being able to listen in to conversations without being noticed is a whole side plot in the book) and writes a scandalous article. Hagrid gets depressed and stops teaching for a while. - Again they mention Fleur and how Ron just weirdly asked her to the ball, but they don't explain why it was weird. It's her veela powers. Veelas are kind of like sirens or harpies. - Parvati and Padma Patil are twins, but only Parvati is in Gryffindor. Padma is in Ravenclaw in the books. Harry first asked Lavender to go with Ron, but she had already agreed to go with Seamus. So Parvati said she could ask her sister for Ron. - Who is great aunt Tessie? - "Hermione is way too cute for nobody to ask her", yeah but only in the movies, because Emma Watson is of course beautiful. In the books, she is nerdy, has wild bushy hair, big front teeth (that she actually kind of fixed in this book) and her posture is bad because of all the books she's constantly carrying. She's also not as confident or loud as Hermione in the movies. She is confident, but not the same way, she's more human and three dimensional. - Ron asked Fleur but she definitely didn't say yes. And he ran off. - Hermione's transformation is nothing compared to what it is in the books. Like I said, she's not gorgeous like Emma Watson. She had done her hair in a different way, straightened it, she was standing straight and wearing periwinkle blue dress robes. Harry didn't even recognize her at first. Dunno what's with the ultra girly pink dress in the movie. - Fun fact, Emma tripped walking down the stairs when they were shooting. Lol. - Krum was not talkative in general, but he started talking a lot when she was with Hermione! Later in the movie Hermione describes him as more of a physical type, which he's really not apart from his flying skills. So they really did Krum dirty. He's not a "pretty face" like you said, not in the books. He's not even very good looking. - Another fun fact, Daniel Radcliffe didn't have as much dancing lessons as the other actors and extras, he was busy shooting other scenes (might've been 2nd task underwater scenes), so he really didn't know what he was doing. But it's totally accurate, even in the book Harry let Parvati lead. - Fleur went with Roger Davies, who is the Quidditch team captain for Ravenclaw. He asked Cho out in the next book but she said no. - Ginny in the book was sad that he had already agreed to go with Neville (because 1-3 years were only allowed to go if they went with someone older) when Harry and Ron couldn't find anyone, and Ron suggested that he goes with Hermione and Harry with Ginny. Of course she would've liked to go with him but said yes to Neville. But they were never more than friends. - The band Weird Sisters in the movie consists of real life musicians, most notably one Radiohead member. It's a really famous band in the wizarding world. - In the book some BOYS from Beauxbatons asked Parvati and Padma to dance (I'm not over this all boys/girls thing). - Percy is actually in this book too, there's a whole plot with him and Barty Crouch Sr. Crouch took ill (or so it seemed) and as his personal assistant, Percy represented him for a big chunk of the tournament. - I can appreciate that they spent some time building Harry and Hermione's friendship in this one. - Cedric is amazing. In the books especially. He's such a good person. - Glad they didn't leave Myrtle out of the movie, but she's a bit too aggressive in this scene and also purely there just for comic relief. She's supposed to be sulky and sensitive, like she was in the 2nd movie. Aand with the dumbing down of the plot again. They mentioned the polyjuice potion. If you've noticed Moody always drinking from his flask, it's not hard to put two and two together. There goes the plot twist again. - And I bet Mike Newell was again behind this creepy scene with Myrtle, he was waaayyy too excited about the romance side of the story and made it too big. The actual mystery of the book didn't get nearly as much screentime. - Dobby is totally omitted from this movie. He's in most of the books. But it was him, not Neville, who gave Harry the gillyweed. Although it was Moody's idea and plan in the books, and he did try to make Harry figure it out sooner by giving Neville the herbology book that mentioned the weed at the start of term. Harry just never realized to ask Neville, or that the book he needed had been in his dormitory the whole time. But if they had to leave Dobby out, Neville was the absolute right choice to fill in for him. - Fred and George got several scenes in the movie, but I feel like they felt a bit off. Like you said during the 1st task, not sure if they would've cared if Harry had gotten injured. - The Gillyweed is sooo cool. I'd love to try it tbh. - I love that you said the book must've told us what the others did, you're so right! Fleur and Cedric used the bubblehead charm, but Krum transfigured himself but failed. He ended up only with a shark head. - The merepeople's design is different from the book but I don't mind it, they look cool and their wails sound creepy too. What I don't understand is why they made them all-female. Mike Newell again? I don't know. - They're grindylows, they're not like jellyfish. But they are nasty and have super long and sharp fingers. - Mister Crouch's story, background and death are all omitted or changed. A shame really, it was a really important part of the plot in the book. Hope you'll read it to find out, I'm not gonna spoil it. - This scene with Harry, Crouch and Moody after the task is really weird. Since when have the Ministry had summer internships? They took someone to intern at the Department of Mysteries? That would absolutely NEVER happen. Who is he even supposed to be talking about? You noticed that too, sorry to say that there is nothing there to theorize. - And again, dumbing down the plot with adding this weird tongue-thing that only "Moody" and Crouch Jr. do. More clues for the audience to put together before the end of the movie. - A nice scene with Hagrid and the gang, but the Crouch thing is weird like I said. And only in the movies the way they did it. - Glad you were interested to hear more about Snape. - So they put two different trials together for the movie. There was this one, and then another with four death eaters: Rodolphus Lestrange, his brother Rabastan, his wife Bellatrix Lestrange and Barty Crouch Junior who was really young at that point. Crouch was crying and pleading with his dad the whole time, claiming to be innocent. This lot was on trial for torturing Frank and Alice Longbottom (more in the books). Crouch Senior didn't even give him a chance but was more interested to show the public that he hated the dark arts, and sentenced them all to life in Azkaban. And in the movie, Crouch Jr. was just there for some reason as a viewer and CLEARLY guilty. Again ruining the plot twist.

Ari is my Cat

I feel the next two movies are closer to the level of the third film as opposed to this one. My favorite is 3 but my friend does not like 3 and lists this one as his favorite.

emmainkeri

- Neville wouldn't have stolen from Snape, who btw still is his biggest fear, so it doesn't really make sense. It was really Dobby who did all that. - Fleur didn't do as well as she could've in the books and had a ton of bad luck, but in the movie she did worse. She was panicking and it feels weird that she got picked out of everyone in her school. What's worse in the movie is that they made it an all girls school, unlike in the book where Fleur got picked over other girls and boys from Beauxbatons. Now it just feels like she's the damsel in distress and she only got picked because there were no boys in that school. - The maze is very interesting in the book. It's full of spells and creatures to get past. But I don't mind the change too much. What I do mind, is the few-second scene with Harry and Cedric. It was his last moments before dying, and in the book he would not take the cup even though Harry insisted. They had just saved each others in the maze and both tried to get the other one to touch the cup. They both played fair. It was a nice moment, but in the movie it was like 6 seconds and they were trying to race each other until the end. - I agree with you, I wish we'd gotten to Cedric better in the movie. I wouldn't have minded getting more of him in the books either. - Oh my god! He's a baby! lmaoo

Primus

This is definite a better movie from the third, who (based on storytelling) is the worst movie of the series. It definitely gets better from there starting with this one. You should really consider reading the books, there are so much eloquent compared with the movies. My vote is 9 as well.

theshadowfax
>>35915083

I think that's crazy that you think the third movie is the worst of the bunch. I guess it just shows you would prefer somebody reading the book and a word to word adaptation instead of adapting the book for a completely different medium. Soulless, page by page adaptations do not a good movie make. Creativity is where true art comes from.

Stephanie Bedworth

I just looked it up and apparently there is a school in the US. The Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It's in Massachusetts and it takes students from all over North America so I guess kids from the US and Canada would go there.

AllieDoh

Who told you the third one was the best movie? For me, I think the movies get stronger with each one. I mean, I know people who each have a favorite movie because that's the one they rewatch the most, but based on strength, the movies definitely get stronger as they go on imo. Like, my fave is personally The Order of The Phoenix (movie) and The Goblet of Fire (book) but I can admit there are better movies in the series and better books too... Those are just my personal faves.

Amberlynn

Just finished! This movie is definitely my favorite simply because of the tournament, the dragons and the lore building. A lot of people believe that the next movie is the best and the next movie really is a good one. I also love that this movie is (to me) the turning point of the series. Things get darker and more dangerous (literally compare the title scene of each movie and each gets visually darker as does the music). As for Hermoine and Ron, rumor has it that the directors/people behind the movie wanted Harry and Hermoine together so we're kind of dealing with that "lense." The books build it better (as well as other relationships and connections). There is a US school as well as other schools around the world, but the lore wasn't built up as well as Hogwarts or even Beauxbatons and Durmstang. (People have asked about US's school and mentioned things like how does these schools work with things like slavery and racial discrimination in the US and what not). Being that JKR is from England and how deep the Hogwarts lore is alone, it's seemingly impossible for her to have a similar depth of lore for the other schools. The newer movies (Fantastic Beasts) focus more on the threat prior to Voldemort as well as how it's connected to Dumbledore in a way. When you're done with this series, I implore you to revisit that one, simply because you can see the difference between a dark wizard like Voldemort and a dark wizard like Grindlewold and just how they went about building their followers). But yes! The movies do get better and no, not all Slytherin are bad. There's just a lot of bias against them. All the houses can have and have had bad/dark wizards in them. Thanks for another great reaction!

AyaaChann

YES ITS HERE! Im gonna watch it this evening 😍

emmainkeri

Yep they are 2 years older than the trio. Born 1st of April in 1978. Harry was born July 31st 1980.

Amberlynn

More to point out! In the books, they go in-depth as to why they thought Harry conjured the dark mark (and not just because he was still in the field). It was actually Harry's wand that conjured it and they found a house elf (Mister Crouch's house elf to be exact) with Harry's wand. Honestly, they omitted a lot about the house elfs and Dobby in the movies which is pretty sad. The Quidditch World Cup in sooo much more in depth in the books and even if you don't read the entire series, I do think you might enjoy that part for all of the lore (and it'll answer a lot of questions such as why no human reported a bunch of strange people in a field doing impossible things). You learn a lot. Also omitted from the movies is *why* the cruciatus curse affected Neville so much in the classroom. It was the same curse that Deatheaters used on both of his parents to torture them into insanity. They spent the rest of their lives in the permanent ward of St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. They didn't even recognize Neville anymore and this is why he's raised by his grandmother. "Moody" making Neville give that curse and watch that creature get tortured definitely made him think of his parents on top of it just being a cruel thing to do in general.

emmainkeri
>>35924761

It gets even worse when you realize that "Moody" was one of the people who tortured his parents.

Nina Demery

I can't believe some people say it gets better from here. In my opinion, Order of the Phoenix is the worst film in the franchise. The third and fourth movies are definitely my favorite. Didn't read the books so this is based purely on the films. I guess it just shows that people truly look for different things when watching.

FernWithy

I'm conflicted on how to rate this one. It's my favorite of the books, but they mangled it so badly in adaptation that, even though the movie wasn't <i>terrible,</i> it was no better than "all right," and because of how much it cut (whole characters and plotlines), it introduces holes that didn't exist in the original. emmainkeri covered most of that. This should have been two episodes. Or, better, a series with a season for each year. ETA: The girl who plays Cho is Scottish, that's the accent.

Fizzy

The reason why I think the last movie is better than this one, is that the Goblet Of Fire omits SO much important plot details. Azkaban does too, but it’s still a well constructed movie, and the minor inconveniences can be explained in a few short paragraphs. Goblet removes all of Percy/Winky/Barty Crouch Jr’s backstory and how he escaped Azkaban. It also reveals Barty Crouch Jr. as a bad guy even though the book doesn’t till the end. They remove Neville’s backstory which I think is really important, and gives us further insight into his character. His parents were tortured to insanity by means of the cruciatus curse. Ron/Harry’s fight is more realistic and understandable in the book too. I understood why Ron was mad in the books, because he was the one who wanted to enter the tournament and kept trying to convince Harry to do it with him through Fred/George’s potion. Harry was the one against it, so when he was chosen it felt like a betrayal. Don’t even get me started on Dumbledore in this film. He was TOO aggressive and moody. The Dumbledore in the book was more level-headed and understanding. I think this a fun movie for non-book readers because a lot of my friends who haven’t read the books seem to love it. I like it, but they changed so much plot points, and omitted major character arcs so that’s why it’s not my favorite.

FernWithy

There's so much that's missing in the movie, and so much that doesn't make even a little sense. (The single-sex schools... WHY? France only has witches now????) Small point, we do know Krum's nationality. After the second task in the books, he invites Hermione to visit his home in Bulgaria. Granted, he could just live there to play, but Occam's Razor suggests that it's probably intended to be his home country. I'd guess that Durmstrang probably serves the old Soviet Union and its various client states.

emmainkeri
>>35927607

It's interesting you say that but haven't read the books, I agree that the 5th movie is in the bottom half. I've said countless of times that I dislike it the most. Usually the 4th movie is loved most by those who didn't read the books, because it's so action packed and easy to watch, basically "the sports one", but non-readers also love the 5th one a lot.

Marissa Brady

I agree with you completely about harry potter needing to be a series. There was just too much information in the books to get it correctly depicted in the movies. Plus, the wizarding world is so vast you could never run out of stories to tell. Harry and Ron's fighting was not depicted well at all in this movie. Actually, a lot of Ron's emotions toward events that happen throughout the series have not been depicted well at all in any of the movies. However, movie wise, it was fantastic! The storytelling, special effects, music scores, and scenery were all really well done.

The problem is that JK Rowling will never let the HP world be turned into a tv series. I think a series would be AMAZING, but for some reason she seems adverse to it.

The way she talks about television and video games in the books with Dudley, she seems to have a bias against them, often presenting them as indications of his spoiled and indolent nature instead of indulgences of them. What's more special effects on tv shows weren't known for being fantastic back in the day, especially British television. For examples look at Merlin and early in the Doctor Who reboot. I think a series *may* come along in a decade or so, but probably not until some time after the Fantastic Beasts/Grindelwald films are done. I'll also note that some of Rowlings more obstinate objections were in reference to a Hogwarts based series with a different cast of characters and not following the books.

Regarding Ron and Hermione, last film they did have her reaching for Ron's hand when she was startled in the Hippogriff scene and I think you said you could ship it when it happened. And she later leaned on him to cry when we thought Buckbeak was executed.

- the Weasley twins, Fred and George, are far from idiots. They are shown more as goofy in the films, but they are actually very smart. They just don't care about academics and would rather focus on doing what they find interesting. At the end of this book, Harry demanded the twins take his Triwizard winnings and do something good with it. - About the three unforgivable curses: they are illegal and not even easy to perform. You said in your breakdown, that it's crazy how anyone could just do them and kill someone. But the thing is, you have to really mean them. Spells aren't just pointing your wand and saying a few words. Even if the students tried to avada kedavra someone, they would maybe cause some nosebleed.

- The kids they put on the bottom of the lake all gave their consent, basically they're put under a spell, and they are basically unconscious. They were never in any real danger. The merepeople are in friendly terms with the school and Dumbledore. - ministry summer internships aren't a thing in the books and this was only added in the movie, I have no idea what it's supposed to be about. I said this already but don't look too deep into it. It's nothing. And because of how much they cut from the actual story and mystery, the death of Crouch doesn't make much sense either. It looks like Crouch Jr. just killed him because he hated his father. But why would he do that, when the mission he's on is so risky? Why would he raise questions like that? In the book it was a much more complicated plot and Junior killed his dad because he had to. I don't wanna spoil it though. - Karkaroff was released from Azkaban eventually due to him naming so many death eaters to the ministry. How he became the headmaster of Durmstrang isn't known, but it doesn't surprise me. Durmstrang is actually known for being favourable towards the Dark Arts. There is a person you'll hear about more in later Potter movies as well as the Fantastic Beasts franchise, who also attended Durmstrang and became one of the most powerful dark wizards of all time. - You wanted to know about the history of the Triwizard Tournament. "The first tournament was held sometime around the late 13th century and was discontinued after 1792 due to the high death toll. In 1994 (this movie) the tournament was revived with restrictions in place in an attempt to stop potential deaths, one being that all applicants had to be of age (17). The tournament was originally established as a friendly competition between the wizarding schools (the ones you see in this movie) and was held every 5 years."

- The reveal scene of Crouch Jr. is way too short in my opinion, they definitely should've explained how he got there and what the plan with Voldemort had been. Of course in the book there was a lot more explaining to do lol. But it just didn't feel as big of a deal as it did in the book. The movie reveal was just a "oh there was this dude who escaped from Azkaban and he helped Voldemort return I guess, well that's that let's move on". - Crabbe, Goyle and Malfoy are all family friends, thanks to the fathers being death eater buddies. Voldemort also revealed Macnair, who was the executioner that came from the Ministry to behead Buckbeak (not all Slytherins are related to death eaters or others who support Voldemort, but a lot his supporters do come from Slytherin). Harry named all of them to Dumbledore, he explained every detail of what had happened to him that night.

Just finished watching, thought the movie was alright. All these Harry Potter movies are just "alright" to me so far with at the very least each latest installment seems to be better than the previous. Thought the first two movies were neat but had no real consequences; they just felt like Disneyland rides. The third movie is where things started getting more interesting to me because of the main 3 characters getting older and becoming more mature but it still suffered from convenient, lazy writing that never made me believe that any of our main characters were in any danger. I want to say I liked this one the most but now I'm not sure since I have MORE questions after I finished the movie but I had a better experience watching it than the others. So I think I like this the best but there's so much introduced that I'm not even sure of what I watched and how it even plays into the grander story. All these big things and characters are introduced seemingly out of nowhere with the "Dark Arts teacher not being who they say they are" again. The reveal of Snape being one of the bad guys in the past was supposed to be a "oh shit" moment but I'm more like "uh duh, look at him!" Then they conveniently don't address Draco's dad as being a servant to Voldemort? So yeah, lots I liked but lots of characterization that was glossed over which I would have preferred over some of the action scenes. Ron and Hermione had that big ass fight and then we are supposed to accept that they're good and over it? Why introduce that in the first place? Because book I guess lol

A few of the questions you had are either answered in the book or are spoilers for later. Regarding Lucius Malfoy, it's mentioned by Ron in the first book that after Voldemort went missing after killing Harry's parents, Lucius was arrested and testified before trial that he was under the Imperius Curse (which "Moody/Crouch Jr." mentions in this book/movie) as did many of Voldemort's followers. The controversy surrounding Dark Arts professors is pretty significant and is explained later in the series. The purpose of the Snape reveal wasn't about him being a Death Eater, but that he later became a spy for Dumbledore before Voldemort went missing (also mentioned in this book/movie).

Well there's a lot of talk about which movies of the franchise are better specially between the fourth and the fifth, I always loved the both but I prefer the fifth, because we see them mature, the storyline is more about Voldemort, the past and Harry, we see them all change... But I've got to said that the fourth is good as well, this last scene was heartbroken, can you imagine seeing your son lying there, dead. Just horrible, and Harry is just 14 years old and he had to endure a face to face against the dark lord, alone and scared, be torture and knowing that's not even finished. He came back...

It’s a great movie! I definitely agree there should’ve been a tv series made. I don’t understand why people don’t like it that much. They’re probably just not big Harry Potter fans in which I ask why watch these full reactions. I love Harry Potter and seeing that you do full reactions to it is what drove me to join your Patreon!

Kinda frustrating that the movie didn't explain what happened in that duel between Voldermort and Harry. Harry’s wand and Voldemort’s wand share cores. Each of them contains a feather from the tail of the same phoenix. So they are "brother" wands and refused to attack each other. Causing Priori Incantatem which is a regurgitation of its spells, resulting in the emergence of the spirits of: Harry's parents and the recently murdered Cedric Diggory.
