Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Lots of shit will be cut from the story for this movie (eg no dursleys ) They are good stories though. I recommend them to anyone.

I'm not sure I haven't seen it yet

I think on the way to the Quidditch World Cup. I thought the Weasley/Dursley scene was one of the best in the series so far too and was looking forward to seeing in on the big screen That's one thing I love about the HP books/movies. the movies are cast so well that you actually almost picture the movies when you read the books.

If you are interested this is an awesome Harry Potter web site. http://www.mugglenet.com/

I also heard that they cut out the whole Hermione trying to free the house elves thing.  That's ok though.  They have to cut some stuff if they want to make it under three hours. 

I'm off to see it right now!

much as i enjoyed reading the first 3 books of harry potter, in no way does her writing skills come anywhere close to tolkien, the best she can write is with a bit of wittiness and pander to childrens fascination of fantasy...tolkien could wrap the 5 senses into one sentence,  I dont think Rowling is capable of that

So are the films any good? ive never seen any of them

Tolkien and Rowling really can't be compared.  Lord of the Rings is a far more complex and meaningful story than any Harry Potter book.  But Harry Potter is still good, its just in a different sort of league.

Rowling should get credit for being able to write for a 10 year old, yet still write in such an entertaining way that people of all ages enjoy the books.  The Harry Potter books are engaging, not life changing, but great stories.  And I think her writing has improved over the course of the books.

As far as the movies, they are decent.  The books are better, but isn't that almost always the case? 

This last one is a good movie, but they cut alot of stuff out.  Still I was entertained the entire time, I never once checked the time to see when it would be over (something I always do if a movie slows down...even a great movie).  So it was good.

What was really funny to me was the scene where Harry is about to get into a tub, and he is seen shirtless.  The gasps and giggles from the teen girls in the audience was hillarious.

I like the Harry Potter books, but I'm not a huge fan.  At any rate, I went and saw the movie today, and it really was the best film yet.  I think as the characters get older they get more interesting for an older audience.  And Sterling, the same thing happened in the theatre I was in during the tub scene.  Looks like Harry and Ron are getting buff. 

I'm glad that they cut out a lot of the stuff from the novels too, because this movie just seemed to flow better and be more consistently entertaining than the other three, which all seemed to drag a bit.  The plot here was leaner and meaner, and there was a lot of funny stuff during that part about the Yule Ball.

By the way, how about that trailer for the new Superman movie?  Looks awesome!

Just watched the movie, and it was pretty good.

Quit comparing HP to LOTR! you make yourself's sound like asses!!  They're both just books for christ sake!!
