Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Raved as "The Best One Yet", Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the fourth film adaptation of J.K. Rowling's popular novel series. Also said to be the darkest, thrilling and exciting of the four, one of the main hype was catching Daniel Rafcliffe in the flesh.
At 14, Harry must contend with being mysteriously selected to compete in the prestigious Triwizard Tournament, that pits him against older and Cedric from Hogwarts and two rival European wizarding schools.
I was indeed curious to see Harry's Chinese love interest and Indian admirers during the Hogwarts' Yule Ball dance. The minor roles and insignificant little dance kept you wondering, "What's the hype about?" It should be catching Emma Watson blossom into a gorgeous, young lady.
The darkest, but not the most entertaining. The CG effects and interesting new roles while providing eye candy, was a case of too many magicians spoiling the broth.
The magic of Harry Potter was in its blend between good, clean fun with the mysterious, fantasy world. It lacks of the former and a cinematic climax that I thought book may provide a better visual picture. The best one yet to me was still The Prisoner of Azkaban.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire – Wished for more magic, but somehow still a must watch.
