Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Two-Disc Deluxe Widescreen Edition)

i already gave my feed back when i received this-but the movie was fantastic. i now have the entire collection so now i can watch them anytime-no matter how many times i see them, i still find something i missed before-love it loveit!

I bought this online because my kids love the last disk of it to death.

I buy all my movies on Amazon. This Harry Potter didn't disappoint. A really enjoyable movie, and the best part of it is that with Amazon buying the movies I want is easy and efficient.

This is just another film of Potter's series, but has a goot transcription to blu-ray. Why there is not the DTS sound??? All the movies of anykind generally has the sound recorded in DTS too, but why few DVDs and Blu-rays have this option ? DTS sound is always the BEST !!! Listen to Predator X Aliens 2 and you will understand !!! If you want my email,it is gdcmusic@uol.com.br

It was nice getting the DVD at such a cheap price. It came in the mail about 10 days after I ordered it. Overall I'm happy

I've watched and enjoyed the other four Harry Potter movies and read all of the books. This movie is too rushed, trying to fit so much in that it leave gapping holes in the plot. Someone who has read the book might enjoy this movie as a visualization of some of the story's concepts, but to see this movie without the benefit of pre-reading would be a waste.

The script is pretty miserable and the lighting is too dark to be appreciated from a home setting.

I was fortunate enough to catch a midnight showing of the latest installment in the Harry Potter series, and I must say it does not disappoint. Harry Potter has matured a great deal, along with his best friends, Hermione and Ron, who all share a great deal of emotional turmoil related to romance, friendship and death.

They have quite a bit of obstacles thrown at them, everything from magic to the green demon of jealousy, not to mention the overwhelming forces of Voldemort. Perhaps the most intriguing part of the film is the character development that is brought forth through the testing of the trio's friendship as their platonic feelings grow beyond into something more passionate and dangerous.

The Quidditch World Cup is wonderful, however brief it is, and as usual Potter's involvement in it is nothing short of extraordinary, especially his encounter with a scaly and ferocious creature. This time however, the game goes beyond the traditional matches, and actually becomes a matter of life and death, which takes the film down a much deeper and darker path than ever seen before.

By no means is this film for children any longer, as it has ventured into the territory of content for adolescents and adults. That's a good thing though, because the natural progression of their age and maturity is matched by that of the wickedness of the world that these characters inhabit, and as a result the character development is all the more significant. Their lives are no longer as innocent as they once were, and the dark forces in the world of Harry Potter take a more proactive approach in their power struggle, something which has far more dire consequences than that of the first three films.

Several new characters are introduced who add a great deal of substance to the plot, and as a result the previously existing relationships are permanently altered, becoming more complex than that of childish innocence. Potter's new mentor for example sort of leads Potter down a nefarious path, which is the only way Potter has a chance to stand up to the imminent confrontation of his greatest foe. His inner demons grow in numbers, and it's obvious that Potter is no longer as benevolent as he once was.

The special effects and setting never disappoint, which complement the film just as effortlessly as before. I must give credit to the new director Mike Newell who has a deep understanding of the more disturbing and adult nature of this 4th chapter in the series.

I wouldn't say that this movie is better than the others, but it's definitely a worthy successor and moves the plot along as well as one could expect. I definitely recommend this film to Potter fans and newcomers alike because it is completely entertaining from start to finish.

One of the most action filled of the Potter movies. Especially enjoyed seeing a young Robert Pattinson (Cedric Digery) in the this movie. Good video quality not quite as good as Order of the Phoenix, but good color and enjoyable time spent. Glad I got the blu ray - no comparison to the regular DVD, Blu Ray is so superior.

This is the 4th Harry Potter movie. I think it's the scariest so far. He has to deal with the death of someone he knows. And someone who he thinks he knows isn't who they claim to be. It's got great visual effects and awesome acting all around.

While books are always better, the Potter movie series never fails to disappoint. My daughter and I always like to see the movie after reading the books (again and again). Right now we are preparing for the 6th movie coming out this summer by reading the books and seeing the movies again. This 5th is a perfect addition to our collection.

Every Harry Potter movie that comes out keeps getting better and better...this fourth one is filled with action-packed adventure, misconstrued friendship, and true love. I enjoy buying the two disc sets over the single editions b/c of the extras and interviews that are available. And every time I buy a movie, it's like adding another piece to me.

They're growing up, for sure. There are a lot more people in this one! What can I say, I'm female, more hot guys come out in this one. If you're a fan, this is a great collection.

If you are a Harry Potter fan with a Blu-Ray player, You need to buy all the Harry Potter movies. I love the detail that you don't see until you have seen it on Blu-Ray. It's like seeing it for the first time! The only thing that would make it better would be a 2 disc collector's edition or something.

The Bottom Line:

Though some of the cutting and trimming process seems nonsensical (why include an unnecessary Rita Skeeter?) and most of the book's magic--for lack of a better word--is lost, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is one of the better adaptations (of one of the better books) the film series has to offer.

The DVD was delivered quickly and in good shape. The only thing is (and this could be my mistake) is that I thought it was new, with wrapping. There wasn't any wrapping when I received it. But I watched it and all was well!

I bet the demons, wherever their HQ is, must watch these movies and then laugh uproariously to see little kiddies watching these demonic films! Satan must then hand them the next film and they do the same thing, all the while thinking about how little children, teenagers, and adults watch this garbage and actually take it to heart! If only people would see the truth about Harry Potter, no more money would go towards demonic activities! "The truth shall set you free."

I enjoyed this movie and bought this as a gift. It arrived on time and in the condition promised. Thank you.

This DVD continued to have an enchanting environment. A labyrinth underwater breathing new magical creatures. He Who Must Not Be Named returns and threatens Harry's existence. The story line is picking up. I don't think this was better then yr 3 though

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was amazing on Blu-ray. Audio was amazing, but the picture in some scenes were a bit off. But the rest of the movie was great!

It's not as good as the first 3 years of Potter. It's not as cohesive and as they grow older, the 3 stars' accents are harder to understand. But, good.

Soy una gran fanática de la serie, y recomiendo ampliamente el Blu ray, la imágen es impresionante y el sonido ni se diga. No puede faltar en su colección!

This was an upgrade to HD DVD. It was what I requested and came in a timely manner.

I have some of the films on HD-DVD as well, but there is no differnece in quality between the two. Great film!!

The Harry Potter movies have been an everlasting source of comfort for me. I was always promised a good faithful script, nice acting, and stunning visuals. But....Something along the road didn't quite work for Goblet of Fire. What didn't work, however? The first three movies ran smoothly, were great, and didn't have any problems. What happened?

It's Harry's fourth year at Hogwarts, and sometime has passed since he last heard from Voldemort. But quite suddenly, Voldemort supporters start springing up, promising terrifying results. On top of that, Hogwarts is hosting the Tri-Wizard tournament; a Wizarding competition.....And Harry might just have his first crush....Now before I start with the bad, let me start off with the good....It's always best to start that way now isn't it?

Rupert Grint gives a solid performance as Ron Weasley. He might just be the best young actor in the entire cast. He delivers his lines precisely, as great facial expressions, and is just a way to watch on film. Robert Pattinson does a fine job as Cedric Diggory, and makes a welcome, (if not short) addition to the cast. Oliver and James Phelps are back as the two Twins, and are hilarious once again. Tom Felton shows true professionalism as he steals every scene he's in, even if he only has three lines in the entire movie!

As far as adult actors go, Jason Isaacs as Lucius Malfoy and Alan Rickman as Severus Snape steal the scenes they're in. Jason is devilish as Mr. Malfoy, and nobody could play Severus as Alan can. But it's truly Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort that's the wonderous performance. Ralph has always been a favorite as mine, and he practically is Voldemort. Mr. Fiennes's acting is superb, as you find you can't take your eyes off of him....even if he has no nose....

But all reviews have to have a negative side; even in the case of Harry Potter.

I cannot fathom any idea as to what happened to Emma Watson. Her acting vastly improved in Prisoner of Azkaban, and she was showing promising results as Miss Granger. But suddenly, it was like as if she had suddenly taken a class on how not to act. In every scene Miss Watson is in, she's either A) Looking as if she's ready to cry, B) Getting ready to yell at someone, or C) Smirking very stupidly into the camera. What happened? As my title suggests... Perhaps it was the script? Surely the script however, does not give word for word what expression to use at every second however! Hermione Granger has left the building, and we have indeed been left with an empty shell.

The same thing goes for Daniel Radcliff; his acting even takes a detour! He only has one expression on the entire time of the movie, and comes across as very bland indeed. Miranda Richardson as Rita Skeeter was an atrocious mistake on every level. She hams the role up too much; the acting coming across much too over the top. Also, what was up with Dumbledore? I love the Michael Gambon as Dumbledore, but who decided to make him bland? He's supposed to be warm and fuzzy, but in this movie comes across very cold and unsympathetic. We can only blame this on a bad script.

The visuals in the film are nothing to write home about. Everything looks positively dark and dreary; which isn't very appealing to the eye. In turn this makes the viewer of the film bored, as stunning visuals grab the viewers; but there aren't any here. And I know Goblet of Fire is supposed to be dark, but is was too overly dark and depressing and not appealing to the eye at all.

It also seems the Magic takes a backseat in this flim. As another reviewer said, this movie is more like a movie about a School and Hormonal teens then it is about magic. The Yule Ball gets more screen time then it's worth; including a very stupid shot of Miss Watson walking down the steps in a pretty pink gown. The movie focuses more on Hormones and Death, and that's not what makes the Harry Potter franchise...Harry Potter.

Also, there's no Special Features. Seems you have to buy the 2-Disc special edition to get any. Which is bad if you already went and shelled out Twenty bucks for this version; to go out and shell out almost 40 is quite stupid indeed.

Me: Mr. Owl, Why was Goblet of Fire such a terrible film?

Mr. Owl: The world will never know.....

It seems Hollyweird, who usually can't get anything right, just "gets" what Potter is all about.
They haven't made one poor movie based on the Potter books yet, and that is saying something.
I don't understand why so many "OFFICIAL" film critics slammed this for being too dark. HUH???
Clearly they haven't read any of the books.
IT'S SUPPOSED TO GET DARKER!!!
The kids are growing up, the story line is getting more serious, if Hollywood tries to dummy the story line down they WILL alienate all the rabid readers.
Sorry critics, it's not Hollywood who dropped the ball, you did.
This film is yet another brilliant addition to the Potter legend.
Another must see/ must own.

I am very pleased with my purchase, I stayed up late and watched my new DVD as soon as I got it. It came very fast after I ordered it and was everything it was said to be. I would definately order from Amazon in future.

One of my favorite movies and books of the series, this Harry Potter DVD doesn't disappoint with its special features and director commentary.

As always I have found the Harry Potter Potter Series great. This latest was no disappointment. I think its originator Ms J. K. Rowling has done an excellent job with her books and now to see the video is fantastic.

This is a really great movie. It seems to stay true to the book. Really a must have if you're a true Harry Potter fan. Plus this 2-disk has plenty of special games, features, etc...

Even those who are not die-hard Harry Potter fans will like the Goblet of Fire. I wasn't a DHHPF and I thought the movie was great. Now I'm hooked.

Harry battles his nemesis for the 4th time in this segment of the series. He loses those close to him and he learns that all things can be overcome with friends around to help. Emotions are high in this film as the kids mature and that is to be expected. Another great movie in the series.

Not much I can say negative about this DVD. If you enjoyed the HP books and previous HP movies, it is likely you will enjoy HP and the Goblet of Fire. Book #4 is quite a long book; so expect some details to be missing from the movie.

This movie was meant to be shown in high def. Video quality is excellent and the sound is awesome. Well worth it even if you own the DVD. Blu-ray version is superb in every way.

Harry and his cohorts are teens, who'd have figured, and this vehicle, "The Goblet of Fire", although just a wee bit muddled here or there, weathers the storm. This particular entrant introduces us to the darker side of magic, and to a host of stimulating visual effects. There's also some boy meets girl stuff, and the introduction of an untimely death. An awful lot for a just under two hour movie. Great story line, predictably excellent acting, but not quite five stars - close though.

This is one of the better HP movies, and I highly recommend it in HD.

This movie was great and I like it. This movie scene was excellent. This movie was another big hit for Harry Potter series. I enjoyed the movie.

I have all the HD-DVD movies. All of them are superb. HD-DVD may be down and out, but that also translates into cheaper HD movies. Unless you plan on surrendering your HD-DVD player, you can't go wrong with the HD-DVD Harry Potter movies. The picture quality is just too good. My sound system is currently dead, so I can't say much on sound.

This series just keeps getting darker and darker and I'm glad that translated over to the big screen as well.

Here is the fifth of the increasingly indistinguishable Harry Potter series. I just finished watching it and was mostly bored. I imagine by the 7th installment, the seven entries will mesh into one long jumbled movie in most peoples' mind. Already, it is hard to recall which scenes go to which movies unless one is fanatically attentive. I am not. This series is becoming more and more "for hardcore fans only". For most,I imagine the bloom is off this rose.

Harry, Hermione and Ron spend another two hours getting into and out of trouble for our viewing pleasure. By this time, we can relax as the various plot devices click into place, sort of like a James Bond movie. Indeed, one can practically set one's watch by thse encounters. About every 15-20 minutes, our heroes face off against...something or someone and one of them, usually Harry, is oblidged to rescue one or both of the others.

In each installment, we are presented with eyepopping CGI, a few somewhat clever "new" characters and a greater level of teen angst then the previous installment. This entry is even more humorless than the last. The dialogue is just as elementary, the acting is mostly flat or hammed up (it's ostensibly a children's movie) and most of the characters are not particularly interesting. Also, by this point, there are so many characters that very few get enough screentime to connect with the viewer. There is an increasingly noticable juxtaposition between the gloom and doom and the inherently silly premise. A bunch of children running around waving sticks and flying brooms. It only took George Lucas three movies to take Luke Skywalker from callow whiny farmboy to callow whiny Jedi-savior-of-the-galaxy. Thank you George.

After Prisoner of Azkaban, this actually disappointed me. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't outstanding either. I'll do this pro/con.

Pros-
Great special effects, as always. Cedric Diggory actually made me a Hufflepuff fan. Daniel Radcliffe continues to impress. Rupert Grint is pretty funny. Emma Watson is as pretty as ever. The graveyard scene in the end was fantastic!!!!!!! And I really like Michael Gambon as Dumbledore. The music was good, and the Quidditch stadium at the World Cup was quite impressive.

Cons-
To begin with, the film doesn't start with Harry at 4 Privet Drive. While it isn't a huge deal, all the previous movies had, and the book did. Also, the movie ventured too far from the book. It almost relied on the audience to remember things from the book to fill in the plot holes in the movie. Ron's hair is hideous. The whole house-elf thing is completely taken out. They Hollywood-ized the first task, with Harry flying all over Britain being chased by a dragon. PLEASE! Oh, and I don't think they did the end of the book justice. I remember being on the verge of tears reading Dumbledore's "remember Cedric" speech at the end, but it's completely watered down in the movie.

So, it isn't terrible, but it was a bit disappointing. Three and a half stars.

I love the Harry Potter books. They have adventure, suspense, and all the things that make a good read. I thought the movie was good, too, but I have issues with the exposure on the film. It's really dark and hard to see most of the time. Even if the subject is dark, and this one is, the exposure on the film doesn't need to be dark.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire [Blu-ray]

It is hard to believe that this was not just an upscaled version of the standard DVD which I have also have. There does not seem to be any extra detail.

I have read every Harry Potter book, and once again I'm impressed at how well the movie follows the storyline. A lot is missing from the movie, of course, and as I tell my 10-year-old, you get a lot more insights from reading the books. Nevertheless, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" movie did not disappoint me and I am anxiously awaiting for the last two movies to become available ("... and the Order of the Phoenix" also excellent!).

There are times when you think "oh, sure" but that's what Harry Potter is all about! I can tell you that while reading the books a was shocked and saddened at times, laughing at other times, and always kept in suspense as to the ending.

J.K. Rowling knows how to hold her audience. I would highly recommend that you read the books first, but by all means also enjoy the movies. Watching Harry, Ron, & Hermione grow make them feel like part of the family. When they're upset, I'm upset. I love Hagrid... he is one of my favorite characters. Right or wrong, I also like Professor Snape!

Do as my son and I did; collect all your Harry Potter movies and have a movie marathon! You won't want them to ever end.

I was conflicted about buying the one disc or two disc version with all of the add ons. I would suggest for any fan of the series to buy the two disc version as there are fun games and extra scenes you'll enjoy in addition to the movie.

What a classic, what is not to like. Great addition to the previous Harry Potter movies.

This movie was nothing like the book. The book was amazing! Probably my favorite in the series. It is nothing like this movie. If you hate to read then I suppose you may enjoy this movie because you wont know better. It is ruined for me though. Please, read the book if you haven't. THAT is a real treat!

REALLY great extras on this movie, beautiful quality. Got this on a buy 1 for $20 get one free. Was an AWESOME deal. I HATE Warner Bros. for abandoning the BEST HD movie format HD-DVD. Great movie great price

This is one movie that I think would have been better if they stuck more to the book than they did. It was a good movie, but could have been better if they ran more true to the book. I know that movies seldom are exactly like the book, but I like the Harry better in the book than the movie character -- he's more like a real person in the book, and too "goody-goody" in the movie.

I thought this was a pretty good movie, but not nearly as much detail as the book. Let me say first off, if you are wanting to watch a movie that is very similar to the book, you're gonna be disappointed. In other reviews where is ranked low, that was the primary reason. If you are looking for entertainment that is not exactly like the book, you'll probably like this movie if you've liked the other HP movies, but quality was a bit lacking, hence 4 stars.

The main focus of the movie: Quidditch world cup, BUT only really the part with the death eaters. Triwizard Tournament ~ this took up the majority of the movie, the dragon scene (we don't get to see any of the others fight their dragons, only Harry), figuring out the clue from the golden egg and moaning myrtle in the bathroom, the 2nd event with the grindylows, etc. and then the final event with the maze and the final battle with voldemort. Finally they end the movie with revealing how HP's name ended up in the cup (and I don't want to give the ending away in case someone hasn't read the book yet).

I think if I hadn't read the book first that I would have liked this movie more.

HP & the Goblet of Fire got here quickly & undamaged. Also couldn't find this version (Collectors Edition) in the stores any where.
