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

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.

My family and I love this video. We are big Harry Potter fans. Not a bad deal from amazon either.

I got this particular movie for my daughter to make the set but i have the set & i have to say all of the movies of harry potter are very good.

Great movie. Will never tire of Harry Potter. Looking forward to additional Harry Potter movies.

Amazon does not allow 4.5 so I gave this a five. If you read the books don't expect this film to follow the book to a T. Im going to make this review short and sweet. Michael Gambon's portrayal Dumbldore was the biggest turnoff. He came across as mean and it seemed like he was attacking Harry in once scene. The kids are getting older and their acting get's better with every movie. The acting for the most part was very good and had a natural flow. The special effects were great, espically the dragon's. This film is not as dark as Prisioner of Azkaban but does contain a death scene. There are lighter scenes, mostly focusing on the Yule Ball. Not the best Potter film but not the worst either.

Where as the first Potter film seemed geared towards young children, Goblet of Fire nearly seems the opposite. Not that kids won't enjoy this, though it may be very frightening at times for very young children. But the teenagers and even adults may find this to be a perfect fit for more mature entertainment. The tr-wizard tournament is practically the most dangerous event Potter has dealt with yet. Then there is the formal ball, where both sexes have officialy grown up. There is even some innuendo, which surprised me from a Potter film, but it was still amusing. And perhaps death and the reality of it is the biggest impact this film offers. Oh yes, and Voldemort comes back into full form, played by a deliciously creepy Ralph Fiennes.

This is one of my favorite Potter films because of how well balanced it was made. Despite all the danger, fright and incredible CGI action, there is also humor and drama to balance out the equation. It gives us a little bit of everything, which adds up to high interest and great pacing throughout.

The tr-wizard tournament is the highlight of the movie, with Potter and three others competing in a very deadly and real sport. There are three scenarios that must be won, each more frightening and deadlier than the first. The first obstacle is aquiring a golden egg protected by a very deadly dragon. Harry, ends up against the deadliest of dragons in what provides a very suspenseful and action-oriented showdown. The following scene takes place underwater, in a scene that feels very frighteneing and creepy. The last obstacle is in a massive hedge maze, with quite the feel of Claustrophobia as the hedges seem to come alive.

I thought this was a huge improvement over the last film, Prisoner of Azkaban. They succes to Goblet of Fire is that it gives us quite a bit of everything, and every scene seems to have a purpose, whether it be imprtance to the story or successfully entertaining. Potter has definetly evolved into something that everyone can love, especially the grown ups.

I bought this two-disc DVD after having had the 1 disc DVD since it first came out. I think all Harry Potter fans should have this 2-disc edition as a part of their collection since it has all the deleted scenes and added features that the 1-disc DVD lacks.
As for the movie itself, it's a great movie for its special effects and cinematography but if you are expecting it to be like the book, you will be disappointed. All in all, the movie is well worth your money especially if you get this 2-disc edition.

Well to me, so far, this is my favorite Potter film, ahead of Order of the Pheonix which was also very watchable. I'll admit, I fell asleep on Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets as the stories were too slow moving, perhaps set up for kids to slowly understand; but this forth film kept me interested. I'm not going to do a book vs film comparison as I have not read the books, but from a theatrical standpoint this is the definitive Harry Potter movie. Goblet of Fire one contains fun for kids, teens and adults whereas the first 2 films were mainly for kids. I have not watched Prisoner of Azkaban (probably going to purchase this one next) in its entirety so I cannot pass a snore-review on that one, but from a film-making standpont this film also has succeeded in its goal to scare and captivate audiences to their seats. In this film we see the maturitity of the Potter cast, it includes suspense, horror, comedy, adventure, action and overall fun-factor.

Director Mike Newell, placed a more serious and darker twist on the Potter series which sees the outcome of Potter as a true hero. Harry is challenged by his nightmares, the Tri-Wizard competetion, and his friendship with Ron and Hariome. Through all the trials and tribulations the audience watches as Harry matures and overcomes all odds with very little question and moderate help.

The cinematography is simply awesome. Colors reflect emotions as you watch Harry's nightmares and also as Harry's name is chosen from the Goblet of Fire. There are many cues in the story which serves a sort of a guide of whats to come. This one is definitely worth watching more than once. One scene that comes to mind is when Harry attempts to escape from the fire-breathing Horntail Dragon and capture a golden egg...WOW! Now this scene really pleases your surround sound system while boasting stunning visuals. Ambient noises are also well positioned to take advantage of you rear surround channels.

If you are going to add any Harry Potter Movie to your HD DVD collection, this is the one to get. It has 5 star story, picture and sound quality. The extras include a 30 minute interview with Harry, Hermione and Ron. Also, as with all other films in the series for HD DVD, it includes The In Movie Experience aka 'the iciing on the cake.' Goblet of Fire is a must OWN!

The picture quality & audio quality is amazing on this HD DVD release of Harry Potter. I have them all, and I am very happy with them. Much better than the SD DVD version by far.

The movie itself is great, just like when I seen it in the Theatres. A must own for anybody.

I am not a fan of wizards and magic. I've never read a Harry Potter book, but for some reasonm I enjoy the movies very much. Maybe it is just nice to escape reality for a little while and root for a very unasuming hero. What I always seem to like about Harry Potter is that he always lands on top but seldom knows what he's doing. Also it's nice to see action movies without the typical muscle bound hero who leaves everything behind him in a fire of explosions.

The Goblet of Fire chooses who will compete in a TriWizard Tournament. Harry is not allowed to enter because of his age, but he ends up being entered as a fourth contestant. It is only at the end that we discover 'you know who' is behind it all for his own evil purposes, like being born again.

The wizard tournament events are spectacular, stealing a golden egg from a dragon, saving friends from mer-people, and the scariest hedge maze since The Shining.

Of course this flick has a sub plot about the kids at Hogwarts growing up and beginning to notice the opposite sex. A grand dance is given on Christmas Eve and those ackward moments are in abundance prior to and during. Harry may be able to fly a broom stick and outmaneuver a dragon, fight off underwater monsters, and face 'who know who' but he can't dance. You can't win them all.

Great flick with superb special effects that make you forget it's all computers.

this is a great dvd. anyone interested in harry potter will love this.
add it to your collection!!!!!!!

I read all the books and to really understand the movies you have to read the books they leave to much out. The movie is about 1/4 of the book.

This movie is by far the best movie so far.
After getting used to all the changes that were made in the 3rd movie, the fourth movie is a blast.
The first thing I have to say is "VOLDEMORT RULES!!!" Whoever played Voldemort did an excellent job and you really learn to hate him (which is a good thing if you learn to hate the character and not the actor).
The special effects rock and the acting is much better than I remember it being in the previous movies.
I can't say much about the story because there's nothing new under the sun. As usual the director cut things, added things, and shortened things so as to make it not nearly as good as the books, but that's to be expected with all films that are based off of books.
All in all this is a great movie that deserves to be bought off the shelf and watched over and over and over again.

great dvd lots of special features if your a potter fan then definately get this

If I described this as immersive it would be true in more ways than one.House Elves, Goblins a detailed plot and story line distinguish it from The Order of the Phoenix which is good on paper but looks like it was hastily put together on film with poor attention to continuity and special effects that are essential to HP Movies. So the Goblet of Fire gets 5 Stars and The Order of the Phoenix 3

IT MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST MOVIE IN THE SERIES BUT IF YOUR A FAN OF HARRY POTTER THEN YOU NEED THIS IN YOUR COLLECTION. I DONT HAVE KIDS AND I LOVE THIS MOVIE.
