I was not expecting this movie to be funny. Other great moments include Harry taking his Felix Felicus potion, Ron accidentally eating a love potion and just about every scene with Professor Slughorn. Like after Harry and Ginny hide the book in the room of requirement and share their first kiss, Ron meets up with Harry afterwards and says “So did you and Ginny do it then?” To which a taken aback Harry replies “What?” and Ron asks “Hide the book?” There are jokes that you probably didn’t notice as a kid. They kinda just vibe with everyone and for the first time do normal school things. No longer is it Harry, Ron and Hermione going off on their own childish quest no one else knows about. There is danger, but now everyone acknowledges it. ![]() Yet at the same time, it feels the most normal of all the movies. Remember, Sirius just died! Voldemort is publicly confirmed alive! Harry now has the burden of being the chosen one! Muggles are now in danger! Director David Yates does well in projecting the seriousness of it all. What eventually made me choose the sixth over the third was that the sixth was so much harder to tackle than the third. The film truly raises the stakes, pushes characters in interesting directions, and has plenty of humor to spare.īet you thought I was going to say Prisoner of Azkaban, didn’t you? It was a tough call. Out of the eight films in the franchise, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince stands above the rest. The Best: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) However at the end of the day, it wasn’t enough to save the movie as a whole, which is why The Goblet of Fire is at the end of the pack. I will say the graveyard scene where Voldemort rises is a top tier moment for the entire franchise, and I took into heavy consideration. The TriWizard Tournament was supposed to be a fun addition to the school year, but since the movie cuts so much, it only features the stressful parts of the tournament, and that’s not how someone should feel watching Harry Potter. Harry’s worried about the tournament, his feud with Ron and the way his peers pit him up against Cedric. I rewatched The Goblet of Fire a few days ago and found that I was just stressed the whole time. Like how after Cedric died, the kids just bounce back from it within a day? Harry witnessed the murder of a friend and the rise of Lord Voldermort, and his friends don’t even check up on him? The movie ends on a light note after You-Know-Who rose from the dead: this is the one point where the movie should be dark. I know it was a long book, but some things just aren’t explained. What also hurts The Goblet of Fire is the weird plot holes. It makes me wonder if Gambon even bothered to watch Harris’ Dumbldore before agreeing to the role, because his version was perfect. Throughout the movie Gambon is pacing, shouting, waving his arms around: Dumbledore is a quiet leader, not an aggressive and frightening one. It wasn’t just the one scene he never got Dumbledore right. In fact, Gambon has been quoted saying that there was no point in reading them, and he played some of the role simply as himself.Īlthough not all actors have to read the books before they agree to a movie, by not doing so Gambon really hurt the movie. While Richard Harris was a huge fan of the Harry Potter series and was pressured by his granddaughter to try out for the role (she said she would never speak to him again if he didn’t), Michael Gambon had never read any of the books when he accepted his role. Michael Gambon plays Dumbledore from movie three and on, after Richard Harris passed away. In the movie, Dumbledore practically sprints across the room, grabs and shakes Harry’s shoulders, and aggressively screams “Harry! Did yah put your name in the Goblet of Fire?!” “Did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire, Harry?” Dumbledore asked calmly. This is what Professor Dumbledore says, taken directly from the book. There, the professors meet him to discuss what might have happened. ![]() In the books, when Harry’s name is unwillingly put in and called out of the titular Goblet of Fire, he is led in a room with the other tributes. Harry Potter fans, I know you know what I’m talking about. I have a lot to say about this film, but I’ll start with the worst of the worst. ![]() Its strange plot holes and questionable acting decisions by Michael Gambon put it right at the bottom. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the worst out of the Harry Potter movies.
