goblet of fire...

hmmm... harry potter, the goblet of fire is really a great show... since most peoplehave already read the book prior to this... this counts as spoiling as much as xiaxue counts as a really polite person...
okie... as usual there is one so much time that a movie can run for... in this case 157 minutes... even then... lots of parts have been excluded from the flick... others have been unfortunately shorten... however... i must say that the essence of the book wasn't not lost... at most exceeding most legal spped limits...
certain characters which were part of the book were left out... like winky... barty crouch's house elf... in the book she was the one who stole harry's wand and used it to cast the dark mark... but in the show she was none exisitant... wonder if she'll turn up later...
barty crouch junior was then credited with the evil deed... i bet he's happy he got more screen time... barty crouch junior was suppose to have straw coloured hair in the book but in the flick he was black haired... perhaps i remembered wrongly...
they left out the world cup quidditch match as well... so what if they show them fly in... i want watch a quidditch match... so sad...
they left out the dragon fighting scenes of the other tri-wizard champions... given that the book also had only short paragraphs on this... i can't really blame the movie makers... but it would have bee nice... anyways... harry's fight with the dragon was quite over ratted... don't remenber them actually leaving the arena...
they also failed to mentioned that de fluer is part veele... (is this how to spell it??? i can't be too sure...)
they left out hargrid's up and down relationship with mdm maxime... she apparently is half giant but was appalled when hargrid talked about it...
they left out muc of rita skeeter's screen time... she was apparently more irrating and ommipresent that protrayed in the movie... she was apparently an unregistered (can't remenber the term now... but she could transfigure into a beetle... hence she snuck up on everyone's secret meetings...) anyhow... herminoe then cleverly deduced this and threatened her and got her kicked out off the school grounds... therefore i don't think she was actually suppose to be there at the last task...
harry looked like he didn't have much help in the movie... but actually everyone who was anyone tried to help harry in the book... mad-eye taught him how to use a summoning spell to get his broom... befre his fight with the dragon... the minister actually offered to help him in the next task if he needed any...
they left out the blast ended skwerts... hahahaha... they were funny... really wanted to see one on screen... they showed on from one of the previous flick but that was such a tiny one... there was suppose to be a huge one in the maze...
not to sound like they missed out on much... but really how are people who don't read the book be able to understand the story later... i'm quite sure some of the crap i've mentioned will turn up later... anyways these are just the ones that i could remember... if you have any questions kindly fill it in the comments... i will try to answer it of clarify it when my exams are over... hahahahaha...
watch the movie...
