Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Okay, I know I'm desperately late - it premiered a week later here, and last week I was too vamped out to give it justice. But it was worth it. The rhythm, the humour, the visuals - best Potter movie so far.

Oooh, and brilliant actors, too. And costumes. Mmm, those red Bulgarian Yule Ball uniforms...

Between him and Lucius, it's no contest. One more movie and all the other side will have will be David Thewlis' dodgy moustache :D

...Taye Diggs? And that's a big maybe. Both Fiennes and Isaacs are just too deliciously evil in their roles.

Fiennes made me see Voldemort as this tragically deluded vampire archetype, damn him, with Lucius as his fanatically loyal lieutenant who's suffering inside because of the deception he needs to practice. Both of these are big hot buttons for me, so even with the delicious twins and the fact Daniel Radcliffe's shaping up to be drop-dead gorgeous once he's fully grown, I'll be rooting for the Death Eaters over here.

Ooh yeah. Lucius had that whole "I will follow you to the ends of the Earth" thing going. In a way, I was almost glad Cissy wasn't in the movie - if she had had less chemistry with Lucius, that would have been a blow to my Malfoy DarkOTP.

I'm not sure who I'd want as Bellatrix, but she'd have to be seriously intense. Still, with Ralphdemort, you can see where her devotion would come from...
