Why Goblet of Fire was disappointing as a movie

I haven't seen this yet, but after reading it (and everyone else's thoughts on its bad points), I'm wondering WHO EXACTLY they are catering these movies towards: fans of the book, or simply fans of the movie? I would assume that a good majority of the people who see these movies are fans of the books, so what in the hell?

I also think Cho is ADOOOOOOORABLE! She's so much cuter than I pictured her. The girl who played Fleur just doesn't do it for me at all, though. I don't think she was right for the part. Keep in mind, though, that I still haven't seen the movie; I personally just don't get the same vibe from the actress that I got from Book!Fleur.

Well see, they are making the movies...well I'm not sure who for. But I imagine that people who haven't read the books have got to be at least slightly confused with some of the stuff said in passing from the movie.

I like Katie Leung in the role of Cho much more now that I've seen her in it rather than stills. Her Scottish accent is the sweetest thing ever.

Fluer was good in the role. But since they never mention that she's a veela I'm assuming they changed it for the movie and she no longer is a veela. As just a normal girl she works. Of course, her actual French accent isn't nearly as thick as book Fluer's was.

Yeah, once you mentioned Fleur was not a veela in the movie (which just amazes me, I see no reason at all for them to leave that out) I figured that might be why Fleur isn't, well, as alluring as she should be.

I still can't wait to see it, even if this is the book where Harry starts to turn into a normal teenager and gets a bit too angsty.

No, no. He's angst boy in Order of the Phoenix. He's still mostly normal in GoF. Well, normal for harry. He's a whiny bitch in the next one *Groan*

Yeah, OotP was THE WORST as far as angst goes, but I noticed it starting in this one. :\

Well, good point. I always wanted to bitch slap harry in OotP

i dunno, i loved ootp, thought it was the absolute best written of all the books so far. i think it is unrealistic for him NOT to be that way, atleast part of the time. alot of shit goes down that brings out all of his inner darkness and it is essential that he recognise and work through it, which he does, as evidenced by HBP where he is oddly calm about everything.
