Thoughts on The Goblet of Fire

[strange_complex]

I'm still ill, and having one more day off work before I return to the fray tomorrow. The last few days have been pretty rotten overall, but I have at least had plenty of time to read. Hence, I have now finished Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

I actually finished the previous book, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire about a fortnight

I am really looking forward to the film,

I am too, but with a little dread. I thought the PoA was not as good as it could have been. I am not sure why, but I thought the fun of the two films before were totally lost. It is the meanest of the three. I am hoping the new director, Mike Newell, can recapture that.

I am hoping they film OoP in two parts. It is a complicated story line and I think so much will be lost if they don't. Heck they did LOTR that way.

Ooh, hello!

Prisoner of Azkaban was definitely different from the previous two films, but I thought the change was good, in that it matched a change in tone in the books as the subject matter got heavier. Obviously there were things which were changed: the one which really stood out for me was Snape being conscious after the Shrieking Shack scene, and thus being able to stand between werewolf-Lupin and the kids. But overall I thought it was very good.

I'm not sure where I stand on the two-film idea - the same thing was suggested for Goblet of Fire, but in the end I think one film was probably best, since, as I've said above, I didn't think the book was that amazing.

By contrast, I really enjoyed Order, and would like to see ful justice done to it. But then again, one film per book is just neater. I just don't know!
