I made fun of the way all the boys hair is in the fourth movie, but then I got to age 14 and… yeah that actually happens. Every boy just decided that they wanted 60s, 70s, 80s, and 00s hair combined into one horrific mess.
I quite disliked the long mullets on the cast. I’d heard that was a trend at the time, but I thought the style was ugly. 🤷🏻♀️ And I like long hair on guys as well as short. 🤪
Coz Cedric Digory was awsome character. I don't know why Rowling made him such a bad boy in Cursed Child. Maybe she just loves destroying her characters like no-lives do in fanfiction
@@karolinakuc4783 because rowling didn't write The Cursed Child XDDD she maybe looked once or twice on the pages and add a few dialogues. Also, the book is a trash and I refuse to call it canon XD
Found out awhile ago that the first actor for Dumbledore read all the Harry Potter books so he was the most accurate representation of him while the second actor never read any of them and you can really tell based on him nearly trying to strangle Harry in that scene 😅
Not really. He's not the fucking director. The actor doesn't decide how the character acts, the director does. That's why he's the director, cause he DIRECTS all the actors. If the director didn't want him to read it that way, he'd have said "Cut, take 2."
Dumbledore 1: "Did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire Harry?" Dumbledore 2: *KICKS DOOR OPEN* *DOOM MUSIC PLAYS* "HARRYDIDYOUPUTYOURNAMEINTOTHEGOBLETOFFIRE?"
Harry is actually pretty far from being the "awkward nerd". Ok, he *is* pretty socially awkward, but in terms of school stereotypes, he's more of a jock. He's pretty athletic, he's the top player in the school's sports team, and he even ends up becoming the Wizard equivalent of a cop after graduating.
The actor of Dumbledore didn't want to replace the previous guy bc he passed away and was so good with the role (like an actual book Dumbledore) so he wanted to do his own version of him and a lot of the times it's good. Then there's "Harrydidyouputyournameinthegobetoffire?!" scenes😅
@@kdparchives3395 True that. Goblet of fire and Half-blood prince are one of the worst HP movies bc of shtty and narcissistic directors. Boils my blood.
@@Abii140 Definitely. Half-Blood Prince is my favourite book of them all, but possibly my least-favourite movie (it's fighting for that ignominious honour with Goblet and Phoenix though). Azkaban is definitely the best movie, mostly because Cuarón is by far the best director of the 4 who were involved in the series (Newell was trash, and Yates started out trash - a fact at least partially attributable to Steve Kloves not being involved in Phoenix - but after two total failures, he finally learned how to make a decent film). I was really hoping that Cuarón would stick around for a couple films. He made a couple inexplicable decisions (the Knight Bus scene and the toad choir come to mind), but by and large his cinematographic vision most closely fit with the source material. If he'd been the one to direct the design of the HP universe from Philosopher's Stone onward, I think the franchise would have a lot more re-watchability nowadays.
@@VoIcanoman Agreed. But I think Columbus did first 2 movies fairly well, especially the first one (given the fact he had limited knowledge about the HP universe bc most other books weren't even out yet), making the sets from the scratch that stayed throughout all the movies and making the vibes happy and holiday-y, so when Cuarón took over and made it darker and heavier just at the right time when sht started going down it made more of an impact when comparing it to previous 2. I do wish he continued doing the rest of the movies but I think he and JK didn't get along well so he did only one. Shame really.
I think Daniel mentioned in an interview that the producers told him and Rupert to not cut their hair after the 3rd movie. They thought they were gonna cut and style it for the fourth movie but the producer or director liked their hair like that and kept it for the film. It also goes with the characteristic that Harry’s hair is supposed to be messy, and not to mention, I’m sure most boys go through the long hair through puberty phase so it’s perfect lol
The director for this specific movie sounds like an awful choice the more you hear about his direction and how he approached the film. Like he didn't even actually read the book he was supposed to be adapting
@@alim.9801 I think Rowling sacrificed good directing for British directing. People get on her about her trans remarks but she's been blatantly anti-american her whole career
u mean blatant transphobia, right? ur not wrong btw, she seems at the very least, to have a very unsavoury personality. lots of sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong :/
Funny thing? The actors were actually the characters age. Emma (Hermione) e Daniel (Harry) were 14 when they started filming The Goblet of Fire and Ruppert (Ron) was 15. Hahaha
It’s actually pretty obvious they picked kids who were the Perfect age (10-11) waited a year for the second movie until they all grew up and kept doing the same thing until they reached the final movie
@@UvwevweveOsas1 but most of the movies have a 2 year gap between them so in the final movies they started looking more physically developed than their characters
If Cedric got burnt , drowned or strangled to death ... It would have been expected. But he was clearly murdered by a Killing Curse. That was why everyone went :O
It would be like a group of people trying to climb Everest as a televised event. But then one of the two people who actually made it to the summit came back dragging a body and saying that Hitler came back to life and shot him. Yeah, people die climbing Everest all the time, but not because a historical supervillain came back to life and killed them.
Actually in the book it was mentioned that the ministry and Dumbledore took extreme measures so there won't be any death in the tournament. that was why it was cancelled for so many years before its revival during harry's time at hogwarts. That line from Sirius Black wasn't in the book and didn't make any sense
@@nickgreu4ever I have not watched the movies in a looong time, but wasn't sirius locked up in azkaban for a few years? Maybe when he was a free man, the tournaments did have deaths. Idk tho.
I hate how dirty they did Ron. I just wanna mention the fact that he’s actually really smart when you really think about it. Like just the fact that he’s amazing at chess reveals so much about his character. It shows us that Ron is actually really skilled when it comes to tactics and recognizing patterns. Because in order to actually be good at chess, it requires a lot of focus and thinking skills as well as being able to understand the opponents motives. I know he’s made out to be stupid (with always asking for Hermione to do homework for him and give him answers for tests. As well as not always doing too well in classes), but knowing that he can play chess really well is sorta proof that his lack of being able to do work isn’t stupidity, but just laziness. I think that he would actually be good if he had put in more effort.
They also did Hermione dirty too, the only use they gave her was the Yule ball scenes, to be the preety girl. We don’t see her help Harry learn the summoning spell, the whole Rita Skeeter arc and heck even S.P.E.W. Hermione is not a boy crazy character. At least the other movies they saved her character
Honestly the movie adaptations slaughtered Ron. Ron in the books is portrayed as a more of a street smart character and Hermione is book smart.Ron always puts himself in danger to help and protect his friends and he claps back whenever it is necessary. In the books ,the trio has got their skills and their flaws BUT in Ron s situation, the movie adaptations made a clown out of him . The lines and behaviour of Ron got transferred to Hermione and Ron existed just for comic purposes.
@@kbraven7007 She can still be smart and boy-crazy and pretty. But she definitely wasn't boy-crazy in this movie. She literally just had a crush and was smitten by him. Especially since her character isn't boy-crazy. She's not used to romantic attention from other guys. She also doesn't have time for it because of saving the world and trying not to die. So seeing her enjoying herself and not being studious Hermione was fun.
yea like remember in the chamber of secrets RON was the one explaining what a mudblood is? Well in the movies,hermione explains it,because she's the smart girl and stuff.yea,they did Ron dirty for sure
Ironically Harry's hair in this movie is the closest to his book counterpart's, since in the books it's always described as messy a bit long and when Harry was little, Petunia tried to cut it a few times but it grew right back the next morning.
Harry! *Shoves Snape aside* Did ya! *Roundhouse kicks Moody* Put ya! *Uppercuts McGonagall* Name! *Crane kicks Sprout* In the! *Slams Flitwick into a wall* GOBLET OF FIYAH!!!
I heard somewhere that the actors were always told to grow their hair over the summer so that they could cut it and style it how they wanted when they started making the next movie. But then when they showed up to make Goblet of Fire the director just said "Yep that's great" and left it like that, the actors were not happy about it
I'll be completely real with you. When I was 14 I had a bit of a combination of Harry and Ron's hair. It's totally normal for angsty teens to have insanely bad hair lol.
That hair was definitely having a moment. My brother and plenty of other guys in high school had the same kind of style at the time. Zac Efron had a similar style in HSM and that came out a few months after GoF.
I think in the first Harry Potter book there's actually mention that Harry's hair always grows out of control (even right after his aunt cuts it) so. Weird 2000s fashion aside, it's technically Canon. 🙃
His aunt? Cutting his hair? What'd she use, a hack saw? That ENTIRE family fucking despises him, why would they do ANYTHING but tell him "you're fucking magical, cut it yourself" Is it related to the reason how they hate him and don't want him around so to punish him they force him to stay home around them?
@@riel4553 I don't think so. It's kind of implied that it's just one of those "wizard kids can't control their powers" things, like what he does to Marge.
As a girl who has two male best friends that I’ve known since we were kids, Ron and Harry getting the revelation that Hermione is in fact a girl now that they’re teenagers is hysterically on point 😂🤣
So. True. I remember being told by one of my guy friend’s mom in the 7th grade that I was allowed upstairs with him alone because I “don’t count as a girl” because he had known me for too long.
yeah like i have two male besties too and omg they have no idea whatsoever that i am a girl and should treat me like one atleast once in a decade or something .... like a guy friend of my friends was having trouble asking a girl out and they called me in saying that i'd understand from the perceptive of a guy and a girl and i'm like yeah thanks a$$holes
@@ashleycooperpop Really?? Omg that's brilliant. How that must've gone: Robert: "How about I jump down from this tree and then introduce myself?" Director: "... Why?" Robert: "Just 'cause." Director: "You're not playing Edward anymo--" Robert: "Please?" Director: "Fine. Whatever."
Interesting that you pointed out how watching Harry fight the dragon in the distance would be boring for the audience when the other tasks were even worse with all the action happening underwater or inside a maze.
I don't even understand why they did that in the movie. Apparently they tried to get it more interesting than it was in the book, but at least in the book Harry didn't completely forget what his task was. Instead of going back to the egg he just travelled all over the Hogwarts grounds, while skilled witches and wizards like Dumbledore, Snape, and the dragon keepers just sat there waiting for him to (maybe) come back? They never talk about the chain breaking or anything. The task was never to fight a dragon. It was to get the egg. Couldn't anyone come and stun the dragon or come to Harrys rescue? The dragon keepers were there solely for stunning the dragon if things got out of hand, but when it did, nobody lifted a finger in the movie. By tampering with what's in the book they just create more things that don't make sense.
my childhood brain always assumed they watched the action with magical spectating goggles, that somehow allow you to specate your chosen player like how you can watch other players in FPS games.
For all the jokes Alex makes about it here, the actors were ACTUALLY around 14-16 when this movie was filmed. The movie came out in 2005 and the actors for Ron, Harry, and Hermione were born in 1988, 1989, and 1990 respectively. It's weird that it's weird when characters are played by age appropriate actors.
In general, TV/Movies give a very skewed picture of what teens look like. Usually, it's due to casting "young looking" and short 20ish actors as teens because height is an easy cue for authority. Parents are always taller than their teens even though in the real world, they'd be close in height if not taller by 15. My own son was nearly 6ft by 14.
I want them to do a film adaptation of The Cursed Child specifically so that Emma Watson could reprise her role as the fourteen year old Hermione since she still looks the same as an adult.
Ngl I feel like I looked older at 14 than I do now at nearly 18, people always used to say I looked old for my age but now I get the exact opposite (and this seems to be a weirdly common experience).
I think I remember they were highly considering changing some of the kids for the later books too because they were starting to get too old or big looking or whatever.
I will never forgive the director for cutting literally the *entire* Quiddich World Cup game. And the TEASE of letting us THINK we’re about to watch it and then just CUT TO RIGHT AFTER when there was that whole thing with the twins betting on who would win and the Veela and the leprechauns like WHY WOULD YOU CUT THIS
The entire Cup was messed up. This is first and only part where they could have shown us something about the magic world outside of the UK but we get nothing. The final game? Gone. The elf winky? Gone. Harrys lost wand that was used for the death eater symbol? Gone
Yeah, even when I fucking 6 that pissed me the fuck off, and my mum who didn’t even really care about Harry Potter even asked “wait what the hell? Is that it?”
You can blame the director for everything cut from this movie. He, in fact, hated the book and thought it was too long to bother reading. He kept maybe 1/3 of the actual source material in the movie.
So the director was woke and didn't respect the source. Careful you might get called a bigot for calling the director out for not respecting the source :/
Tdh, I was so caught up with the crouch scene randomly thrown in there and not talked about when it was an important part in the books. I forgot Wenky wasn't in the movie.
@@themarsman5155 that’s what got me. Cedric dying in itself was so sudden that you don’t really have time to process it, but it was hearing Amos’s shouts afterward that made it sink in
@@ShootingStarStudioagreed. Everybody else is in shock (well, Harry’s supposedly crying, but I don’t think it sounds believable) and then Amos rushes in and screams his heart out. That still gets me every time I hear it
That was the first time my sister and I ever saw him in anything, and she fell in love with him enough to call him her "first husband". (Daniel Radcliffe was her second.) Ah, good times, good memories. We used to have some fun jokes about all that.
I love this movie but i wish they didn't completely leave out the S.P.E.W arc and the Rita skeeter arc yk, it really showed us just how smart and capable Hermione is
Honestly Hermione did NOT need any more scenes showing how great she was lol. The films chronically stole other characters high point moments and gave them to Hermione instead. In the books she’s capable but flawed, which makes her a realistic character. In the movies she’s just always perfect, which is lame.
@@MerkhVision true they made her look like some sort of God, which she wasn't. In the book she occasionally makes mistakes and that adds to the beauty of her character
I just love the fact that everybody makes a big deal about how Harry is *bound by contract* basically to compete in the Tri-wizard Turnament. Nobody mentions anything about the fact that he doesn't actually have to win it. He could just show up, pick his nose, and go "Welp, I tried." and that would technically have sufficed.
Its just one of many instances where Harry is used as bait. It happens in other movies too. Dumbledore is kind of a calculated asshole, just keeps Harry out there for grabs.
Well, if Fleur could drop out of each event, why couldn't Harry? Oh yeah, because Harry's in Gryffindor for a reason! He's not the kind of person who would back out of a game when things get too dangerous. In fact, during the Second Task, he waited around for the other Champions to save the hostages and when Fleur didn't show up, Harry rescued her sister.
@@SeanWheeler100 fleur didnt drop out she just failed,she did quite well in the first task,the 2nd was...yea that was a big flop and in the 3rd she was tortured by Krum who was controlled by Crouch jr.
Harry! *Shoves Snape aside* Did ya! *Roundhouse kicks Moody* Put ya! *Uppercuts McGonagall* Name! *Crane kicks Sprout* In the! *Slams Flitwick into a wall* GOBLET OF FIYAH!!!
9:22 the reason the actor of dumbledor at the time was so mad about Harry’s name being in the cup is because he improvised that section of the movie and he also never read the books
I specifically remember when this Harry Potter movie came out and it was the year in school where everyone had long hair. It was the trend at the time. Was really weird though.
I loved the goblet of fire book, it's mh favourite of all the series. But the movie is different. It strays away so much from the source material, you'd think it's a completely different thing. It's so bad that the director for this movie didn't even read the goblet of fire book before he made this movie. It just . . . It could have been so much better
Goblet of Fire I’d definitely when things start to get serious in the series but the movie did such a bad job of it, and that was before I even read the books
Dumbledore asking calmly was supposed to show trust. He treated Harry almost like a peer, like he would trust the answer that was given. His power was in his benign nature.
Also because Dumbledore already knew Harry didn't do it. Dumbledore cast powerful magic over the goblet to ensure under any circumstance a younger student's name could not be placed inside it. He had to be SEEN to at least ask the right questions because of the other headmaster and competitors who were all wondering those things too. He knew only advanced magic could have broken through his own enchantments; so he knew a powerful adult wizard must have. He just doesn't who could have or how.
The way you score your videos to avoid copyright infringement never ceases to impress me. The timing? Impeccable. The mood? 10/10 perfect fit. I almost can never even tell something's different, the only reason I can is that I've seen this movie a bazillion times and know every line, sound, and effect off by heart 😅
One of the only thing I remember from the books is Harry going "but they won't actually let them drown, right?". And honestly, the fact that the books address the whole "safest place on earth" as a huge lie is something i want in the movies.
I'm still convinced they should've made this book into 2 parts because there were sooo many important details they completely left out. The port key being a boot is not surprising at all lol they explain in the book that it's a spell and it could be put on any ordinary object.
For my school’s theater fall play last semester, we did Puffs, which largely focuses on this movie. It does mention a lot of plot holes you mentioned in the play and jokes about them. My favorite was where you said the students would have been watching a lot of nothing. The Puffs (since Hufflepuff was under copyright) stood at the bleachers just staring. It’s a hilarious play and some of the most fun I have ever had. It also has the “asked calmly” joke in the play
0:29 Fun fact: Goblet of Fire was a comfort book for me for years, and I did bring my hard cover copy to school very, very often. It was heavy, but the hardest part was actually holding it comfortably in my child forearm
The funny thing is the actors just let their hair grow so long because there are professional hairstylist on set and they wanted them to do their job freely and get some cool hairstyle (having a lot of hair to work with). But when they got on set and the director saw them with the ready to be cut hair he just said "No, this is perfect" and let the poor boys run around like this.
It literally was. I was also a 14/15 year old at the time and every boy at school had long scruffy hair that year. It was just the trend in 2004/5. 🤣🤷♀️
@@JustAnotherShopaholic Order of Pheonix should have been a two or three-part movies like Deathly Hallows. Trying to condense a 1000-pages book into a single 1 hour 30 minutes is a really bad idea.
The acting range of Gary oldman is crazy he’s played 30 distinct characters that look and sound nothing like each other, from Jean babptiste in 5th element to Gordon from Batman and Jackson lamb in slow horses
I can never get over how Dumbledore not only grabs Harry's shoulders as he yells at him, but pushes him hard enough against a table that you hear cups GETTING KNOCKED OVER
See what i mean??? They ruined Dumbledore! I mean- the entire movie he was yelling, screaming, pushing people so hard that they almost fell on the floor.
I always hated how "Avada Kedavera" in the films showed characters flying all over the place and the like. In the books, they just fall over. Nothing violent or glorious like in the movies. You simply (and suddenly) stop living. I find the understatement makes the curse feel a LOT creepier.
@@AustynSNi’ve been stalling on reading the books, so i didn’t know this. and i COMPLETELY agree, simply falling over and just immediately dying is so much creepier than flying five miles backwards and splatting on the floor lmao
The Drumstrag entry was absolutely cool for the time the movie came. I was in 6th grade and I clearly remember all my girlfriends, myself included, gushing over the entry, talking about it for days after watching the film. I'd still watch it again just for the memories.
Yup, it was all extremely badass at the time, I do wonder as an adult looking back if Drumstrag was supposed to represent Eastern European's style of magic? If this is the case I wonder if there's an American version of a magic school in the HP universe.
The movie version of Goblet of Fire totally streamlined the overall plot of the book which has A ALOT more moving parts to it and they totally changed Barty Crouch’s character as he is shown in the flash backs
That Dumbledore scene is a precursor for a lot of moments in the later movies. In the books, the characters speak to each other in a measured, civilized manner. Then the filmmakers get to that moment and are like, "sounds boring, let's just have them yell at each other."
I always called this one "Harry Potter and the year no one got a haircut" Also can we mention how messed up it kinda is that the movie decided not to add mentioning that in the second task the four victims weren't in any real danger and just left it at "nah if you don't save them they'll drown"
Though the movie did a lot of characters and scenes dirty, I will admit that the, _"Harry, did you put your name in the goblet of fire?!?"_ is pretty iconic at this point
Regarding the hair, the short answer is: because it was filmed in 2004/5 and long hair for boys was super in fashion at the time (at least in the UK). I was a 15 year old girl at the time and I remember every boy at school suddenly having insanely messy long hair that year. It predated the film - I don’t know where the trend actually came from.
But why did they suddenly deem it possible to hold the tournament again? Is this another thing where Dumbledore just wanted to find out what would happen, i.e. if Voldemort would try something?
@@leparraindufromage366 the book doesn’t really cover that but I doubt dumbledore would be the only voice on the matter since it literally involves 2 other countries all we know for sure is the age rule was not in place before
@@leparraindufromage366 What's the betting Dumbledore was trying to petition it back for years, thinking, "My students aren't nearly in enough danger under my administration, so let's bring back the wizard equivalent of gladiator matches". For years, the loudest protestor against the Tri-Wizard Tournament happening was Prof McGonagall, arguing that it would be inhumane to the other competing schools, as well as any monsters involved, to go up against James Potter and his fellow Marauders. The other schools agreed, and lived in fear for years from the tales McGonagall sent around Europe of Hogwarts' Marauders (to this day, Durmstrang students are told horror stories of the Marauders as punishment for bad grades, some exaggerated, some terrifyingly true). Only after they were certain that James was dead, Sirius was on the lamb, Pettigrew believed to be dead, Remus had just quit at Hogwarts, and promised that James' son was deemed too young to compete, did they agree to have it again, only to be bamboozled by James' son illegally competing thanks to interference with help from Peter Pettigrew's boss.
The biggest miss in this movie was the twins starting their joke shop and Ludo Bagman. Wish the do the entire series over into a tv show that stays true to the source material
@@misshollis7547 the core story and what happens in book five is very centered, while goblet of fire is all over the place. the fifth movie, imo is the most accurate.
I appreciate how you point out how much of the magic in the wizard world is so unpractical, like, for a world where literal magic exists, they really put effort in complicating things
I like to think that magic complicates itself, like at first it's simple and straightforward, but it has a mind of its own and gets influenced by other things.
6:51 In the book Beaxbutons and Durmstrang had both male and female students so I don't get why in the films Beaxbutons is an all girls school and Durmstrang is an all boys school.
This man’s comedic timing is great😂I found this page almost a week now and I’ve been binge watching (like 15 videos a day) best thing ever Im sorry cinemasins🤧
Btw, in Scotland the scene with Ron having to dance with McGonagall actually happens in real life, in schools at around Christmas time. Every few years, students have to be taught ceilidh dancing and it is so embarrassing (unless everyone in the class decides to just laugh it off, which is thankfully how things went in my class sometimes).
5:00 Experienced wizards can "apparate" anywhere they want, which is pretty much instant teleportation. But all the kids in this movie haven't learned how to apparate yet. We'll see them apparating in the 7th movie.
So fun fact, in germany we have a really popular synrcho of the first two movies and some part of the fourth. It came out like when youtube started existing, and its called " Harry Potter und ein Stein [ Harry Potter and a stone )Its a lot of childisch Humor but as a kid i and all my friends just loved it. Coldmirror, the women who created this masterpiece also wrote and rapped a lot of Songs because in the synrcho Dumbeldore is a rapper Namen fresh D, she even put out albums. Today she has a Podcast called "5 Minuten Harry Potter" where she analysizes and talks about every freaking litte detail ( like every picture hung in hogwarts that you can see )and every story behind it, like the whole movie divided in 5 Mins each episode. And one Episode is often like an hour and a half. Its epic, coldmirror is such a talented, wonderful Person, the Podcast dont even come out regulary ( like 2-3 per year) but always one on Christmas eve. Her voice, her way of talking, her Humor, its like even in her comment section there isnt one percent hate. Its all love for what she is doing, because she is just like the mother of all german TH-camrs, she was one of the first, she shaped a whole Generation, and she is humble to the bottom. She doenst take money from what she is doing, she didnt moneterasize TH-cam. She is doing it because she loves it and a specific Generation in germany just loves her for it. And i just wanted to spread that love, in other countries as well. Coldmirror, or Kaddi ( her real name), deserves that. And if you are learning german, bc of whatever reason, i can just recommend the Harry Potter Podcasts. It just pur love!
4:20 According to the book, the reason the portkey is such a random object is to make it seem less valuable to muggles and other wizards so they won’t take it. Don’t remember if this was explained in the movie, I haven’t watched it in a while.
US Marines are made to pick up trash, so imagine one of those guys getting port-keyed into a wizarding social event. They keep trying to hit him with the memory charm but he keeps dodging spells like he's been trained to dodge enemy fire.
@@MegaKnight2012 This amuses me and is somewhat in the same spirit of my contemplation of "what if Bruce Wayne got the elder wand." (I mean, seriously, how does the wizarding world deal with competent and capable muggles?)
Honestly, after watching interviews with the director Mike Newell and hearing him complain about how long the book was and hearing he refused to watch the other movies, I can't say I'm surprised this movie turned out the way it did. Makes me sad thinking about what could have been, had they hired another director
Wow why would they hire a director who didn't bother to look at the source material or even the previous movies? Such a corporate move. And honestly, I never physically read the books, but listened to the audiobooks. He could have done that easily.
_Goblet of Fire_ literally wraps up issues in the dead center of the book, and literally could have had a single page saying Part Two... The movie should have been the first two part movie...
Interesting thing about that. I remember back when the Goblet of Fire movie was still in early development, and the production team made statements that they were very seriously considering either making one very long film with an intermission, or splitting the movie into two parts, as you said. Movies split into multiple parts were practically unheard of in the main stream at the time. I agree, GoF had far more justification to be split than DH, and it should have been done.
There was so many plot lines cut, it really needed to be two movies. The whole book was dropping hints about the plan to kidnap Harry and it created a lot of tension. It pretty much boils down to how they handled the quidditch world cup. It set up so many events and plot lines that things had to be written to adjust. Pretty sure they don't find Barty Crouch Sr's body, it's tranfigured into a bone and buried by his son,who by the way, is completely fucking destroyed in the movie. So many characters are poorly written or missing completely. Not having the Rita Skeeter reveal, the Veela transformation, Dobby and Winky which leads to S.P.E.W. God I love and hate this movie. It could have been so much more than what we got.
I love how the dragon - who takes like 30 seconds in the book - is made this huge thing in the movie while they just literally removed everything cool from the labyrinth and just made it a big gardener task without allowing hedge trimmers
Probably because the movies started to make them seem a lot closer, like yes they are all friends but Ron and Harry are definitely closer, I feel like as the movies went on they messed up showing Harry and Ron’s friendship more and more. Like Harry and Ron think more alike and agree with each other more. Plus when Harry falls out with Ron he’s miserable and can’t stop thinking about Ron and missing being around him but every time he falls out with Hermione he doesn’t really seem that bothered about it
There’s actually a reason their hair is so crazy! Usually when actors come to a movie, they’ll grow out their hair for a while so the stylists can cut and shape their hair how they want. There was a new director/ the director decided he just liked how they had their long hair and decided to keep it how it was. The actors were apparently horrified but went along with it haha
@Alex-Meyers's-comment/post that starts-from timestamp-5:47 to timestamp-5:55 : Another way that Harry and Tom Riddle Jr. (ie. Voldemort) are connected is that they are distantly-related; each one is descendant of one of the 3 Peverell brothers. Voldemort is descendant of the Peverell brother that had the Elder wand; Harry is descendant of the Peverell brother that had the Cloak-of-Invisibility. P.S. i also find it f*cking-ironic that Bellatrix Lestrange (and other Death-Eaters) call him "filthy half-blood" and hold prejudice against him, when actually Voldemort is actually the one that has a non-magic parent (his biological father) and a magic parent (his biological mother), while Harry's parents (*both* his biological parents) can perform-and/or-do-and-or-use-and/or-utilize-and/or-weild Magic.

I think its funny how Alex always hates on the hair in the potter movies.. and i actually like them way better ... malfoys hair in 1 and 2 is really awful, he really blooms in the 3rd. And Harrys Hair in the 4th is waaaay better than the short in 5...
The reason why everyone has ABSURD hair is actually an accident. Goblet of fire had a different director and he didn’t know their hair was left to grow to be cut into the characters ‘ signature styles’, so he just kept them how they were, and i’m so glad he did because ICONIC!
12:21 Uh, no. Harry is not a nerd. He’s closer to a jock. He may have the glasses fitting a nerd stereotype and was forced to live under stairs for years, but he is never, not even in the films, portrayed as a nerd. His literal passion at this point is flying/Quidditch (like a jock, he is all about at least one sport), he only later goes the Auror route. Also, he was only the best at one subject, DADA. It’s actually Hermione who is the “nerd” of the group, in fact she is a great example of an “intellectual badass.”
10:47 - The only thing I can think about during this scene is that if McGonagall has to teach the Gryffindors how to dance, then Snape has to teach the Slytherins. "Mr. Malfoy, place, your hand, on, meh, waist." Malfoy hesitates. "I said, place your hand, on, meh, waist." 🤣😂🤣
Snape doesn't actually dance, so it's best that he used imperious curse to the students to teach them how to dance XD, nah just joking I think Snape is really creative and project a slide show on how to Dance because that's how he teach... (kinda feel sad in Hogwarts mystery Snape looks so miserable... But if I'm a student their I would invent a illustration of a person from ones memory and mimics them but it's only limited use for how long the person can concentrate so that Snape could hypothetically dance with Lilly...)

Hello ♉️ 🙃
Believe it or not, Harry's hair is one of the few things that DID come from the book
I made fun of the way all the boys hair is in the fourth movie, but then I got to age 14 and… yeah that actually happens. Every boy just decided that they wanted 60s, 70s, 80s, and 00s hair combined into one horrific mess.
I quite disliked the long mullets on the cast. I’d heard that was a trend at the time, but I thought the style was ugly. 🤷🏻♀️ And I like long hair on guys as well as short. 🤪
Harry’s hair in Prisoner was PERFECT.
And then we have THIS, which is fine I guess.
Order of the Phoenix was BULLSHIT with hair.
@@JamesCPotter13 Looking like the casual lego hairpiece (Order of the Phoenix one)
That true
My favourite part of this is how Robert Pattinson stated in an interview that he'd gladly play Cedric again rather than Cullen

“My boy!!!” 😭😭😭
Found out awhile ago that the first actor for Dumbledore read all the Harry Potter books so he was the most accurate representation of him while the second actor never read any of them and you can really tell based on him nearly trying to strangle Harry in that scene 😅
well that explains a lot lol
Not really.
He's not the fucking director.
The actor doesn't decide how the character acts, the director does. That's why he's the director, cause he DIRECTS all the actors. If the director didn't want him to read it that way, he'd have said "Cut, take 2."
Dumbledore 1:
"Did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire Harry?"
Dumbledore 2:
*KICKS DOOR OPEN*
*DOOM MUSIC PLAYS*
"HARRYDIDYOUPUTYOURNAMEINTOTHEGOBLETOFFIRE?"
@@WxB2001 ok that was funny
@@haku8135 Yes but from what I understand, actors are mostly allowed to make their characters their own meaning add their own tastes
Harry is actually pretty far from being the "awkward nerd". Ok, he *is* pretty socially awkward, but in terms of school stereotypes, he's more of a jock. He's pretty athletic, he's the top player in the school's sports team, and he even ends up becoming the Wizard equivalent of a cop after graduating.
They call anybody that wear glasses a nerd
Also save for DADA his grades were pretty mid
technically he didn't officially graduate
And a bunch of girls ask HIM to thr ball.
Nah,he became an Auror which is the equivalent of a SWAT team member(and later leader) regular "cops" would be the "magical law enforcement patrol"
The actor of Dumbledore didn't want to replace the previous guy bc he passed away and was so good with the role (like an actual book Dumbledore) so he wanted to do his own version of him and a lot of the times it's good. Then there's "Harrydidyouputyournameinthegobetoffire?!" scenes😅
I blame that infamous moment more on the director for not even properly reading the book he was adapting into film
@@kdparchives3395 although the actors work with the screenwriters piece so maybe he changed the intensity.
@@kdparchives3395 True that. Goblet of fire and Half-blood prince are one of the worst HP movies bc of shtty and narcissistic directors. Boils my blood.
@@Abii140 Definitely. Half-Blood Prince is my favourite book of them all, but possibly my least-favourite movie (it's fighting for that ignominious honour with Goblet and Phoenix though). Azkaban is definitely the best movie, mostly because Cuarón is by far the best director of the 4 who were involved in the series (Newell was trash, and Yates started out trash - a fact at least partially attributable to Steve Kloves not being involved in Phoenix - but after two total failures, he finally learned how to make a decent film). I was really hoping that Cuarón would stick around for a couple films. He made a couple inexplicable decisions (the Knight Bus scene and the toad choir come to mind), but by and large his cinematographic vision most closely fit with the source material. If he'd been the one to direct the design of the HP universe from Philosopher's Stone onward, I think the franchise would have a lot more re-watchability nowadays.
@@VoIcanoman Agreed. But I think Columbus did first 2 movies fairly well, especially the first one (given the fact he had limited knowledge about the HP universe bc most other books weren't even out yet), making the sets from the scratch that stayed throughout all the movies and making the vibes happy and holiday-y, so when Cuarón took over and made it darker and heavier just at the right time when sht started going down it made more of an impact when comparing it to previous 2. I do wish he continued doing the rest of the movies but I think he and JK didn't get along well so he did only one. Shame really.
I think Daniel mentioned in an interview that the producers told him and Rupert to not cut their hair after the 3rd movie. They thought they were gonna cut and style it for the fourth movie but the producer or director liked their hair like that and kept it for the film.
It also goes with the characteristic that Harry’s hair is supposed to be messy, and not to mention, I’m sure most boys go through the long hair through puberty phase so it’s perfect lol
That happened with all the male cast members
The director for this specific movie sounds like an awful choice the more you hear about his direction and how he approached the film. Like he didn't even actually read the book he was supposed to be adapting
@@alim.9801 I think Rowling sacrificed good directing for British directing. People get on her about her trans remarks but she's been blatantly anti-american her whole career
u mean blatant transphobia, right? ur not wrong btw, she seems at the very least, to have a very unsavoury personality. lots of sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong :/
And do you have any actual proof of her anti Americaness or you just pulling things out of nowhere
Funny thing? The actors were actually the characters age. Emma (Hermione) e Daniel (Harry) were 14 when they started filming The Goblet of Fire and Ruppert (Ron) was 15. Hahaha
That’s what I kept thinking lol
It’s actually pretty obvious they picked kids who were the Perfect age (10-11) waited a year for the second movie until they all grew up and kept doing the same thing until they reached the final movie
@@UvwevweveOsas1 but most of the movies have a 2 year gap between them so in the final movies they started looking more physically developed than their characters
@@simioncristian7799 huh….well that doesn’t change THAT Much
I'm just happy they cast children and not 30 year olds
Everyone: "People DIE in this tournament!!!!"
Cedric: *Dies in the tournament*
Everyone: :O
If Cedric got burnt , drowned or strangled to death ... It would have been expected. But he was clearly murdered by a Killing Curse. That was why everyone went :O
Also it would kind of messed up if nobody cares that Cedric had died.
Like they're not gonna say, well whatever, alright kids see you next class 👋.
It would be like a group of people trying to climb Everest as a televised event. But then one of the two people who actually made it to the summit came back dragging a body and saying that Hitler came back to life and shot him. Yeah, people die climbing Everest all the time, but not because a historical supervillain came back to life and killed them.
Actually in the book it was mentioned that the ministry and Dumbledore took extreme measures so there won't be any death in the tournament. that was why it was cancelled for so many years before its revival during harry's time at hogwarts. That line from Sirius Black wasn't in the book and didn't make any sense
@@nickgreu4ever I have not watched the movies in a looong time, but wasn't sirius locked up in azkaban for a few years? Maybe when he was a free man, the tournaments did have deaths. Idk tho.
I hate how dirty they did Ron. I just wanna mention the fact that he’s actually really smart when you really think about it. Like just the fact that he’s amazing at chess reveals so much about his character. It shows us that Ron is actually really skilled when it comes to tactics and recognizing patterns. Because in order to actually be good at chess, it requires a lot of focus and thinking skills as well as being able to understand the opponents motives. I know he’s made out to be stupid (with always asking for Hermione to do homework for him and give him answers for tests. As well as not always doing too well in classes), but knowing that he can play chess really well is sorta proof that his lack of being able to do work isn’t stupidity, but just laziness. I think that he would actually be good if he had put in more effort.
They also did Hermione dirty too, the only use they gave her was the Yule ball scenes, to be the preety girl. We don’t see her help Harry learn the summoning spell, the whole Rita Skeeter arc and heck even S.P.E.W. Hermione is not a boy crazy character. At least the other movies they saved her character
Honestly the movie adaptations slaughtered Ron. Ron in the books is portrayed as a more of a street smart character and Hermione is book smart.Ron always puts himself in danger to help and protect his friends and he claps back whenever it is necessary. In the books ,the trio has got their skills and their flaws BUT in Ron s situation, the movie adaptations made a clown out of him . The lines and behaviour of Ron got transferred to Hermione and Ron existed just for comic purposes.
@@kbraven7007 She can still be smart and boy-crazy and pretty. But she definitely wasn't boy-crazy in this movie. She literally just had a crush and was smitten by him. Especially since her character isn't boy-crazy. She's not used to romantic attention from other guys. She also doesn't have time for it because of saving the world and trying not to die. So seeing her enjoying herself and not being studious Hermione was fun.
I've always *always* LOVED Ron. Favourite character through and through.
yea like remember in the chamber of secrets RON was the one explaining what a mudblood is? Well in the movies,hermione explains it,because she's the smart girl and stuff.yea,they did Ron dirty for sure
Ironically Harry's hair in this movie is the closest to his book counterpart's, since in the books it's always described as messy a bit long and when Harry was little, Petunia tried to cut it a few times but it grew right back the next morning.
Totally forgot about that detail!
Ikr
I actually love his hair here.
nah the prisoner of azkaban was the accurate one
Harry! *Shoves Snape aside* Did ya! *Roundhouse kicks Moody* Put ya! *Uppercuts McGonagall* Name! *Crane kicks Sprout* In the! *Slams Flitwick into a wall* GOBLET OF FIYAH!!!

Thank you, I just died 😆
The comic version of this comment always makes me laugh out loud
omg someone please animate that 😂
You captured the essence of that scene PERFECTLY
I heard somewhere that the actors were always told to grow their hair over the summer so that they could cut it and style it how they wanted when they started making the next movie. But then when they showed up to make Goblet of Fire the director just said "Yep that's great" and left it like that, the actors were not happy about it
I'll be completely real with you. When I was 14 I had a bit of a combination of Harry and Ron's hair. It's totally normal for angsty teens to have insanely bad hair lol.
lol
But all of them at the school at the same time?
@@sergarlantyrell7847 yeah, it was very long but also kind of lifted off the head.
to be honest I remember around the time that movie came out the long hair trend was really popular in my school
That hair was definitely having a moment. My brother and plenty of other guys in high school had the same kind of style at the time. Zac Efron had a similar style in HSM and that came out a few months after GoF.
I think in the first Harry Potter book there's actually mention that Harry's hair always grows out of control (even right after his aunt cuts it) so. Weird 2000s fashion aside, it's technically Canon. 🙃
His aunt?
Cutting his hair?
What'd she use, a hack saw?
That ENTIRE family fucking despises him, why would they do ANYTHING but tell him "you're fucking magical, cut it yourself"
Is it related to the reason how they hate him and don't want him around so to punish him they force him to stay home around them?
Was it ever confirmed if it was some weird hereditary magic? Because James Potter actually wanted to look like that.
@@riel4553 I don't think so. It's kind of implied that it's just one of those "wizard kids can't control their powers" things, like what he does to Marge.
I don't think its his hair growing, just that it doesn't lie flat.
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley No, there's a bit where specifically where his aunt cut his hair, but by the morning it had grown back again.
As a girl who has two male best friends that I’ve known since we were kids, Ron and Harry getting the revelation that Hermione is in fact a girl now that they’re teenagers is hysterically on point 😂🤣

Interesting that you pointed out how watching Harry fight the dragon in the distance would be boring for the audience when the other tasks were even worse with all the action happening underwater or inside a maze.
I don't even understand why they did that in the movie. Apparently they tried to get it more interesting than it was in the book, but at least in the book Harry didn't completely forget what his task was. Instead of going back to the egg he just travelled all over the Hogwarts grounds, while skilled witches and wizards like Dumbledore, Snape, and the dragon keepers just sat there waiting for him to (maybe) come back? They never talk about the chain breaking or anything. The task was never to fight a dragon. It was to get the egg. Couldn't anyone come and stun the dragon or come to Harrys rescue? The dragon keepers were there solely for stunning the dragon if things got out of hand, but when it did, nobody lifted a finger in the movie. By tampering with what's in the book they just create more things that don't make sense.
my childhood brain always assumed they watched the action with magical spectating goggles, that somehow allow you to specate your chosen player like how you can watch other players in FPS games.
For all the jokes Alex makes about it here, the actors were ACTUALLY around 14-16 when this movie was filmed. The movie came out in 2005 and the actors for Ron, Harry, and Hermione were born in 1988, 1989, and 1990 respectively. It's weird that it's weird when characters are played by age appropriate actors.
In general, TV/Movies give a very skewed picture of what teens look like. Usually, it's due to casting "young looking" and short 20ish actors as teens because height is an easy cue for authority. Parents are always taller than their teens even though in the real world, they'd be close in height if not taller by 15. My own son was nearly 6ft by 14.
I want them to do a film adaptation of The Cursed Child specifically so that Emma Watson could reprise her role as the fourteen year old Hermione since she still looks the same as an adult.
Ngl I feel like I looked older at 14 than I do now at nearly 18, people always used to say I looked old for my age but now I get the exact opposite (and this seems to be a weirdly common experience).
I bet I can get a movie franchise with the characters still being fourteen after a decade!
I think I remember they were highly considering changing some of the kids for the later books too because they were starting to get too old or big looking or whatever.
I will never forgive the director for cutting literally the *entire* Quiddich World Cup game. And the TEASE of letting us THINK we’re about to watch it and then just CUT TO RIGHT AFTER when there was that whole thing with the twins betting on who would win and the Veela and the leprechauns like WHY WOULD YOU CUT THIS
That was the bit with Ludo Bagman, and also explanation as to where the twins got the money for their business right?
I remember seeing the movie at the cinema and I WAS SO MAD THEY DID THIS! I had been looking forward to seeing the match on the big screen. Dammit!
The entire Cup was messed up. This is first and only part where they could have shown us something about the magic world outside of the UK but we get nothing. The final game? Gone. The elf winky? Gone. Harrys lost wand that was used for the death eater symbol? Gone
Also, apparently the Irish won, even going up against Viktor Krum so that made no sense!
Yeah, even when I fucking 6 that pissed me the fuck off, and my mum who didn’t even really care about Harry Potter even asked “wait what the hell? Is that it?”
You can blame the director for everything cut from this movie. He, in fact, hated the book and thought it was too long to bother reading. He kept maybe 1/3 of the actual source material in the movie.
Was this the same director who always favored Hermine and made the already dumb Ron even dumber in the Movies?
@@mlem6951 Ron is not dumb but yeah movies nerfed him and made Hermione Mary Sueish
So the director was woke and didn't respect the source. Careful you might get called a bigot for calling the director out for not respecting the source :/
Doesn't sound like a very good director
That’s was my fave book as well 😭
The ONE thing I never forgive the movie producers for, is NOT letting us be introduced to Winky. Who’s such a important character
RIGHT??? they replaced her ENTIRELY with other characters, and for what
Tdh, I was so caught up with the crouch scene randomly thrown in there and not talked about when it was an important part in the books. I forgot Wenky wasn't in the movie.

Honestly Hermione did NOT need any more scenes showing how great she was lol. The films chronically stole other characters high point moments and gave them to Hermione instead.

@kudha yh i've heard about it too lmao with Rick actually taking part in it i have hopes
Dumbledore asking calmly was supposed to show trust. He treated Harry almost like a peer, like he would trust the answer that was given. His power was in his benign nature.
Also because Dumbledore already knew Harry didn't do it. Dumbledore cast powerful magic over the goblet to ensure under any circumstance a younger student's name could not be placed inside it. He had to be SEEN to at least ask the right questions because of the other headmaster and competitors who were all wondering those things too.
He knew only advanced magic could have broken through his own enchantments; so he knew a powerful adult wizard must have. He just doesn't who could have or how.
The way you score your videos to avoid copyright infringement never ceases to impress me. The timing? Impeccable. The mood? 10/10 perfect fit. I almost can never even tell something's different, the only reason I can is that I've seen this movie a bazillion times and know every line, sound, and effect off by heart 😅
One of the only thing I remember from the books is Harry going "but they won't actually let them drown, right?". And honestly, the fact that the books address the whole "safest place on earth" as a huge lie is something i want in the movies.
I'm still convinced they should've made this book into 2 parts because there were sooo many important details they completely left out. The port key being a boot is not surprising at all lol they explain in the book that it's a spell and it could be put on any ordinary object.
Literally, cuz they left out a whole ass character that was actually important 😂😂
This series is the only YA series that warrants movies split into two parts imo
For my school’s theater fall play last semester, we did Puffs, which largely focuses on this movie. It does mention a lot of plot holes you mentioned in the play and jokes about them. My favorite was where you said the students would have been watching a lot of nothing. The Puffs (since Hufflepuff was under copyright) stood at the bleachers just staring. It’s a hilarious play and some of the most fun I have ever had. It also has the “asked calmly” joke in the play
Is this a play you guys wrote or did it already exist?? Bc this sounds awesome and I wanna read it. Especially being a hufflepuff myself lol
0:29 Fun fact: Goblet of Fire was a comfort book for me for years, and I did bring my hard cover copy to school very, very often. It was heavy, but the hardest part was actually holding it comfortably in my child forearm
Considering the fact that all the guys kinda had that long, scruffy hairstyle, I thought it was just the style of the year or whatever
The funny thing is the actors just let their hair grow so long because there are professional hairstylist on set and they wanted them to do their job freely and get some cool hairstyle (having a lot of hair to work with). But when they got on set and the director saw them with the ready to be cut hair he just said "No, this is perfect" and let the poor boys run around like this.
It literally was. I was also a 14/15 year old at the time and every boy at school had long scruffy hair that year. It was just the trend in 2004/5. 🤣🤷♀️

See what i mean??? They ruined Dumbledore! I mean- the entire movie he was yelling, screaming, pushing people so hard that they almost fell on the floor.
I have to admit the death of Cedric was so quick in the movie but in the book it was so much worse
And it's done the best in the Star Kid musical 😊👍
I always hated how "Avada Kedavera" in the films showed characters flying all over the place and the like. In the books, they just fall over. Nothing violent or glorious like in the movies. You simply (and suddenly) stop living. I find the understatement makes the curse feel a LOT creepier.

The Drumstrag entry was absolutely cool for the time the movie came. I was in 6th grade and I clearly remember all my girlfriends, myself included, gushing over the entry, talking about it for days after watching the film. I'd still watch it again just for the memories.
Yup, it was all extremely badass at the time, I do wonder as an adult looking back if Drumstrag was supposed to represent Eastern European's style of magic? If this is the case I wonder if there's an American version of a magic school in the HP universe.

3:48 Nah Steve’s hair is way worse he’s growing a whole forest up there
That Dumbledore scene is a precursor for a lot of moments in the later movies. In the books, the characters speak to each other in a measured, civilized manner. Then the filmmakers get to that moment and are like, "sounds boring, let's just have them yell at each other."

they may have really watered things down, but damn did they do fantastic with Dumbledore and Voldemort's duel
I always called this one "Harry Potter and the year no one got a haircut"
Also can we mention how messed up it kinda is that the movie decided not to add mentioning that in the second task the four victims weren't in any real danger and just left it at "nah if you don't save them they'll drown"
After Wormtail escaped at the end of "Prisoner of Azkaban," he killed all the barbers in the UK before he went to find Voldemort.
Though the movie did a lot of characters and scenes dirty, I will admit that the, _"Harry, did you put your name in the goblet of fire?!?"_ is pretty iconic at this point
This is a wizard, teen, school, tournament movie that's mid 2000s as hell. I can't get this kind of movie anywhere else. It's glorious

Regarding the hair, the short answer is: because it was filmed in 2004/5 and long hair for boys was super in fashion at the time (at least in the UK). I was a 15 year old girl at the time and I remember every boy at school suddenly having insanely messy long hair that year. It predated the film - I don’t know where the trend actually came from.
The reason the tri wizard tournament hadn’t been mentioned before it cause it was banned for years
But why did they suddenly deem it possible to hold the tournament again? Is this another thing where Dumbledore just wanted to find out what would happen, i.e. if Voldemort would try something?
@@leparraindufromage366 the book doesn’t really cover that but I doubt dumbledore would be the only voice on the matter since it literally involves 2 other countries all we know for sure is the age rule was not in place before
@@leparraindufromage366 What's the betting Dumbledore was trying to petition it back for years, thinking, "My students aren't nearly in enough danger under my administration, so let's bring back the wizard equivalent of gladiator matches". For years, the loudest protestor against the Tri-Wizard Tournament happening was Prof McGonagall, arguing that it would be inhumane to the other competing schools, as well as any monsters involved, to go up against James Potter and his fellow Marauders. The other schools agreed, and lived in fear for years from the tales McGonagall sent around Europe of Hogwarts' Marauders (to this day, Durmstrang students are told horror stories of the Marauders as punishment for bad grades, some exaggerated, some terrifyingly true). Only after they were certain that James was dead, Sirius was on the lamb, Pettigrew believed to be dead, Remus had just quit at Hogwarts, and promised that James' son was deemed too young to compete, did they agree to have it again, only to be bamboozled by James' son illegally competing thanks to interference with help from Peter Pettigrew's boss.

I appreciate how you point out how much of the magic in the wizard world is so unpractical, like, for a world where literal magic exists, they really put effort in complicating things
I like to think that magic complicates itself, like at first it's simple and straightforward, but it has a mind of its own and gets influenced by other things.
6:51 In the book Beaxbutons and Durmstrang had both male and female students so I don't get why in the films Beaxbutons is an all girls school and Durmstrang is an all boys school.

Btw, in Scotland the scene with Ron having to dance with McGonagall actually happens in real life, in schools at around Christmas time. Every few years, students have to be taught ceilidh dancing and it is so embarrassing (unless everyone in the class decides to just laugh it off, which is thankfully how things went in my class sometimes).
5:00 Experienced wizards can "apparate" anywhere they want, which is pretty much instant teleportation. But all the kids in this movie haven't learned how to apparate yet. We'll see them apparating in the 7th movie.
I wish they would have included learning to Apparate in OotP
So fun fact, in germany we have a really popular synrcho of the first two movies and some part of the fourth. It came out like when youtube started existing, and its called " Harry Potter und ein Stein [ Harry Potter and a stone )Its a lot of childisch Humor but as a kid i and all my friends just loved it. Coldmirror, the women who created this masterpiece also wrote and rapped a lot of Songs because in the synrcho Dumbeldore is a rapper Namen fresh D, she even put out albums. Today she has a Podcast called "5 Minuten Harry Potter" where she analysizes and talks about every freaking litte detail ( like every picture hung in hogwarts that you can see )and every story behind it, like the whole movie divided in 5 Mins each episode. And one Episode is often like an hour and a half. Its epic, coldmirror is such a talented, wonderful Person, the Podcast dont even come out regulary ( like 2-3 per year) but always one on Christmas eve. Her voice, her way of talking, her Humor, its like even in her comment section there isnt one percent hate. Its all love for what she is doing, because she is just like the mother of all german TH-camrs, she was one of the first, she shaped a whole Generation, and she is humble to the bottom. She doenst take money from what she is doing, she didnt moneterasize TH-cam. She is doing it because she loves it and a specific Generation in germany just loves her for it. And i just wanted to spread that love, in other countries as well. Coldmirror, or Kaddi ( her real name), deserves that. And if you are learning german, bc of whatever reason, i can just recommend the Harry Potter Podcasts. It just pur love!

According to the book, the reason the portkey is such a random object is to make it seem less valuable to muggles and other wizards so they won’t take it. Don’t remember if this was explained in the movie, I haven’t watched it in a while.

Honestly, after watching interviews with the director Mike Newell and hearing him complain about how long the book was and hearing he refused to watch the other movies, I can't say I'm surprised this movie turned out the way it did. Makes me sad thinking about what could have been, had they hired another director
Wow why would they hire a director who didn't bother to look at the source material or even the previous movies? Such a corporate move. And honestly, I never physically read the books, but listened to the audiobooks. He could have done that easily.
_Goblet of Fire_ literally wraps up issues in the dead center of the book, and literally could have had a single page saying Part Two...
The movie should have been the first two part movie...
Interesting thing about that. I remember back when the Goblet of Fire movie was still in early development, and the production team made statements that they were very seriously considering either making one very long film with an intermission, or splitting the movie into two parts, as you said. Movies split into multiple parts were practically unheard of in the main stream at the time. I agree, GoF had far more justification to be split than DH, and it should have been done.
GoF was fucking cancer. One of the worst movie adaptions I've ever seen
There was so many plot lines cut, it really needed to be two movies. The whole book was dropping hints about the plan to kidnap Harry and it created a lot of tension.
It pretty much boils down to how they handled the quidditch world cup. It set up so many events and plot lines that things had to be written to adjust. Pretty sure they don't find Barty Crouch Sr's body, it's tranfigured into a bone and buried by his son,who by the way, is completely fucking destroyed in the movie.
So many characters are poorly written or missing completely. Not having the Rita Skeeter reveal, the Veela transformation, Dobby and Winky which leads to S.P.E.W.
God I love and hate this movie. It could have been so much more than what we got.
Goblet of Fire brings back good memories. It was the first Harry Potter film I saw in theaters.

Believe it or not, Daniel actually had 15 when shooting this movie. Rupert had 16, Emma 14, and Tom 17. It was filmed in 2004
So funny because Rupert Grint was 15-16 while filming goblet of fire. Lol
13:25 I’ve always loved the scenes when it’s just Harry and Hermione. Honestly they have the best chemistry of any couple in the whole series
In the movies, maybe.
Probably because the movies started to make them seem a lot closer, like yes they are all friends but Ron and Harry are definitely closer, I feel like as the movies went on they messed up showing Harry and Ron’s friendship more and more. Like Harry and Ron think more alike and agree with each other more. Plus when Harry falls out with Ron he’s miserable and can’t stop thinking about Ron and missing being around him but every time he falls out with Hermione he doesn’t really seem that bothered about it
Completely agree.
Harry Potter rule 1:NEVER say "Harry should have ended up with Hermione."
There’s actually a reason their hair is so crazy!
Usually when actors come to a movie, they’ll grow out their hair for a while so the stylists can cut and shape their hair how they want. There was a new director/ the director decided he just liked how they had their long hair and decided to keep it how it was.
The actors were apparently horrified but went along with it haha
The Voldermot magazine covers took me allllll the way out 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@Alex-Meyers's-comment/post that starts-from timestamp-5:47 to timestamp-5:55 :
Another way that Harry and Tom Riddle Jr. (ie. Voldemort) are connected is that they are distantly-related; each one is descendant of one of the 3 Peverell brothers. Voldemort is descendant of the Peverell brother that had the Elder wand; Harry is descendant of the Peverell brother that had the Cloak-of-Invisibility.
P.S. i also find it f*cking-ironic that Bellatrix Lestrange (and other Death-Eaters) call him "filthy half-blood" and hold prejudice against him, when actually Voldemort is actually the one that has a non-magic parent (his biological father) and a magic parent (his biological mother), while Harry's parents (*both* his biological parents) can perform-and/or-do-and-or-use-and/or-utilize-and/or-weild Magic.

4th? For me it's 3rd. given that it's his almost accurate hair look.
The reason why everyone has ABSURD hair is actually an accident. Goblet of fire had a different director and he didn’t know their hair was left to grow to be cut into the characters ‘ signature styles’, so he just kept them how they were, and i’m so glad he did because ICONIC!
12:21 Uh, no. Harry is not a nerd. He’s closer to a jock. He may have the glasses fitting a nerd stereotype and was forced to live under stairs for years, but he is never, not even in the films, portrayed as a nerd. His literal passion at this point is flying/Quidditch (like a jock, he is all about at least one sport), he only later goes the Auror route. Also, he was only the best at one subject, DADA. It’s actually Hermione who is the “nerd” of the group, in fact she is a great example of an “intellectual badass.”
I can tell if someone is a book fan or not by how they react to Barry crouch Jr appearing in the first scene
10:47 - The only thing I can think about during this scene is that if McGonagall has to teach the Gryffindors how to dance, then Snape has to teach the Slytherins. "Mr. Malfoy, place, your hand, on, meh, waist." Malfoy hesitates. "I said, place your hand, on, meh, waist." 🤣😂🤣
It's gets better, flitwick is the head of ravenclaw, imagine him trying to teach them to dance 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Poor tiny Flitwick.
Draco probably wanted to turn into a ferret that moment. I would feel so embarrassed I'd scamper out of the room with my little ferret legs.
Snape doesn't actually dance, so it's best that he used imperious curse to the students to teach them how to dance XD, nah just joking I think Snape is really creative and project a slide show on how to Dance because that's how he teach... (kinda feel sad in Hogwarts mystery Snape looks so miserable... But if I'm a student their I would invent a illustration of a person from ones memory and mimics them but it's only limited use for how long the person can concentrate so that Snape could hypothetically dance with Lilly...)
