Harry Potter and the Year everyone had long ass hair.
TheDawsonator1 I know what’s with the long hair?
Harry Potter And The Time EVERY SINGLE FAN SAID THE SAME THING ABOUT THERE HAIR
I spy a Seamus Gonerightman reference

Well, it's the most accurate Harry Potter look. So.
the whole "i can't make a dark toned movie because the last one was dark" argument makes 0 sense. God forbid we have a consistent tone throughout the series smdh
Seriously, what a hack
Right? I just want to tell this edge lord to calm down and make a good fucking hp movie. No need to get in a pissing contest with Curon
Imagine if the directors of the Marvel movies had the same attitude xD
Yeah, especially when Mike Newell's movie would involve VOLDEMORT FREAKING RETURNING.
Yeah!Like why the fuck do you think he showed you 40 minutes of his movie?
I think we can all agree on one thing though: Brendan Gleeson absolutely stole the show as Mad Eye Moody. Incredible casting for that role.
i dont agree. when reading the book I imagined him much more cunning, someone students would resepct and would even be afraid of. this actor does not make this impresion, yet he was a decent choice after all, considering that dumbledore actor sucks completely and vodlemort is making me laugh, nowhere close to the image of the most dangerous dark wizard of all time.
I would really have liked Hugh Laurie as Moody instead
did you really said that the actor of dumbledore sucks? lmfao you are crazy@@marianpyter5948
@@marianpyter5948 Yeah, Brendan Gleeson came off silly and campy to me. He needed to be more serious and intimidating. Hugh Laurie would probably be able to pull off the personality, but he is a little too handsome. They would have to do a fair amount of makeup to make him look scarred, ugly, and scary.
I also hated Michael Gambon and Ralph Fiennes in their roles. Dumbledore seemed like an angry homeless person who shouts at squirrels on the street, and certainly not like the calm and subtle genius he is in the books. And Voldemort was like a ballet teacher who is a little extra.
@@marianpyter5948 To be fair Voldemort isn't all that great in the books except the Tom Riddle backstory scenes.
@j-rey- I love your description of D. and V.
Watching a H.P. video, so you'll know about D.'s childhood ( I have only watched F.B.a.W.t.F.T. so don't know how the D. story goes in the prequel series, not being a fan of the idea of D. vs G. being part of the story, it's a F.B. series so it should have been all about Newt. I'd have been fine with a movie of D. and G. just why interfere with the F.B. series?) becoming friends with Grindelwald and knowing who G. really was but not wanting to accept it, until the fight breaks out that hits his sister and not knowing who of the 3 fighters hit her, the trauma of that built up so much he put a Horcrux on to apologise to her? Or his parents?
Yes, towards the last of V. he's dancing around, thinking he had killed Harry and gives a terrible laugh too.
The “Dumbledore asked calmly” part was the reason this movie was my favourite. 😂
he forgot to take his medicine
@@MrVecheater in the movie, yes. 😂
I want to see a fan edit where "Dumbledore asked calmly" comes after his attempted murder of Harry 😂
*POTTERRRRRRRRR*
“To bed! BOTH OF YOU!”
Hermione said calmly
It doesn’t matter how anyone feels about the movie, what we can agree on is Cedric’s Father mourning the death of his son was soo damn real. It really broke me.
That was the one scene I felt was done extremely well. It really captured how his sons death completely broke him. In the books, you get so much of how proud and loving he is of Cedric and until that scene, they hadn't captured that really.
That scene will _never_ fail to give me chills.
Yup
As a young child, that scene made me feel emotions that i didn't know i could feel.
It's easily one of the best scenes in the series.
Two questions
1. Who directs a movie based on a book without reading the book?
2. Who hires someone to direct a movie based on a book who hasn't read the book?
Someone who doesn't read books
He also didn't saw previous films of the franchise 😂
1. The people who directed the Percy Jackson films
I gave it 69 likes
3. Who places in position of power a guy who hires someone to direct a movie based on a book who hasn't read the book ?
4. Who dares to engage someone who wants to place in position of power a guy who hires someone to direct a movie based on a book who hasn't read the book ?
I am absolutely shocked and appalled by what I'm hearing from this director in the behind the scenes footage. I had no idea. Makes me appreciate what a small miracle it is that the movie didn't turn out a complete disaster. Its main saving grace is the graveyard scene with Voldemort which I thought was brilliant and the scariest Voldemort ever was on screen.
He nailed the cemetery scene, and diggory's dad screaming out "MY BOY!!!" always gets me. But yeah, so much else was done so wrong. I think this movie was hard-carried by the cast moreso than any other. Although I truly hate what he made poor Michael Gambon do. The dude knew how to play Dumbledore. His performance in six was perfect. Calm, with a soothing presence, always ten steps ahead of everyone else, at once both comforting and mysterious. But under the helm of this director, he's made out like a raving lunatic.
I didnt like how Voldemort moved around the place.
I didn't like Newell's direction either and thought it was a disaster minus Moody's performance, Voldemort's return, Wormtail being a coward, and Mr. Diggory reacting to Cedric's death. I also felt like Rob had charm as Cedric.
"Harry, take my body back. Take my body back to my father."
Cedric Diggery’s father crying out “MY BOY” after the death of his son is one of the most gut wrenching moments of cinema that I have ever seen. It changes the stakes and the mood of the entire series from then on. Kudos to the director, actors, and everyone else involved.
No kudos given to the director of this movie from me💀
@@syt3189my favorite
Obiviously you've read the book
This! And Dumbledore saying to Snape: "Yes, the boy must die" in Deathly Hallows are two of the most memorable moments of cinema I've ever seen
I almost cried when I first saw that moment
That's a massive leap far from one of the most gut wrenching, Its not even close.
“that’s my son that’s my boy” breaks my heart every time
Every time
Always~
Very sad
Same I cried when I first heard it and everyone was like your being over dramatic and I was like No❤️
Always 😔
If a guy doesnt like a book, dont let him do the movie.
@Digonto Zahid Yeah, he did an amazing movie... completely different from the book to the point that Stephen King himself hated it.
Not letting someone who hates a book direct its movie adaptation isn't only because it increases the chances of the movie being garbage, but because it's almost inevitable that that person won't respect the source material and therefore change whatever he wants to make it "better" in his opinion, since if he didn't like the book it's because he thinks there are wrong things in it that he would have no problem changing them.
@Digonto Zahid This isn't a valid argument. Harry potter is a series of films. First of all, a good director would respect the source material; Newell worked off of his pride, disregarding the tone set by the previous film and not considering the next. The way he talks about this world is generally disappointing, it doesn't sound he even likes it.
Besides, Staley Kubrick is unlike any other director, that was uncalled for.
Exactly, the book was not hard at all to get through lol, it's really not even that long
@Digonto Zahid oh yeah because it fucking worked amazingly with Rian Johnson never seeing Star Wars while deciding to Burn everything that came before it
@@DanielGreen0 Yeah, he didn't care about how his movie would fit in the series. I mean, he still could have gone the dark route as he planned to, I see no reason as to not doing so, just because the previous one was too
What made me laugh/groan was when Dumbledore said
"Barty sent him(his son) to Azkaban. It nearly destroyed him to do it"
Dumbledore makes it out that Crouch really didn't want to send his son to prison,while in the books he did it without hesitation.
Think it's more realistic and inspiring in the movie, who willingly and without hesitation sends their son to prison? Barty Crouch loves his son but still knew his responsibility and did it which is a better character trait and action than in the book.
Ron’s actor not doing the essay assigned to him is honestly the most Ron thing I can think of
Yea Rupert said that’s exactly why he didn’t write one, cause Ron wouldn’t
Ok, ok. So... You're telling me... You're telling me that you were able to reread the goblet of fire to make this small review, but the director of the literal movie couldn't read more than 20 pages of it...?
If I remember it right this movie was for a time planned to be cut into 2 movies
2 movies I think that's too long for this book, maybe one long movie could be fine but in these times more than 2h long movies weren't that common as now (and it still wasn't enough for this movie...)
But producers didn't do it
It was the case for the seventh book (and it was the minimum)
When I saw it in a lovie theater my grandma fell asleep and it was hard to explain things for her since I had read the book before and she slept after the dobby/neville giving the help for the aquatic challenge, and I was like "oh f k that's not like in the book", and since then she told me that I liked too complicated things... 😂😂
Yep. That's about right.
@@PetitPoneyDuVercors26 "more than 2h long movies weren't that common as now"
I would have to disagree. Sure, we have had some pretty long movies recently such as Endgame and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, but 150+ minute movies were much more common back in the mid-2000s and 90s. HP, LotR trilogy, Titanic, Schindler's List, Hamlet (1996 version), Gettysburg, etc. Hamlet and Gettysburg were 4+ hours long, and I could not imagine a movie that long being released in theaters today.
@@elephant35e
I should've precise that I was thinking about blockbuster movies made for kids/families
Most of them are between 1h30/2h30 length
I got the feeling that more movies tends to be closer to 2h30 now
Long movies for adults and teens always have existed
But for kids that's not common that was what I was thinking about
A 3h30 movie for kids isn't view as a good idea for many producers for example (And with an hour more this movie could've been better), and some of the cuts from the book were for me probably made for economic reasons
(Monsters, Dobby, etc)
With a money based point of view it makes sense (cuts, humor, not too long, less fear etc...)
This movie sucked!!!!!!! Who the hell picked this director!!!!
"DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE" Dumbledore said calmly
“Crucio” Voldemort whispered softly as he tucked Harry into bed.
That was terrible!!
@@isabelladoesntexist8028 AHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH
Yes that did take place in the book
Literally the cartoon version of Micheal Gambon on the book cover: "Did u put your name into the Goblet of fire,Harry?"
The same Micheal Gambon in the movies and same character only in real life: " *DIDYOURBPRUTTURURNAMEINTOFBTHEBGOBLEZTOFTORE* "
The fact that Rupert didn't do the essay because "Ron wouldn't do it" is incredible.
Is ‘t it?😂 also Dan said ‘I was so proud of having written mine, and then Emma comes in with ALL 16 PAGES of hers’ so in character it’s amazing
Meanwhile Dan comes in proud of his one page essay and Emma walks in with a goddamn dissertation 😂
This one is my least favorite too, mainly for the pacing. The challenges were so much fun to watch and the return of Voldemort, and heck I even liked the beginning with the death eaters attack. But I can't stand the prom scenes. It just felt like it was a huge pause on the story. Plus the angsty teens where Ron and Harry don't like each other got annoying
Meanwhile the half blood prince does nothing for an hour while Draco plays with a cupboard
And people complain about Goblet's pacing? Jesus christ

@@spr1nkl3s.x dumbledore's death takes 1 minute- it doesn't make up for the 2 hours of shit before it, especially when the main complaint in this video about goblet is "pacing"
Why did they hire a director that didn't care about the book.
Um, you could also apply that to the entire Bourne series. I've read the Jason Bourne books and except for the first movie, they have NOTHING in common with the books. At least the Harry Potter films had SOME connection to the books at the very worst.
money, David Yets (5-7) had even less fucks about the books and changed the plot completely (and his version of the story sucks)

"Dumbledore said calmly" also movie HARRYDIDYOUPUTYOUTNAMEINTHEGOBLETOFFIYAH
NO SIR
Lol
ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY SURE
He say as he camly strangles him
Wait its the other way around
Lmaooo
This movie had the impeccable ability to make everything that wasn't very important a massively long scene, while everything that truly mattered was rushed over or cut. This movie came across like someone had a train to catch.
even when I was a kid, I always though this one was very boring, I preferred the first 3 honestly.
Imagine if Newwel did the order of the phoenix . Voldemort would attack Dudley and Harry , Authur would be tortured by a death eater than attacked by nagini and and Umbridge would have tortured people daily ‘because it’s cooler’ and ‘tops goblet of fire’
Nawww
Damn he just completely roasted this director dude for 20 minutes straight
Deservedly so
Its deserved😂😂😂(joking kind of)
He deserved it. Terrible director.
Totally deserved it tho
yep lol I never knew about that stupid director until i watched this vid and he is so LAMO really, why did they even hire him? he didn't even see any movies or read any books. I think i would be a better director than him. This guy that made this vid has got a point.
Year 1: Year of high voices
Year 2: Year of voice drops
Year 3: Year when things got Sirius
Year 4: Year of no haircuts
Year 5: Year where things were very serious but stopped being Sirius
Year 6: Year of teen angst
Year 7: Year of confusion
stopped being sirius oof
Year 7: year where everybody bleeds and dies
When I was a kid, I used to have nightmares about George's ear and Ron's arm

Your right your cousin died. I mean Sirius
Rita being a bug was really cool coz until that point, it wasnt stated animagi could be things other than animals but later it's explained your animal form is based off your personality so her being a dung beetle is fuckimg brilliant
Bugs are animals, you mean mammals
@@clarkwhite998 brilliant reply 😂
Totally agree with you about Dumbledore....It bothered me the most about the movie. Can't erase my memory of how gentle and perfectly cast Harris as Dumbledore on the first 2 movies - then suddenly switched to Mike who portrayed Dumbledore as aggressive
Harris wasn’t perfectly cast either. He was too heavyset and appeared to lack the intellectual sharpness as well as amped-up eccentricity that Dumbledore exhibited in the movie.
Newell: “The book was twice as thick as any other book.”
Order Of The Phoenix: Hold my beer
I think he's talking about the previous books. I can imagine him picking up Order of the Phoenix and then going "fuck this shit, I'm out"
Hold my 105810571046202973105720383701 pages
*Hold My Butterbeer
How many pages does order of the phoenix?Im only at goblet of fire
It had over 1000 pages (still read it tho)
It just boggles my mind that a director making MILLIONS of dollars acted like he didn’t have the time to read the book. That is so ridiculous. Put your ego aside for once
I just finished reading the book, it took me less than 3 weeks. Mike Newell really couldn't do that?
I one read this book in 3 days. Chill dude just read it
New dumbledore does the same thing!!! He refused to read books or watch OG dumbledore !! Ridiculous
Chloe Muller yeah right!? Like in the book dumbledore was always calm and reassuring but in the movies he was like loud and aggressive.
Dilan Mian i red it in 4 days bc quarantine is a strange force
Hate that they cut out the Dobby scenes, it lessens the impact of his death later in the series as he has no screen time from movie 2 until Deathly Hallows.
I agree.
I like both the books and movies but yeah I agree
Leaving this movie’s midnight premiere, my best friend said, “remember the Spider-Man cartoons that we used to watch and an episode would say, “previously on” and then show clips from the last episode? I feel like I just watched a whole movie of that.”
Fun fact: the director of the prisoner of azkaban has 5 oscars
Sumit Jha current holder of the academy award for best cinematography for Roma, Alfonso Cauron
Say whuuttt
No wonder it's the best Harry Potter movie
@@BatmanisBatman well yes in many people opinion except mine, mine is chamber of secrets, prisoner comes on number 4
Mexican excellence
Mike Newell: “The book is too long”
Thank God they didn’t hire him for Order of the Phoenix lol
Right!!!
🤣😂
The whole story would have been ruined
If he did the 5th one,it wouldn’t be my favorite as order of the Phoenix is my favorite film
Yea that book was so long but I still read it because it was interesting and I loved it
It always cracks me up how Cedric holds his wand as if it was a gun, complete with his other hand holding the "muzzle".
I mean, its silly and it stands out, but at the same time i like it, i like how it hints that there are different "styles" of holding the wands
Bruh was Finna be smoken on that Voldermort pack
I liked Michael Gambon's performance as Dumbledore in Cuarón's Prisoner of Azkaban. So, with that in mind, I think Mike Newell is to blame for Gambon's misrepresentation of Dumbledore in Newell's movie.
I wish the director of the third movie handled the fourth
Wow 1.4k likes jeez. I never expected this.
Tony Nola DEFINITELY. Prisoner of Azkaban is my favourite HP movie and one of my most memorable and nostalgic childhood movies.
I dont agree, the third director wasnt as great as he put him out to be. A few examples are harry using magic outside of school and cutting out something as important and amazing as the marauders
@@tendyboiz1046 Not sure why they cut the marauders explanation either, but perhaps they wanted it to only be conveyed through hints. The movie has a lot of subtlety, after all. As for using magic outside of school, I personally prefer making the movie better to keeping in line with a book rule that doesn't even make much sense in the first place. I get it though, continuity is important.
@@Lasmelan I would be fine if it was consistent but it had him doing magic and than later git punished for doing magic
As Fudge said that he wouldn't get expelled for blowing up his aunt, so I don't think lighting up his wand on his own under his bed covers won't get him expelled either. It's not like he hexed somebody or used a killing curse.
So your telling me a 11 year old can read that book in 2 days but a like 48 year old can’t even read it for a 2 hour flim?
I was about to comment this lol
I agree its just lazy to read, watch or understand your sorse meteral
Im 7 when i read it for just 1 day
I was 9 and I read it in a hour lol. Even then I considered it a short book.
im 11 read in 2!
Voldemort calling lily a muggle always confused me, I just assumed Voldemort saw muggle born wizard/witches as so inferior they might as well be muggles… but still thought it was a weird thing for him to say! makes more sense now knowing that it was because the director didn’t know the source material
Such a pivotal book that was stupidly crammed into one movie when it obviously needed a two-parter (like they soundly did with Deathly Hallows)
I hate the way this movie made Fleur out to be so weak, when in the book she is actually a talented and clever witch.
AnxiousTerrier me too! She wasn’t my favorite in the book, but the movies did her shame.
@Please Go Away Ginny is the literal definition of a "bad bitch/witch", and they show nothing of it in the movies. You don't even know why Harry ends up liking her so much because she's so bland.
I mean... she’s a woman
Literally in the movie moody says “fleur is as much a fairy princess as I am” but she get screwed every task in the movie.
AND THAT'S WHY BILL LOVES HER THANK YOU AAAAA
The way the director said he couldn’t read the book cause it was too long really disgusted me. If 10 year old me could read that book then a grown ass man definitely could.
Edit( Chile some of y’all be calling saying that y’all read it at like one 😭😭)
Disgusted as a word is immature. It is my least favourite word in English.
Clashma n What? What do you mean by “ immature”
So basically this director didn’t want to read the book or watch the previous Harry Potter movies right?
k g He didn’t want to read the book but he did it cause he was the director but his excuse for not wanting to read the book is because it was “too big” which is ridiculous and he did watch the other movies but was angry that somebody already did the dark theme before him and basically turned everything into a competition
Bruh I started reading yesterday and I'm in the middle of the book and I'm 11 💀💀💀
When making a book based film, the director must read the book first, they need to know what happens to see what they’ll leave out or add or just know what the premise is. The director not wanting to read the book or not knowing what happens is a bad mark.
as a little kid the "muggle mother" line always confused me but as i got older it seemed more in character for voldemort to just deem a mudblood as nothing more then a muggle anyway. i started seeing it as a much better line that makes more sense as u understand more about his ideology
Harry Potter and the year where Dumbledore needs anger management
@Jon Bujupi yes
Jon Bujupi Percival
don't kill me lol
C A L M L Y
Harry Potter and the year when everyone needs a haircut
He got his anger management in the next film when he was ignoring harry 😂
Forgot to talk about how ridiculous Ron is in this movie. He’s so nonsensically mad at Harry and it’s just plain bizarre
Ron was a little pissy in the book.
Jason Dyrkacz yeah but he forgave him sooner in the book and communicated how he was feeling a bit more
Ron was jealous since he thought Harry was holding out on him.
Maureen Miaullis I know but it’s not very believable since it’s incredibly apparent that Harry did not put his name in the goblet and how clearly Harry doesn’t want to be in the tournament
Sean Kobarg Yeah, but Ron was never the most intelligent... All the boys were jealous because first, not only is there an age minimum for 7th years, then a 4th year gets to be in it. Ron even briefly showed interest in being in the tournament, and now his best friend is.
I feel like this movie’s interpretation of Dumbledore is one of if not the biggest reason for so much evil/bad guy Dumbledore bashing in fanfics
exactly
I don’t think Gambon is at all to blame for his portrayal in this film. He is only following the direction and writing he is given. I think he was just as good as Harris.
Imagine how lazy Alfonso Cuaron thought this guy was and that’s why he said “watch 40mins of my film (‘cause I know yo’ lazy ass ain’t about to watch the whole film)” like come on dude! Such an embarrassment.
Ikr! The fact that he had to ask Newel to watch any part of the movies is ridiculous. I wish Curan stayed with the video.
IKR!
Nuzhat Ali got it! thanks
Newell had to see it "in the cutting room". It's very possible the film wasn't finished by the time he had to start preparing for his film.
Bard W. Oh yes didn’t think of that! Apparently, film 4 began filming in early 2004, so that's 5-6 months before Prisoner of Azkaban came out.
I wish they’d shown Sirius’s scenes in this movie. The one where Harry, Ron and Hermione meet him in the cave and the one where he comes to Dumbledore’s office to check on Harry.
And where he says he's feeding on rats just to be able to be near Harry. Its hows so much of Sirius's character and the relationship that bloomed so quickly between them.
Cheru Siderea Yeah!!!! Sirius is my favourite character I love him
A shame his scenes didn't exist. Would of made his death in the fifth movie all the more inpactful.
And in the hospital wing as a dog
Xx Ashwinder Bellatrix Frenso xX yes!!!!!!
The first task scene is aggravates me so much. It’s one of my favorite parts of the book and the movie absolutely spits on it
I’ll never get over Narcissa being taken out of the movie, it’s such a small, unimportant, minuscule detail that effects basically nothing but I’m deeply upset by it, why would she not be there, it’s so weird to me
I read each book 10 times when I was 11 or 12 and I don’t remember much from any of them
I think the weirdest part is the complete tonal shift at the end. Diggory has died and then everyone is just laughing and smiling in the next scene seeing the other schools off. And then Ron makes that comment along the lines of “can we ever have a normal year at school?” Like geez a kid DIED
Cedric: *dies*
Ron: omg my life is like a movie 🤪
YES!!
@@Hello-qv2fx HELP ALKSDJGLASKDJGLAKJ
Its only in a movie they didn't care of....in a book there is very decent and natural phenomena on his death and they have given a proper farewell.....the ending of book was very sad and full of agitation and mayhem that the dark lord has risen again.....read it you will find it intriguing!!!!
Honestly I think none of these movies ended well except for Sorcerer’s stone, Prisoner of Azkaban, and Deathly Hallows pt 2. Even the end of Order of Phoenix is so cringe. Like Daniel Radcliffe didn’t even believe his line and the other actors just smile awkwardly behind him. I’d rather have tension in the end than fake joy
Another feature thrown in for no reason was Krum's glazed eyes when under the Imperius curse.
That opens another plot hole: it makes it visibly obvious when someone is cursed.
forevermalena maybe it’s only visible when the wand flashes on it
I agree if I didn't know what was going on I would have thought he was like possessed
this
unless that was just supposed to be the effects of the maze
Its just not corresponding to the original magic setting. And honestly krum felt like muscular brute with no brain in this movie, book krum was a bit more likable. And the quidditch scene! It would've been such a great game, the only world competition level quidditch in the book!
The part that always bothered me is how Harry seriously contemplates leaving Cedric to die in the maze.
Remember what Dumbledore said “you may lose yourselves in the maze”
@@danrogers9295 then you realize they may have installed fwoopers in cages hdden by greenery to drive the contestants mad.
i think that's pretty realistic though...i mean. He's human afterall. We ARE pretty selfish beings
That was in the book too though to be fair, Harry has thoughts about leaving the others to die because he wants to win
Why does that bother you?
Why this is my least favorite is because they focused on the Yule ball for a quarter of the movie, when it only lasted for only two chapters in the book. Plus it focused way more on romance and comedy when it should have focused on mystery for it’s the main theme of the books.
I wish he didnt cut Dobby out. That makes him coming back on the last movies kind of "out of the blue"
Agreed
Interesting, to see how that would work! I just feel too much dobby would Disney-fy the movies
Sharon R. Poogfber
Lily Thomee ??
Bruno Barcelos I know right! Not to mention that in Deathly Hallows part 1 Ron and Hermione know who Dobby is despite the fact that they have never met him.
Mike Newell: Books too big.

Mike Newell: yeah
Hey I finished the Goblet of Fire book in a week
Read that in less than a week
@@vibingtomatoe 5 hours for the order of the phoenix.Match me
Deathly Hallows: Hold my butterbeer...
I actually love Dobby for his sense of loyalty and kindness for his friends
To be fair Rupert Grint not writing an essay on Ron IS getting into character more than doing it would have. Ron would never do that.
Lmao I was thinking the same thing
Exactly
Nah, he would write two unedited sentences.
Idk if this is just me, but I feel like Ron would write 1 page (because he has the time, but is too lazy to write more) and Harry wouldn't do anything because something important would come up (triwizard tournament clue, scar telling him something, voldemort, quidditch etc).
Imagine if Alfonso Cuarón directed all the movies after the prisoner of Azkaban...
I love how now the “Dumbledore asked calmly” video has 48 million views like jeez they messed up with that one

Also they cut my favourite scene of the book which is when Harry is in the hospital and Dumbledore instantly reforms the Order of the Phoenix, like, we see Sirius becoming innocent in the eyes of the Weasley, we see Snape coming together with Sirius and indirectly Harry as well, and we understand just how a threat Voldemort is just by how quick Dumbledore reacted and reformed the Order. also, long live SPEW :(
One of the producers in an interview said that they chose to tell the story from Harry's point of view.
@@addie-eileenpaige6460 yes I think I remember that, but it still was my favourite scene (and since in the book he was in the hospital during the scene, it could've been totally possible to put it in the movie from his point of view)
@@addie-eileenpaige6460 hm but Harry was there and watched it all happen. The scene in the hospital wing was perfect and really important, there is no excuse to cut it.
The part in the book where they described how Harry felt when Mrs. Weasley hugged him in the hospital wing made me tear up. But nah that was completely gone
@@Xehanort10 one of my favorites moments in book5 is when Harry tells his story to Rita Skeeter and Luna's father publishes it, is SO important for Harry and for the fight against Voldemort I still can't believe it was left out because they couldn't bother to add one scene in movie4 with Hermione finding out Rita Skeeter was an animagus. I know things have to be cut, for example I understand Bagman being cut, but this was important for continuity.
In an ideal world they would have split the Goblet of Fire into 2 films, but I still enjoy it. Yes, it's not really all that close to the book, but it's still in my top 3 HP films
I dont believe splitting the movie would have made it any better. The problem is that they did not know which parts of the plot are relevant and which not and also addes some completely ridiculous staff like the dragon fight scene which is simply pathetic considering the safety at the tournament was a priority.
Also, if you allow the headmaster to shout at the students it shows producers of the movie are not really HP fans, they just dont understand the books. All they cared about was to make money
To the directors credit; I think this is a thoroughly enjoyable and engaging movie. That being said…the entirety of your video is correct and all it makes me is sad knowing a movie I already enjoy could’ve been SO much better.
why’d they even hire him... he didn’t read the book or watch the movie-

EXACTLY

So...what ur saying is a book that dook more than half a week for u to get through could easily be crammed into a 1 1/2 to 2 hour movie....
I would've loved to see the whole series with Richard Harris as Dumbledore, he was perfect.
“DID YOU PUT YOW NAME IN DA GOBLET OF FIYAH”
Dumbledore said calmly.
and the kids at the tables: *Hes a cheat*
Also, notice how Newell says “a forest” not “the Forbidden Forest”. Really shows how much he cares about the material he’s making a movie out of.
Exactly, a forest is a forest, the Forbidden Forest is a place in this world where plots happen before GoF *and* after GoF. Characters are introduced *and* meet their demise in this location in the series.
But yeah let’s burn it down for a chase scene.
UnWaTcHaBLe
It was a criminal mistake to switch directors from the first 3 movies..
@@henrik1743 they changed from 2 to 3 and it was a good change
In Morgan's review about the Philosopher's stone, he said that the entire crew had to object to burning down the Forbidden Forest to talk some sense into Newell.
Watching goblet of fire, the depiction of Dumbledore was certainly one that bothered me the most. He looked uncharacteristically agitated in ALL the scenes. Now one of the most defining qualities of Dumbledore is that he is a very chill person and rarely let emotion slip out of him.
I know right
I think that's very true. One of the better moments in the Goblet of Fire book is when Hagrid relays that Dumbledore has been worried lately; it really communicated the uneasiness and anxiety felt through Dumbledore; that he knew Voldermort was going to return, he just didn't know when or how. Fear was a new quality in Dumbledore that we had not seen, and therefore it packs a punch in the 4th book.
I've been complaining about this for fifteen years. David Yates used Gambon a lot better, but you'd still get those Angrydore moments.
When Dumbledore got angry in the books, something BIG just happened. The films kinda undermined that by making him this grumpy old curmudgeon who barked orders at everyone.
@@nrrork unfortunately yes. This is true. I think Richard Harris was perfect as Dumbeldore. Sadly he died. Oh life is cruel bitch
Even when he’s giving a speech after Cedric’s death he looks annoyed
For me it’s the half blood prince. It’s just a teen drama. It should’ve focused on lord Voldemort.
This was the film that made me realise the later ones would have been better in TV format. They left way too much stuff out to keep them around 2 1/2 hour mark.
The book is twice as long as the other books
Order of the Phoenix: hold my umbridge

@@tokutickler And then people be hating on Michael Gambon
one thing I don't like about the films is Voldermort's appearance. in the books, Voldemort looks really scary, has red eyes, etc, but in the movies he wasn't as scary as he should have been.
Isn't the red eyes pretty much the only difference?
I feel like Afonso should have directed this film. He wanted the film to go into a darker territory, which he started with Azkaban.
i STILL hate to this day on how dumbledore "calmly" yelled at harry, it was so uncharacteristic
It’s still one of the best memes ever
matsu IKR when I saw this scene I thought to myself ‘did he even read the book?!’
The paintings don’t move in the background in this movie and to be honest that really bothers me.
thats the worst part thats actually creepy
When I realized that I was actually upset :/
@@na2873 same
and a lack of ghosts casually wandering around, except for Myrtle
Oh no, I wish I haven't read this comment. I didn't realize... now it will upset me
I find it crazy that you read the book just to make a 20 minute video about it, but the director couldn’t read it to make an entire movie adapting it
Something I hated about the film was that they kept explicitly saying that you can die in this tournament. Especially during that cringe interaction with Sirius at the fireplace. In the books, it is mentioned that the ministry and Dumbledore took serious measures to protect the students competing.
Between Dumbledore being so hostile towards Harry that has reached meme levels,
The fact Ludo Bagman, Winky and SPEW, the Quidditch world cup as well were omitted, it was my least favourite movie too.
The actors however were pretty good, and the scene where Malfoy was a ferret and the scene where Voldemort came back was pretty good.
Definitely a highlight
Yes. The fact that SPEW and Winky and Dobby never appear in the movies again until the very last one, it makes the final payoff of Dobby's death, Kreacher's turnaround and Ron's change of mind absolutely minimal. In the books, Dobby's death and Kreacher's actions are some of the most touching and moving storylines.
@VelCrowd *shrieks in mcgonagall*
@@IAmOmniscient honestly though, cutting a Little bit of the elves story from this book was good, but they should have at least kept dobby. They should half also included him in half blood prince, cause there it would make sense. And yeah cutting elves altogether from ootp was a good call in my opinion.
To be fair, I don't think any of those subplots were fundamental to the overall saga, and the main plot of this film is already pretty convoluted as it is
The director sounds like he's not even interested in the series. I wonder how he even got the job
He probably wanted it for the money because he realized how big the series was and how much money he could make.
@@10MILLIONcreeperplushies so so true
@@10MILLIONcreeperplushies I mean that film earned 897 million dollar USD
@@lalkiran1950 WOW
@Om Patel idk :(
Dumbledore from this film onwards just wasn't the Dumbledore I had pictured from the books - not faulting Gambon as I think he's a great actor- but the book Dumbledore was a calm old man who just gave an aurora of power. He was the only wizard Voldemort was afraid of and this combined with his relaxed nature gave a kind of mystic awe about him which was completely lost in the latter films.
The Dumbledore vs Voldemort duel in Oder of the Phoenix is the perfect example, Dumbledore easily handles Voldemort in the books without even looking as if he's trying. In the films however it looks like Dumbledore's at the limit of his power, Voldemort even looks calmer than Dumbledore. This is why when Dumbledore died in the books it was this IMMENSE feeling of hopelessness, how could they survive without Dumbledore? Although this was felt to a degree in the films it had nowhere near the same impact as it did in the books. Richard Harris in the first two films was the book Dumbledore, I wish we could have seen him all the way through the films, RIP.
When you used The Dark Knight as an example of a sequel done right, I honestly started to wonder what a Harry Potter movie directed by Christopher Nolan would be like.
Probably Harry drinks a potion where he can't make any new memories so he has to magic spell himself into other people's dreams to stop Voldemort from blowing up the boats filled with prisoners and civilians
It would be shit
Hermione would be deleted from the movie script
@@jatdaman based
I find it ironic how he wanted to be the most well known director of the HP films, but he's the one everyone forgets.
For me it's Columbus or Yates and curon are the Trinity of Harry Potter directors
Really pathetic he wanted the notoriety without wanting to put in the effort. Imagine directors who actually wanted to direct Goblet of Fire because they wanted to make a satisfying adaptation.
When was it stated that he wanted to be the most famous HP director? Did I somehow miss that info in this video?
Well he's the most infamous so he sort of succeeded. XD
reminds me of cornellious fudge
This director thinks he is much smarter than he actually is
Yes, but to be fair, it seems he'd still be giving himself too much credit even if he thought he only had the intelligence of Brazilian tree frog, and I'm not sure that it's within the capacity of the human condition for anyone to truly understand that level of stupidity. So, he'd probably still be overestimating himself even if he were a lot more humble.
Hank Lawson 😂
@@ivyblack21 may I suggest you're a ravenclaw or slytherin lmfao... tru tho I stand withya
Hank Lawson You’re speak a lot of words but they have little meaning.
It's not that he isn't smart. Modern fantasy cinema just isn't his cup of tea. Go look at the movies he's directed. He's a dramatist, someone who's work was best in the 60's and 70's but can't bring that to the screen anymore.
It´s my favourite. Like the first movie the emphasis was really put on exploring the magical world again. It feels more lighthearted than part 3 and the movies after. Except the end ofcourse.
I'm so glad others see the Dumbledore thing. He was my favourite character in the books, I adored how he was written, for Michael Gambon/directors to get him so completely wrong was extremely jarring.
Yes, you are so right. The books' Dumbledore was a character which is mysterious, always in control of the situation and generally someone I aspired to be like.
The movies' version is just childish. I can't take this guy seriously 😒
The got a guy that had not read the books NOT EVEN watched the previous movies to direct it? Wtf?
Yh i agree with you they choose the wrong director for the film
Thats hollywood for you lol Why do you think there are so many bad remakes and takes on original source material? The golden compass, Avatar the last airbender, Ghost in the shell all ruined by directors who didn't even bother paying attention to the source material smh
ATLEAST READ THE DANG BOOK
At least he could put Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire on his CV lol
Anthony D While we’re mentioning adaption failures I’d like to mention: *The Percy Jackson movies.*
Goblet was the first book I owned. I remember fondly the prep time before every trial.
2:22 may have been a reason why Ron's "if you're gonna kill him, you gotta kill us too" and other lines were given to Hermione.
Honestly, the studio should’ve kept the guy that directed the 3rd film. It was a bloody masterpiece.
He left because him and J.K Rowling didn’t get along.
Honestly, that genuinely would’ve been great. The last few Potter films, while not bad, felt a bit bland, not unlike many Marvel movies from the past few years. It’s hard to compare to the third film which is just radiating style
Alfonso Cuarón did an amazing job.
Dickriding at its finest 👍🏻
@@officialmonarchmusic In my opinion, the Order of the Phoenix is a fantastic movie as well.
But hey, at least we got the "Dumbledore asked calmly" meme.
silverlinings
Nah that was in the book which is good
"HARRY DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET FIRE?" Dumbledore asked calmly whilst giving Harry a tight hug, making him feel as though he was under a steamroller. Proffeser Snape had just invited them for candy, gave 10000 points to Gryffindor and took 10000000 of from Slytherin. Neville was successful in all his spells and had turned put even better that Hermione. Whilst Ronald Weasley had all of his hand me downs replaced by new ones.
This movie followed up my favorite movie of the whole franchise (at least cinematically speaking). Even though I agree with all the flaws presented in this video, it's still the most enjoyable movie for me. I can literally pop this movie on the TV at any time and I'll have a great time. I have to be in a certain mood to watch any of the other ones.
“And then, Dumbledore cleared his throat and read out - “Harry Potter.””
*HARRY POTTER!!*
Me : I kinda like this movie
Movie Flame : I don't like it
Me : I don't like this movie at all
100% me!!
Except I don't know what the fuck he's thinking saying OOTP is the best movie... IT WAS THE WORST. They left out so much shit you might as well not even make the movie.
At the same time, all the issues I had with the GOF movie are now making sense. I don't agree though with him being OK cutting out the house elves. The part where they go to the kitchens was really entertaining in the book.
nahor88 you should watch his video on why he thinks OOTP is the best. I thought it was really bad too but after watching that video he changed my mind completely with the most solid points and great evidence. And the house elves would not have fit in the movie, them going to the kitchens would have slowed the film down so much and taken even more time away from the mystery aspects (the best parts of the book) more than the film already did
