Weight problems

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

Another Potter film and another new director for the franchise, this time Mike Newell takes the helm of the magic money printing series. Young Harry gets involved in a dangerous wizard competition and the bad guys are out to get him again.

It is clear that the series is starting to struggle to convert the novels to screen as at times it feels like there are clearly bits missing here and there despite the increase in run time. What is good about the film is you can see the characters starting to age and how their relationships are changing. While this is another well made effort it does feel like another half an hour at least was needed to really fill the film out.

3/5
