A new
report from a screening of '
Goblet of Fire' in Chicago last month, has emerged. It includes details about the sequence of scenes and interactions between characters.
Quote:
The main subjects to make it to the screen are Quidditch World Cup, Yule Ball, Tri-Wizard Tourneament, Moody, Rita Skeeter, Voldemort's return, Harry's visions, Ron and Harry's fight, boys and girls developing crushes on each-other, Barty Crouch's family legacy.
Quote:
The beginning is a terrifying scene at the Riddle House where the gardener discovers Lord V' and his two henchmen. Harry awakens from the vision when Hermoine calls for him to get ready to go to the World Cup.
Quote:
Flash to the camp where the Death Eaters are attacking and burning the camp to the ground. They are much more terrifying on film that I thought they would be. Everyone runs, Harry gets knocked out during the frenzy. He wakes up alone and sees a man using his wand to cast the dark mark.
Quote:
Dumbledore announces the champions. The teachers freak out on Harry, and Rita Skeeter takes some jabs at Harry during a closet interview. Everyone in the school is wearing POTTER STINKS badges and Ron turns against him and they have some heated exchanges. Poor Hermoine is forced to play the go-between, and this leads to comedic genius.
Quote:
Moody does his lesson on the unforgivable curses, much to the displeasure of Hermoine and Neville. Moody is just as I imagined he would look, and his acting is gold. You almost forget about his polyjuice potion drinking habit and believe him to be a drunk as the students do for sipping on his flask all the time.
Quote:
Cho Chang is brilliant, she speaks with a heavy accent and is very pretty. Ron is in total denial that Hermoine has a date to the ball, and she is beautiful when she arrives. Victor and Hermoine hit it off, Ron becomes very jealous, and Hermoine ends up yelling at him. You really see the sparks fly between them in this scene. The only person to really enjoy himself is Neville, who comes home very late after dancing the night away with Ginny.
Quote:
Ron is full of great lines and expressions. Harry and Dumbledore have a few intense exchanges. Fred and George are a riot and have loads of great scenes. Rita Skeeter is awesome. Madame Maxine and Hagrid have funny moments together.
Quote:
Many of the characters are left without time for their stories, however, and you miss seeing more of them. Snape is always around, but he has very few lines. You really start to see Neville develop his confidence and talent in the few scenes he is in. Ginny is only around a little.
