| | |  The Sun (tries to) report on GoF
The Sun has featured an article on ' Goblet of Fire' once again using less-than-true 'facts'.
Nothing new is reported in it however it is funny to realise (as a trainee journalist) how integrity in the industry is slumping.
See if you can spot the mistakes

I really love how they don't have much of a clue regarding what they're talking about. It amuses me.
Though, the pictures are of pretty good quality. You'd think they'd at least be able to see hair color (as one of the most glaring mistakes)....even if they might not have read the books.

yes Voldy is a teenager and is still at Hogwarts perhaps they are thinking of Draco!
Because Ralf Feinns is the natural choice to play a teenager he is in his 40's! dear god!
Stuff like this makes me glad I can read which seems to be a dieing skill!

I don't get what the less-than-true 'facts' were?
edit: francis cleared it up, but they were just trying to make the article fancy *pets amatuer writers*

There's a bunch The conjuring and spell stuff is a play-on-words. Because they think it's funny. Quote:
The lucky lad gets to dance too with redhead pal Hermione (Emma Watson) before she links with rival Viktor Krum (Stanislav Ianevski).
Harry DOES NOT dance with Hermione, as Harry "Doesn't dance," (that's a quote from Harry when McGonagall tells him he has to get a date!). Hermione definitely isn't a red-head. Even if she was dancing with Harry, it wouldn't be before Krum because the champions open the ball with their partners. Krum isn't Harry's rival in the love stakes. He's interested in Cho and she's interested in Krum. Quote:
Goblet also stars Ralph Fiennes as evil Lord Voldemort, whose team sends shockwaves through Hogwarts at the Quidditch World Cup.
Ralph's 'team'?  Was it too much to research the term, death eaters? And it happens at the QWC and sends shockwaves through the whole world, not just the school. Quote:
The move signals a return to power for Voldemort but Harry still has a trick or two up his sleeve.
Lame pun and actually Harry has no tricks up his sleeve because it's unexpected and therefore he's unprepared that's why it's called 'The Unexpected Task'.  | |

I spotted: Quote:
He’s under her spell ... Harry looks captivated by the lovely Parvati
Yeah, trying not to step on her maybe... Trying to get the dancing over with maybe... Quote:
conjures up a magical date
Was forced to pick a magical date... Quote:
The lucky lad gets to dance too with redhead pal Hermione Since when? Quote:
before she links with rival Viktor Krum
Sort of a rival - in the tournament anyway... Hang on - Quote:
before she links with rival Viktor Krum
She wouldn't be dancing with Harry first! Quote:
Changing partners ... Hermione moves in for her dance with Harry
They do look cute together. Quote:
Goblet also stars Ralph Fiennes as evil Lord Voldemort, whose team sends shockwaves through Hogwarts at the Quidditch World Cup.
So Voldie's playing Quidditch now! Hey wait - that makes it sound like the Quidditch World Cup is at Hogwarts!
Too funny!!

Well, at least their mistakes give us something to do while we all anxiously await both the HBP book and GOF movie!

LOL I love, "Tries to" because it's pretty obvious that they didn't get a **** thing right. Dan isn't wearing his Harry glasses in any of the dance pics. I mean, couldn't they even notice that? :p I had to really laugh...
It's funny too because the Sun paper here is somewhat "credible" still but it's losing its credability... I suspect in a few years time, The Sun will be a tabloid like it is in the UK.
