On the heels of their
top picks for the 20 best fictional high schools (of which Hogwarts made the grade, of course),
Entertainment Weekly has just published their
list of the '50 Best High School Movies' of all time.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire came in at No. 36.
Quote:
36. HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE (2005)
No, we haven't lost our minds. One of J.K. Rowling's ingenious ideas was to blend two literary traditions, fantasy and coming-through-school fiction (à la Tom Brown's School Days). That's particularly true in Goblet, which depicts 14-year-old Harry's heightened state of adolescent anxiety, about the big (Quidditch) game, about finding a date for the big dance, and about juggling homework while saving the wizard world from evil Lord Voldemort.
