Harry Potter considered a best high school flick
 
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.

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.

Thanks to Sugar Covered Quills for the tip!

Hogwarts is indeed quite lovable. :loved:

i keep forgetting that its HP is set during highschool :lol:, to me it doesnt feel like a highschool flick, rather its an adventure that just happens to take place in and around the school.

Cool!

Potter for Minister 07-30-2008 04:31 PM

HarryThePotter 07-30-2008 04:42 PM

Awesome! Go Hogwarts :woot:

Hmm. I thought it would be OOTP. (:
Good choice though.
BTW, HBP trailer was AMAZING.
I'm still watching it. x]

Now i would have assumed that the teenage anger and angst of OOTP would have been the one! But okay, a sports theme fits.....high school - angst hormones and sports. Okay and studies too....

That's cool. I'm not surprised, though.

Ginevra_P 07-30-2008 06:04 PM

That's really cool!

I would go back to high school if it was exactly like hogwarts.

S_potter 07-30-2008 06:55 PM

I wish Hogwarts was my high school...

Padie 07-30-2008 06:57 PM

Woot! Go GoF! :D

Whisper of the Heart 07-30-2008 07:07 PM

That's a brilliant result! Every school should be like Hogwarts!

ewwwww. you would? I certainly dont remember good looking guys like Harry, Cedric or Rupert at my school....or teachers that looked like Lupin (i do mean that in the darkly handsome way....)

Little Trooper 07-30-2008 08:23 PM

who wouldn't want to go to a school like hogwarts. I would have wanted to go to a school like Hogwarts, them maybe i would have done better.

princess of*hp* 07-30-2008 10:12 PM

Nice choice, EW :)

tell.your.story 07-30-2008 10:12 PM

I would love to have gone to a school like Hogwarts

Zoe 07-30-2008 10:28 PM

I'm not surprised.

Hogwarts is our home. :D

Lily Evans 07-30-2008 10:42 PM

mmm....of course if my High School was Hogwarts or like Hogwarts ( with all the stuff: cute guys, cool teachers, a castle!...and all that) I wouldn't be worried about coming back ;) hahaha

Shopgirl3876 07-31-2008 02:23 AM

I wish my school was like Hogwarts. Maybe all schools should be like Hogwarts, maybe kids would be a little more respectful to their teachers than they do now.

Oh thats great, GoF was one of my faveorite movies!

Mrs_Molly_Weasley 07-31-2008 02:54 AM

If I was going to Hogwarts I would have had a lot more nerve and stood up to alot more teachers. Once in SS (Social Studies) we had this sub-teacher and her name was like Ms. Carp or something like that and my friends and I were joking around the period after that and said it should be Ms. Cr*p and I saw her the next day (subing for my teach again) nd I called her that w/o realizing it and got 2 hrs of detetion! I would have loved Hogwarts ( I think the ymay have sent my application confirmation form to some one else by mistake!)
