"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" Excitement Thread

My grandmother, my cousins, my brother and I are all making a date to see it…

I can’t wait! bounces around like a three-year-old, glee

Looking very much forward to it, but as in years past, will wait for about three weeks after it has opened so I can go to a theater matinee and see it with a crowd of just about 10 other people.

I just watched the trailers again…I can’t wait!!! It’s tomorrow!! (or tonight, for some of you lucky people!)

Bounces around with Kythereia

A co-worker told me about the first item on your list. Considering it hasn’t come up again in subsequent books, I think it was okay to cut.

I have to take my daughters this coming week. Even without seeing the newest installment, Kyle Smith seemed to sum up my past HP experiences and expectations quite well:

Gee-don’t strain yourself, there, John. Maybe somebody else could take your daughters. If your daughters are excited about it-can’t you just enjoy their excitement?
I would say that the “sporting contest” is very pertinent to plot and series in this particular movie.

Need to at least rest this evening. I have been doing yard work and am already tired!

Just wanted to thank everyone for the recommendations re: see the movie first/read the book first. Guess I’m not surprised that reading first was the preferred option!

Advice noted, and I’ll pick up a used copy of GOF to read before checking out the film. The trailers look very very cool, though, which makes it harder to wait…!

Wooohooooooo!!! I watched it last night and it was definitely worth the 45-minute wait and the really long line. Okay, highlights (for me and my friend) of the movie:

[spoiler]

  • The Quidditch World Cup: It was really short, but it was amazingly breathtaking.

  • The Yule Ball: My friend fell in love with Cedric Diggory. The Yule Ball was absolutely cool and different from anything we’d seen in the previous movies.

  • The 3 tasks: Especially the dragon one because I love dragons and I love it when Harry flies around on his broom.

  • Mad-Eye Moody: Brendan Gleeson portrayed him just as the way I’d imagined him.

  • Harry Potter shirtless. Need I say more?

  • Voldemort and the graveyard scene: It was played out the way it’s described in the book and I thought they did an amazing job of it.

  • Cedric’s death: I cried. End of story.[/spoiler]

Overall, it was amazing fun. It was really funny, too. Fred and George were hilarious as usual. They’re two of my favourite characters. I’d love to watch it again!

I am soooo excited, but I have to wait until my Dad comes into town. Every year we watch a movie together, the LOTR, The Star Wars and now, Harry Potter.

:slight_smile:

The only bad thing is…I have to wait until her in here in December, but at least I get to see it on Imax.

Trust me, it’ll be worth the wait.
