Well you might have noticed my book list on the right and see that I am reading the whole Harry Potter series back to back. I just recently finished Goblet of Fire and the movie came out today and was anxious to see it.
My first impression was that it was a Cliff notes version of the book. They cut so much out that it felt like the movie was on fast forward. I think it was better than the Prisoner of Azkaban though.
Lets see some of the things they left out (there are more but here are the highlights):
- Riddle family murders
- Bertha Jorkin
- Potter at the Dursleys
- Mr. Weasley “flooing” to pick up Potter and confronting Mr. Dursley
- Winky the house elf
- Percy Weasley (Weatherby)
- Ludo Bagman
- Fred and George’s bet
- Team Mascots
- Who won the Quidditch World Cup game
- Ministry of Magic protecting World Cup
- Potter, Weasley, Malfoy’s in box seats
- Death Eaters attacking muggles
- Weighing of the Wands
- Potter resisting Imperio Curse
- Bagman and the Goblins
- S.P.E.W. and the House-Elf Liberation Front
- Return of Dobby
- Return of Sirius
- The giant spider in the maze
- Explanation of Priori Incantatem
- Potter giving the Triwizard Cup winnings to Fred and George
- Rita Skeeter being able to turn into a bug
