Movie propaganda

In the fourth film adaptation of JK Rowling's popular Harry Potter novel series, Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) must contend with being mysteriously selected to compete in the prestigious Tri-Wizard Tournament, a thrilling international competition that pits him against older and more experienced students from Hogwarts and two rival European wizarding schools. Meanwhile, supporters of Harry's nemesis, the evil Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes), send a shockwave of fear throughout the wizard community when their Dark Mark scorches the sky at the Quidditch World Cup, signalling Voldemort's return to power. But for Harry, this is not the only harrowing news causing him anxiety - he has yet to find a date for Hogwarts' Yule Ball dance.

Theatrical report

Hooley dooley! I saw Harry Potter in the bath! Nekkid! And don't try and tell me he hasn't been working out down at the gym every day because no-one gets abs like that without a personal trainer! [Enough with the exclamation marks already - Director of Intelligence.]

And almost as good was that this really cool heroic type dude (Robert Pattinson as Cedric Diggory) got killed and stayed killed. That is so not fantasy adventure filmmaking.

I think that Harry is growing up, and I don't just mean puberty, either. The themes are getting darker and the real world is encroaching on the playland that is Hogwarts. The competition for the Tri-Wizard Cup shows that Harry is out of his league in the magic stakes (he's good but he doesn't know half the things that other wizards do) even if he is a good boy at heart. Still, it makes for some good special effects as he has to do more radical magic just to keep up with the others. The dragons are cool, too (see also Reign of fire).

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is darn good entertainment but what I really want to see is Professor McGonagall let rip with a bit of magic; there's life in the old girl yet, I'm sure.

PS: I cried. And Ron said "Piss off!" - cool!
