This is just another film of Potter's series, but has a goot transcription to blu-ray. Why there is not the DTS sound??? All the movies of anykind generally has the sound recorded in DTS too, but why few DVDs and Blu-rays have this option ? DTS sound is always the BEST !!! Listen to Predator X Aliens 2 and you will understand !!! If you want my email,it is gdcmusic@uol.com.brDVD Review: great purchase
Summary: 4 Stars
It was nice getting the DVD at such a cheap price. It came in the mail about 10 days after I ordered it. Overall I'm happyDVD Review: The worst of the Harry Potter movies
Summary: 3 Stars
I've watched and enjoyed the other four Harry Potter movies and read all of the books. This movie is too rushed, trying to fit so much in that it leave gapping holes in the plot. Someone who has read the book might enjoy this movie as a visualization of some of the story's concepts, but to see this movie without the benefit of pre-reading would be a waste.
The script is pretty miserable and the lighting is too dark to be appreciated from a home setting.
DVD Review: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Is a Worthy Addition
Summary: 4 Stars
I was fortunate enough to catch a midnight showing of the latest installment in the Harry Potter series, and I must say it does not disappoint. Harry Potter has matured a great deal, along with his best friends, Hermione and Ron, who all share a great deal of emotional turmoil related to romance, friendship and death.
They have quite a bit of obstacles thrown at them, everything from magic to the green demon of jealousy, not to mention the overwhelming forces of Voldemort. Perhaps the most intriguing part of the film is the character development that is brought forth through the testing of the trio's friendship as their platonic feelings grow beyond into something more passionate and dangerous.
The Quidditch World Cup is wonderful, however brief it is, and as usual Potter's involvement in it is nothing short of extraordinary, especially his encounter with a scaly and ferocious creature. This time however, the game goes beyond the traditional matches, and actually becomes a matter of life and death, which takes the film down a much deeper and darker path than ever seen before.
By no means is this film for children any longer, as it has ventured into the territory of content for adolescents and adults. That's a good thing though, because the natural progression of their age and maturity is matched by that of the wickedness of the world that these characters inhabit, and as a result the character development is all the more significant. Their lives are no longer as innocent as they once were, and the dark forces in the world of Harry Potter take a more proactive approach in their power struggle, something which has far more dire consequences than that of the first three films.
Several new characters are introduced who add a great deal of substance to the plot, and as a result the previously existing relationships are permanently altered, becoming more complex than that of childish innocence. Potter's new mentor for example sort of leads Potter down a nefarious path, which is the only way Potter has a chance to stand up to the imminent confrontation of his greatest foe. His inner demons grow in numbers, and it's obvious that Potter is no longer as benevolent as he once was.
The special effects and setting never disappoint, which complement the film just as effortlessly as before. I must give credit to the new director Mike Newell who has a deep understanding of the more disturbing and adult nature of this 4th chapter in the series.
I wouldn't say that this movie is better than the others, but it's definitely a worthy successor and moves the plot along as well as one could expect. I definitely recommend this film to Potter fans and newcomers alike because it is completely entertaining from start to finish.
Description of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Two-Disc Deluxe Widescreen Edition)
When Harry Potter's name emerges from the Goblet of Fire, he becomes a competitor in a grueling battle for glory among three wizarding schools - the Triwizard Tournament. But since Harry never submitted his name for the Tournament, who did? Now Harry must confront a deadly dragon, fierce water demons and an enchanted maze only to find himself in the cruel grasp of He Who Must Not Be Named. In this fourth film adaptation of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, everything changes as Harry, Ron and Hermione leave childhood forever and take on challenges greater than anything they could have imagined.DVD Features:

Theatrical Trailer
The fourth entry in the Harry Potter saga could be retitled Fast Times at Hogwarts, where finding a date to the winter ball is nearly as terrifying as worrying about Lord Voldemort's return. Thus, the young wizards' entry into puberty (and discovery of the opposite sex) opens up a rich mining field to balance out the dark content in the fourth movie (and the stories are only going to get darker). Mike Newell (Four Weddings and a Funeral) handily takes the directing reins and eases his young cast through awkward growth spurts into true young actors. Harry (Daniel Radcliffe, more sure of himself) has his first girl crush on fellow student Cho Chang (Katie Leung), and has his first big fight with best bud Ron (Rupert Grint). Meanwhile, Ron's underlying romantic tension with Hermione (Emma Watson) comes to a head over the winter ball, and when she makes one of those girl-into-woman Cinderella entrances, the boys' reactions indicate they've all crossed a threshold.
But don't worry, there's plenty of wizardry and action in Goblet of Fire. When the deadly Triwizard Tournament is hosted by Hogwarts, Harry finds his name mysteriously submitted (and chosen) to compete against wizards from two neighboring academies, as well as another Hogwarts student. The competition scenes are magnificently shot, with much-improved CGI effects (particularly the underwater challenge). And the climactic confrontation with Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes, in a brilliant bit of casting) is the most thrilling yet. Goblet, the first installment to get a PG-13 rating, contains some violence as well as disturbing images for kids and some barely shrouded references at sexual awakening (Harry's bath scene in particular). The 2 1/2-hour film, lean considering it came from a 734-page book, trims out subplots about house-elves (they're not missed) and gives little screen time to the standard crew of the other Potter films, but adds in more of Britain's finest actors to the cast, such as Brendan Gleeson as Mad-Eye Moody and Miranda Richardson as Rita Skeeter. Michael Gambon, in his second round as Professor Dumbledore, still hasn't brought audiences around to his interpretation of the role he took over after Richard Harris died, but it's a small smudge in an otherwise spotless adaptation. --Ellen A. Kim
On the DVD
The highlight of the two-disc set is a half-hour conversation with actors Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint. They discuss their reactions to the film and other topics with British writer Richard Curtis . Then they answer questions from contest-winning fans, such as what are their favorite kids' books (Watson bypasses the obvious answer in favor of Roald Dahl and Philip Pullman) and what scenes are they looking forward to in upcoming films. More routine extras include the "Reflections on the Fourth Film" featurette (14 min.), though it has comments from some of the other young cast members, and "Preparing for the Yule Ball" (9 min.). The 10 minutes of additional scenes are mostly skulking and skullduggery, plus a long musical number from the ball. The remaining material is grouped along the lines of the Triwizard Tournament, with behind-the-scenes looks at each of the competitions (about 22 min. total), two longer featurettes on He Who Must Not Be Named (11 min.) and the workday of the other contestants (Robert Pattinson, Stanislav Ianevski, and Cl?mence Po?sy, 13 min.), and four games, playable with the directional arrows on the remote control, that can be frustrating to figure out. --David Horiuchi
