Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire

Harry Potter If you haven’t seen the movie yet and don’t wanna read what goes down, skip to the next post. I went to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire with my brother Mike, Scott, Darcy and Jamar. I just recently bought the first book and am reading it now. I was impressed at how readable it is. I thought it would be too kiddy. So I was really looking forward to seeing this one. It wasn’t that it was bad - I just don’t think it was as good as the last one. It felt like it was a T.V. episode verses a movie. It also didn’t seem to climax enough for me. Maybe there were too many sub-plot developments. Hermoine and her new boy friend, who I thought was going to have a bigger role to play and the new kid in the movie who didn’t make it all the way through. Ron getting jealous of Harry. And of course, Ray Finnes as Voldemort. So, while I did like it, I felt that it fell a little short of what I was looking. Question was, what was I looking for?

    Salaams,

    Although I’ve been accused of being a buzzkill… I and a couple of other bloggers have been talking about Harry Potter i na more critical way. I’m sure there if someone wanted to, they could write a huge paper on the orientalism and other racial issues which appear in the Harry Potter series.
