Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is another Sci Fi film and another continuation of the first 3 films of Harry Potter Series, in which it talks about a boy named, Harry Potter who he didn't know was a celebrity in the wizarding world. He was the only wizard that survives the killing curse of Lord Voldemort. He was now 3rd year in Hogwarts along with his only friends, Hermione and Ron, who joined him in another adventerous life in the wizarding world. For this fourth year of Harry in Hogwarts, there is a big event happening in his school hosting the Tri-wizard Tournament.

The film started with a nightmare of Harry about Wormtail helping Lord Voldemort to become stronger, after that Harry, Hermione, and all of the Weasley Family to gather around and meet the Diggorys. Amos Diggory, father of Cedric Diggory was a friend of Ron's father in order to watch the Quidditch World Cup, it is a wizarding sport which happens worldwide. After the game ended, a certain group of people wearing black wardrobes and masks stood up and fire uncertain spells everywhere, causing a great tension of people running to secure thier safety including Harry, Hermione and the Weasleys. Harry on the other hand got lost and somewhat fainted, he woke up with the sound of silence and a mysterious man conjure a mark in the sky. That was considered the "dark mark", the mark of Lord Voldemort and his followers, the death eaters.

After that scene, Harry and the other wizards and witches from different houses gather around and announces the great event that will happen, the Tri-wizard Tournament. It is a legendary event which brings together three schools for a series of magical contests. The mechanics of this event, was hosted by Barty Crouch, head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, in which they decided that no wzard under the age of 17 should participate in this event for the safety of students.

Some of the unique scenes in which I noticed which makes this differ from other films is that a new and amazing story plot it shows. There is a new defense against the Dark Arts teacher, and old friend of Albus Dumbledore, named Mad-eye Moody. The way he teaches his students with great pride and dignity because of his past job being an "Auror', more like a policeman in the wizarding world. He did a lot of things, and according to Ron half of the cells in Azkhaban prison was intake thanks to him. Second new characters has been introduced in this film; Viktor Krum,the chosen champion of the Durmstrangs and also a popular seeker in the Quidditch World Cup Tournament; Fleur Delacuer, chosen champion of the Beauxbatons, which consists of only women in that school; Cedric Diggory, the chosen champion representing Hogwarts, a Hupplepuff house wizard. And Rita Skeeter, writer of the Daily Prophet, the news writer of the wizarding world newspaper.

Third,it may seem a bit odd but, Harry was chosen to compete in the Triwizard cup even though his age does not meet the required age to participate in this tournament. Because of it, the 2 schools namely, Beauxbatons and Durmstrangs are furious because 2 wizards, selected by the Goblet of Fire, were chosen to compete, for them its unfair having 2 representatives competing for the Tri-wizard Cup. After that incident, almost all his fellow schoolmates think of him as a cheater.

So the 1st challenge, which I myself excited about is about dragons, thanks to Ron Harry knows what is the 1st task. He might be able to surpass this task and told Cedric Digorry of course since they've been competing for Hogwarts so that they will have an advantage from the other schools. It all went well thanks to Professor Moody, who helped Harry to realize his strengths and came up with a strategy against the dragon. The Yule Ball, a kind of ball that was host in the early winter months in order to remove the great tense of the 2nd task in the Tri-wizard Tournament. Harry and Ron picked the Parvatil Twins to be their partners, on the other hand Hermione went on with Krum. From this scenes I predicted that Ron has a little "crush" on Ron despite on his capabilities of asking her out. Ron was so jealous when Hermione's partner was Krum, for he reason out that he was dating one of Harry's opponent in the Tri-wizard Cup. Two days before the 2nd task, I noticed Hermione has a bit of too caring to Harry despite of his inability to face the 1st task barely. Thinking of Hermione having a "feeling" to Harry could affect their friendship, since Ron has a crush to Hermione.

The 2nd task of the Tri-wizard Tournament has begun, and I thought Harry couldn't make it. But in the end Harry (who finished last place in the task) was awarded into 2nd place due to his determination to save two person instead of one. He sacrifice his life to save Ron, and also the sister of Fleur, it all ended happily and all of the participants has been promoted to the final task of this tournament.

The 3rd and final task came and I honestly know that there will be something big will happen, Cedric and Harry won but instead of them going back to Hogwarts, something bewitched the cup. It became a Portkey leading to the Riddle's graveyard, where Harry dreamed that Lord Voldemort was there to regain his power. Lord Voldemort regain his power, and somewhat had a magic duel with Harry, although the souls who was killed by the wand whom Voldemort was using triggered it; allowing Harry to buy some time to get out along with Cedric's body.

Considering how diligently J.K. Rowling put her imagination to make an awesome book like this, it really caught the attention of audiences. Harry being part of this big event is quite outstanding, and also the plot twists were unexpected and never knew that those scenes have a purpose. Mad-eye Moody without his PolyJuice potion drinking was transformed himself, and revealed as Barty Crouch Jr., son of Barty Crouch and the faithful ruler of Lord Voldemort. Lord Voldemort now remains in power, killed Cedric Diggory using The Unforgivable Curse, which is the Killing curse.

Although the ending scene was sad because Cedric was killed, Lord Voldemort now is in stand with power, and all the Hogwarts are now in great pain seeing their schoolmate died because of the Tri-wizard Tournament.

I rated this movie 10/10 in the fact that all of the actors and actresses, as described in the book is suitable for them, especially Cedric, played by Robert Pattisson. He was quite young back then, and his popularity shows when his character as Eduard in the Twilight Saga reign 10 years ago. The maturity of Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe, and Rupert Grin can be seen in this series and ever since on their childhood days until now; their development when it comes on acting and portraying what kind of emotion they've going to act was quite outstanding. Some of the scenes, important scenes actually was shown in magnificent order, the way the producers and the directors put their talent and effort to make again this movie capable of waking beyond our magical entities to aspire and love this film even more.

The way they put the story together was awesome, even though it was not complete if you looked at book basis. I wanted to see how Harry, Ron and Hermione progresses on this movie, how they're friendship will be tested, and I want to know if Lord Voldemort will successfully be the most powerful wizard of all times.
