奶油咪咪的喵言貓語

Attention! IF you plan to watch the movie and have not done so yet, don’t read this. There might be some spoilers in the article.

After lining up for 2 hours (huge crowd; impossible to even find parking), we finally saw the movie last Saturday. I agree with Kid’s message. This movie might be unsatisfactory to book fans. Due to the huge amount of detail(600+ pages in English version, the movie has to cut out a lot of story development to fit into 3 hour of play time. Nonetheless, I was still quite excited about the movie. Among all 6 books so far, I love the Goblet of fire the most.

The idea of a triwizard tournament involving 3 different magic schools around the world is re-freshing and make the story more believable. I was pleased by the movie’s protrait of students from Beauxbatons to be so elegant and pretty. It matches my imagination to how attractive they should be to make boys loss their breath from the description of the book.

Also, another notable feature in this movie is that characters of different ethnics have started to appear, eg Cho Chang who seems to be of Chinese descent. Because of our more global society, we see multi-cultured people on the street. By incorporating this reality into movie, it makes this magical fantasy so much closer to real life that one hopes it could be found somewhere in the corner of the world.

Even though the movie, in my opinion, did not justify telling a good story from the original, I love seeing how the main characters have grown with the movie. Just like the roles they played, in real life, these stars have hit their puberty as well. Adolescent starts to make a difference to one’s perspective to fellow boys/girls. Perhaps, they themselves are going through this phase, or they have acted for 3 movies now, their acting is much more convincing this time. Besides this, they have even become more attractive as well. Hermione is prettier and Harry has developed some muscles (from the bathing scene ^__^) although I miss their cute faces when they just started the first movie of the series.

All in all, I think the movie is worth the time. I recommend it ^_^

ps. the movie IS long so 頭 別又睡著了;p
