Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire- MOVIE
Greyfriars Kirkyard in Edinburgh was a source of major inspiration for JK Rowling and contains the grave of Tom Riddell. He passes away in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1806 and for obvious reasons is not the father of Lord Voldemort. Zianna Weston took this photo on a Harry Potter walking tour that she took in 2019.
This week your favorite Harry Potter podcast we watched Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire takes the series in a new direction. Creatively, there are some pretty big changes. This film brought on a new director, Mike Newell. It is evident that he was focused on creating an action-packed film with a breakneck pace. In HBO Max’s Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts we learn that Mike Newell actually broke a rib when he wrestled James Phelps (Fred Weasley) in an attempt to bring some intensity to a scene.
This is also the first movie that is not composed by John Williams. The new composer Patrick Doyle uses several of the motifs that are used throughout the series, but the score in this film sticks with the intense energy that drives this film.
We’re introduced to some new characters. Most notably Mad Eye Moody played by Brendan Gleeson, Fleur Delacour played by Clemence Poesy and Lord Voldemort played by Ralph Fiennes.
Our biggest takeaway from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire? Ralph Fiennes is ripped.
Until next week on your favorite Harry Potter podcast…
