Cinema: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Just checked the schedule at the Cinema and the latest Harry Potter movie will be on that day. Looking for people would like to go watch the 22:30pm session, because I have german classes that night, which only ends at 20:20pm. But there are other three sessions that day for your choice.

Anyway, time for Harry Potter fever again!!!

i would love to go! are you not interested in going at 0:01, the very first showing, hahah i'm such a nerd! but i looove harry potter!!!
let me know!

Already? Well, this was my least favorite of the HP books, but I suppose I will need to see it to make sure...

It's my favourite book myself. But I'm going to wait until the crowds die down a bit before seeing it.

From the Cinema web page there is a link to the web site, with the trailer on, am quite looking forward to it, but I'm with Showem, better to wait until the crowds die down a little.

so no one is going to jump right out there and see HP4 asap? if you're interested pls let me know!

Just to warn you: the movie won't be shown in English before Thursday, so all screenings on Wednesday are in German
(quoting from the Cinema's web page: "The HARRY POTTER premiere on Tuesday night as well as all scheduled screenings on Wednesday will be in the German version. Due to different release dates in the UK and the US (their launch date is Friday, November 18) we can’t offer you the English version for these dates.
Of course you can change your tickets to other dates or fully return them. The midnight premiere and the evening shows on Wednesday will have a reduced price of 5.- € and the afternoon screenings on Wednesday will have a reduced price of 4.- €.
All scheduled screenings from Thursday on will of course be in the English version!
We apologize for the late notice and any inconveniences, but decisions like these are never made by the theatres but by the distributors (our film content providers).")

yups i know! thanks i'm a huge dork and i'm hoping to see it in german and english so.. if anyone is interested in either let me know please! thanks

I have to wait until I can see it with my kid, so that'll be the Saturday. Looking forward to it, though!

I will go and see this movie...but I expect it to be a load of shite!!!

The 3rd film was wank...utter, utter masterbation crap. The storyline from the book had been picked to death so badly it didnt make sense anymore, somehow they found all the time to miss entire parts of the book, but added at least 10 minutes of shite that never existed.

The 4th film doesnt promise to be any better, all the side stories are gone, Mrs Weasley is not even in the film, personally IMO she plays an important role for Harry as she is like his adopted Mother. Literally this is down to the bare bones.

kinda surprised at you 3L, according to legend, you too busy shagging to watch stuff like this ?

no mrs. weasley! ugh! yeah this'll be interesting- i rather like that lady! i liked the book so we'll see how the film goes... i wonder who's changing the films and if it has anythign to do w/ a change in the director?

Would any one here consider joining curry night and HP4 right afterwords on the 23rd, or is it a bad idea?

You mean legends like Bigfoot, the Yeti, the Loch ness Monster and King Arthur, where its actually a load of bollocks and not true?

Agreed. I love the books, and the movies all frustrate the hell out of me. But I still have to see them. The kid's really just an excuse.

love disney movies and HP etc and used to love taking my son as an excuse to see them but he's a little more reluctant at the age of 17 to do that now . ...

the LSB- hmm.. i'd definately consdier it! i have to find out about work- that'd be the english version hehe hopefully i'll get to see HP4 asap so then i'll be ready to fully enjoy it (or get frustrated) in english! i'll get back to you when times closer

I'll stay tuned mattiehh

Can he take my 15 year old daughter? She will point out all the weak spots in the movie. We are going with her on Saturday.

It is interesting to see how many people hate movies made from books. They dislike the fact that during the process of converting a 1000 page novel into a 200 page movie script, things get omitted.

I really did not expect that the third HP movie would have a chance of capturing any depth from the book. I feel that they succeeded, to my satisfaction.

However, the 4th book was soo much more complex than the 3rd. I don't see much hope. But I will see the movie anyway.

@ theLSB
thanks for pointing out the change in language for the HP at the cinema.

i hated the HP1, haven't seen the second, as expectations are generally low by then, i liked the third one and i hope that HP4 is fun too.

I've reserved 4 tickets for 15:30 on Sunday (20.11.2005). That's soon enough for me.

You are welcome planetmoni, but it wasn't me, it was scf3.

Hi there,
I just checked the cinema München website and they are stating that the Harry potter film will only be in german until thursday, not tuesday as advertised, Damn, I bought tickets and the german translations are always crap.

I understand the difficulties, but there is still a lot of choice in what gets excluded, and in the third one in particular (although that may be just because that's the one I've seen most recently), I think important plot points were glossed over or sacrificed altogether in order to make time for things that were less necessary. For instance, the boggart scene was given much too much time for its importance to the story. I thought.

funny thing is, sometimes the trimming process actually makes the story much better. one example that comes to mind is The Lord of the Rings - the first two films were excellent! - BECAUSE they cleared out all the tangential, unimportant page filling crap "background", rightground, leftground, and oh-my-god-I-just-wasted-20-minutes-of-my-life-reading-that-useless-rubbish-ground. the third film did a poorer job of this, and the film suffered. in my humble opinion

*running and hiding from the Tolkien freaks of the world. perhaps I will use this cloak of invisiblity that was first worn by Theosu of Adows, which is an ancient land beyond the forest of Hissues, which in the last age was the home of ... oh ffs*

@Chicago: that is exactly my point. The LotR movies were excellent adaptations of the books because they cut out the crap but left in enough of the important stuff to actually tell a story. Adapting a book to a movie can be done well, but in the case of the Harry Potter stories, it wasn't.

I'm still gonna go see 'em all, though.

I thought OhFFS lived in Munich

@derek- you're going tonight? so am i and perhaps kiltedkirsty! we should meet up! i'll PM you

so when someone sees HP4 let me know what you think! i have to see it English to fully appreciate it and i'll have a more concrete opinion then, but i need to talk to someone who's seen it! it's different than the others- at least i think so (but it could've been i was just missing out on lots of the dialog)
wont say anymore until someone else sees it- let me know though!
danke

I still haven't worked out why Harry P is so popular

That's how I feel about the Lord of the Rings movies.

There's a TTer who feels that Jay Leno is funnier than Conan O'Brian; poor fella.

I just chalk it up to different tastes.

As for HP, it helps to have kids in the right age bracket.

that I can sort of understand, but the popularity seems to be all encompassing

Saw HP4 last night. i thought it was good. they seem to get better with every new film ( I don't like HP1+2). i liked voldemort. if you liked HP3, then you will like HP4.

if it was at cinema, you do know you can get your tickets refunded? i'm doing the sat late show. hopefully no intermission.

Harry Potter and the Gobbler of fire:

Never accept a blowjob from a leprechaun who has just gargled with chilli vodka.

I personally prefered HP3. HP4 was way too complex for 1 film, so it seemed to lack some depth.


I used the word "blowjob" recently on a website for techno-geeks, and got a warning from the mod for using non-"family friendly" language. Turns out the website is US based. Natch.

?
This is one of my first nights off... the 23rd however, I have german class till 21h what time does the movie start

I saw HP4 last night too and this 40+ guy thought it was brill !

a lot darker than previous films but a lot funnier too due to more adult lines

@SOB
At 22:15 (which is earlier than the normal 22:45)
I am really undecided about this.
On one hand I would really like to go see it, and the fact I am any way in the city for C night makes it ideal, but when tickets are reserved, you need to be there half an hour earlier, which will make C night very short for me, too short I would say...

If any one considers to join me on 23.11 for HP4, and does not plan to go to C night, and would be so nice as to claim the tickets, that would be great.

me too. i had a great time. yes it is darker, but more mature too. we all know what will happen, but i almost cried nevertheless. if i had read #4 just before seeing the film, i would ahve probably been disapointed too, but i think they did a great job bringing the best parts of goblet of fire onto the screen.

I've got one extra reservation to the 15:30 showing today (Sunday) if anyone wants it. PM me.

now if you had two, Kat ;-p

...and Elfenstar, "we all know what will happen"...not true, I have no clue.

Saw it last night and really enjoyed it. Good movie overall...

Harry Potter will save the day and win the whatever it is called match.

I have a prediction about this outcome of all this, but I don't know if I should spoil it for you all.

My extra ticket is gone now.

We watched it yesterday, and as avid HP readers and discussers we had a LOT to talk about. Loads of the plot were left out or changed, the flow of the book is not captured in the movie, it's more single episodes. But as a movie, it is very, very good. The changes were made so as the plot was still logical, and there is a fair amount of humor which was singularly lacking in the 3rd movie. I still cried when Cedric asked Harry to take his body back. Sentimental Cancer that I am.

I just saw it today, and I do think it is the best Harry Potter movie so far. A lot had to be left out, but it wasn't as clumsily done as in the other three, IMO. Definitely worth seeing.

Would my (very emotionally sensitive) 8 your old be ok in it? He was invited y a friend, but we had plans.
He hid under the seat in the last one (but he was younger then) the dementors really freaked him out.
But he managed star wars 3 without a flinch..

Hmm, I haven't seen SW3...but this one was definitely freaky, the graveyard scene was pretty scary. My 10-year-old is never freaked by movies - I get more upset than he does - so I wasn't worried about him at all, but if I were you I'd...hesitate. Especially at the Cinema, which really is too loud.

If your son can wait for it to come out on DVD and see it in the safety of his own home, or a friend's house, I think I'd recommend that. If he's a huge HP fan and really can't wait that long, then at least go over the book with him and make sure he knows more or less what to expect.
