Watched Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire on DVD


This evening I watch Harry Potter on DVD and I will just write a brief summary of the plot below. Before anyone states the obvious I know I am too old to admit to watching Harry Potter but I had a young relation with me at the time!

This year Hogwarts is hosting the Triwizard Tournament. Two other schools are vying for the honorable Goblet of Fire trophy: the Beauxbatons Academy and the Durmstrang Institute. Candidates, who willingly enter by placing their names in the Goblet of Fire, must be seventeen years old to join the dangerous competition of three challenges. The Goblet chooses not three, but four names. Big Harry, though only 14, cannot be excluded since the Goblet appears to want him to play.

The three challenges are fighting a dragon, an underwater rescue, and a run through a magical maze. The maze brings Harry face-to-face with tongue-wiggling Lord "No-Nose" Voldemort who needs Harry's blood to resurrect himself.

Now that Harry, Ron, and Hermione are fourteen, they are becoming interested in sex. And the School's Yule Ball has everyone expected to pair up and dance! Harry, still not claiming his magical heritage, fumbles around girls. Ron, after having a jealous spat with Harry, starts to notice his feelings for Hermione. Being more mature, Hermione accepts Durmstrang's muscular star Viktor Krum's invitation to the dance.

I personally thought that this movie was the best one so far, however its sexual references and frequent scary dragon scenes may make it too much for the younger viewers amongst you!
