Harry potter movies goblet of fire8/7/2023 ![]() ![]() Although we glimpsed his face in "The Sorcerer's Stone," we see him in full on screen for the first time in "Goblet of Fire," and he does not disappoint: Hairless, with the complexion of a slug, his nostrils snaky slits in his face, he's played by Ralph Fiennes as a vile creature who has at last been rejoined by his Death Eaters, who were disabled by Harry's magic earlier in the series. ![]() Is it fair to wonder if the series will continue to grow up with Harry, earning the R rating as he turns 17?Ĭertainly Lord Voldemort seems capable of limitless villainy. There is still at least a mail-owl, and what looks like a mail-raven (it may represent FedEx), but many of the twee touches of the earlier films have gone missing to make room for a brawnier, scarier plot. Instead, they focused only on the joyful impact Fred and George and their beloved joke shop had on the hearts of the Wizarding World and fans alike.Harry ( Daniel Radcliffe) was just turning 13 in the previous movie, " Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" (2004), and the Potter series turns PG-13 with this installment. In the end, the explanation behind how the twins opened Weasley's Wizard Wheezes wasn't the most critical element to include in the movies. In addition, the Fred and George subplot wouldn't have made sense without the full events of the Quidditch World Cup, and the presence of Ludo Bagman, which the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire movie just didn't have time for with the focus on Mad-Eye Moody's evil plot. Unfortunately, the purely comical role the Harry Potter movies had established for Fred and George just wouldn't have fit here and would have only distracted from the new direction that the films were taking now that the Dark Lord had become a more tangible threat. The scene brought together the sorrow of Cedric's death at Voldemort's hand and the steadfast companionship of the Golden Trio. Instead of the moment between Harry and the Weasley twins, Goblet of Fire ended with a scene featuring Harry, Ron, and Hermione together, accepting that everything in their lives was going to change. Weasley's Wizard Wheezes would suddenly appear as a fully functioning shop in Diagon Alley two years later in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, with no explanation of how the twins could have afforded it. Instead, Bagman was cut entirely, along with other characters like Charlie Weasley, and the Weasley twins went about their school year as their usual comical selves, offering students samples of the products they were developing. Of course, the Goblet of Fire movie did not include Fred and George's conflict with Ludo Bagman and the solution of Harry offering them his winnings. ![]() With the return of Voldemort in Goblet of Fire, Harry knew that his life and everyone else's in the Wizarding World would change, and the kind of laughs that the Weasley twins could offer with their shop was exactly what everyone needed. ![]() It was a tender moment that further connected Harry with the Weasley family and one that was rarely observed with the eternal jokesters. After Fred and George Weasley confessed that they had lost all their money and, with it, their dreams of opening a joke shop, Harry decided to give them his Triwizard Tournament prize money- a whopping 1,000 Galleons. ![]()
