The Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire DVD will be available on Tuesday. I'm excited. I admit it.
I went to see the movie with my mother, and she hadn't seen the other three movies or read any of the books. "It's OK. I don't need to see them to enjoy this one," she insisted. I was a woman of little faith because I didn't believe her. The result? I talked through most of the movie, explaining characters, why they did this, why that did that. My favorite line: "It didn't happen that way in the book."
Sorry, Mom!
Now I'll get to watch it and really enjoy it, although it's not my favorite of the four movies (See Favorite HP Books and Movies). That honor goes to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Reasons: 1) Director Alfonso Cuarón's work was beautiful; 2) I hadn't read the books yet, so I didn't know how much of the plot was changed. I could focus on the great special effects and continuation of the first two movies.
Now we face a long wait for the as-yet untitled final book.
