Harry Goblet

Yes. I went to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, or as my movie ticket put it, Harry Goblet. I found that to be mildly amusing. But that could just be from my brain screaming for entertainment during the 45-minute wait for the show to start (went early to get good seats).

I find that comparing movies with the books they are based off often leads to much disappointment -- they didn't put in this scene, that wasn't how I envisioned that, that character isn't supposed to act that way -- so, I won't compare it to the book. (Besides, I read the book years ago and my memory is kind of fuzzy.)

In doing so, I found it to be a good, entertaining movie with great special effects. It is one of those movies that seems to pleasantly last longer than the actual time that it runs (in this case, two and a half hours). Or maybe it just lasted longer because my ass was burning in pain the whole time. The Rolla cinema needs some better seats.

One thing my mind seemed to have trouble getting over is the apparent growth spurt these actors went through in the one "summer" between the two "school years". My, how those kids have grown. And also how fit those kids seemed to look. How many fourteen-year-olds have what looks like the beginning of a well toned, muscley body?

All right. I'm stopping here before I make myself out to be a paedophile.
