Well, I'm not a Harry Potter fan (haven't read one of the books) but I have seen all the movies once (on DVD). HP4 is the first I actually saw in the theater as my girlfriend is a big fan.
[MINOR SPOILERS]
Anyway, I still think I liked Prisoner better than Goblet but this movie was certainly good. The only thing I didn't like was the opening sequence where they are at the tournament and then everything on the field is destroyed suddenly they're on a train to Hogwart. My girlfriend explained the book version to me and I can see where it worked there but in the context of the movie it should have been cut.
Overall though it was very good. I didn't get bored at least.

Sadly, I did, but then I'm not a fan of the Potter, neither book nor film.
Reading is freedom.
The mind soars, no earthly cares,
no limitations.

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.

Today I saw it in theater.
Pretty good. Better than "Chamber of Secret" and "Prisoner of Azkaban", but I liked first one, after all. The dance party scene was boring. But final battle was exciting. I enjoyed darker and colder battle scenes.

Saw it yesterday. Excellent. I'm beginning to prefer the films to the books. I find Rowling's incessant adverbs distracting. They take me out of the story (he said distantly).

I think adverbs aren't used enough in today's America.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
