As Harry Potter is about to start his fourth year at Hogwarts, he finds himself selected to compete in the Triwizard tournament in which students from 3 schools participate in a series of challenging contests. Meanwhile, Voldemort’s death eaters are gaining strength, giving evidence that the Dark Lord is ready to rise again. By far the most stylish (and darkest) movie of the series so far, this 4th installment is long, but incredibly entertaining and never fails to satisfy. Fans of the book might not be entirely fulfilled (such is the case with every Harry Potter film), but the story and the performances are first rate (which makes it my favorite of the series so far). Ralph Fiennes makes an excellent Lord Voldemort and steals the show in every scene he appears in! And check out Robert Pattinson as Cedric Diggory long before his “Twilight” days (who could have predicted right?).
Rating: 3.5/4
