Totally ignorant as to the kindliness exhibited by Dumby in the books. At the end of the HBP (movie), when Gambon gets killed, I fear there will be more cheers than sadness :-( PS...Every HP book is perfect, and every movie can barely scratch this perfection :-) I agree on Gambon playing Dumbledore, btw.

Her book was the first, his is more or less he second, and the third will be the fulfillment of either them becoming the "Adam and Eve" who starts the new world order, or the ones who will fail, and let evil finally take hold over all worlds. As well, this book introduces perhaps the most important artifact ever: the knife. THis knife is what allowed the worlds to be intermingled, let dust escape (or intrude) on a grander scale than the mere cracks. Book three is by far my favorite. If you enjoyed the other two, even as decent reading, the third delivers, and the ending....well, it is fantastic. I have read through the entire series a few times over the last few years, and the books are better each time.

There was too much to fit into one movie. I also agree that Dumbledor was a jerk. I thought Michael Gambon played it wrong. The scene that displays this best is just after Harry's name comes out of the goblet and Dumbledor runs over to him like a lunatic "Did you put your name in the goblet of fire!??!!" I swear Radcliffe had to wipe the spit off his face. Craig: It should have been two movies. There was too much to fit into one movie. I also agree that Dumbledor was a jerk.

It was just too disjointed and Dumbledoore was kind of a jerk. Mark: I can't wait for Sarah Connor to start up again. I loved last season. Not much smarts, but loads of clever action on the same level as 24. My favorite new show from last season was Pushing Daisies. I absolutely adored that show and can't wait for it to start up again! john: Goblet of Fire was a great book, but I was disappointed with the movie.

I just hope they have the same excellent writers that they had for the first "short" season.

I think that is because it is my least favorite book. Now, Goblet of Fire, that's a book.

I think it was the ending, which was up there with Darth Vader freezing Han Solo. I love the middle parts: the bad guy always wins! This one was my favourite of the three.
