Basic information
The film "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" is the fourth installment in the "Harry Potter" film series, directed by Mike Newell, and stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Tom Felton, and others.
The movie tells the story of how the intense pain of a scar wakes Harry from a dream, a murder that took place in another corner of this world. The disappearance of a wand at the Quidditch World Cup, the Dark Mark in the sky, the strange selection for the Triwizard Tournament, and the mysterious disappearance of Ministry of Magic officials all seem to hint at a grand conspiracy. When Harry wins and holds the Triwizard Tournament's trophy, he is transported to the side of the Dark Lord, who has been missing for thirteen years and is preparing for resurrection.

backstage trivia
Alfonso Cuarón declined to direct the film due to his busy schedule in making "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban".
The production team originally hoped to adapt the original novel "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" into two films, with several months in between their releases. However, Mike Newell insisted that he could condense the novel's plot into one film by making some choices, and Alfonso Cuarón had full confidence in his ability.
To direct a film, Mike Newell once turned down an invitation from the producers of "The Constant Gardener."
Once, over 3000 girls participated in the audition for the role of Zhang Qiu.
Mike Newell's film had a budget of only $1 million, whereas Chris Columbus's "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" had a budget of $100 million, plus a share of the film's profits.
Mike Newell is the first British director to direct a Harry Potter film.
Ray Winston and Billy Connolly were once considered for the role of Moody.
Rosalind Pike once refused to play Rita Skitt.
Carol Bouquet was once considered by Mike Newell as the best choice to play Madame Maxime, but her signing agency did not allow her to appear in the film.
Mike Newell initially thought Ralph Fiennes' portrayal of Voldemort didn't require makeup, but after seeing the simple makeup designed by Nick Dudman, Newell changed his mind.
Daniel Radcliffe once suffered from an ear disorder due to spending too much time underwater.
In the first task of the Tri-Wizard Tournament, 140 special effects shots appeared.
The film is the first Harry Potter movie to be rated PG-13.

Film review
Youth Magic
The飞扬的 youth hormones in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" may be its best selling point and the perfect seasoning for its magical elements. Spectacular special effects and the tension in details are the winning formula for the film's widespread acclaim. Exaggerated comedic scenes, as well as the hesitant romantic feelings between young Harry and his friends, have won the hearts of many, perfectly embellishing the darkness and weight of the Harry Potter series.
The grand Quidditch World Cup opening sets the youthful and spirited tone for the entire film with its futuristic arena and dazzling special effects; the French beauty magic academy and the Central European Dunsborough Magic School's entrance is a visual feast, with the white horses and silver carriages gracefully arcing through the sky and the ships bursting from the sea, adding a touch of fantasy. The warm Christmas ball scene, the modern and elegant ball makeup, Hermione's exquisite updo and beautiful dress, Zhang Qiu's white Chinese qipao, all exude an air of elegance and nobility, both magical and real. Even the first appearance of Voldemort in human form and his battle with Harry are visually pleasing. The "moderate violence, threat, and terror" do not seem to have deterred the younger audience, but rather, both young and old Harry fans are enjoying themselves immensely. The film evokes some of the excitement of "Pleasantville" for the audience, and the clever use of "universal appeal" elements is precisely the key to the magical success of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire."
The scene is grand and imposing
The grand and magnificent scenes are the film's most striking feature. The first climax of the film is unveiled by the Quidditch World Cup. The Quidditch World Cup, entirely created with computer effects, has produced an unprecedented grandeur that is unique to the "Harry Potter" series of films. The set, which accommodates a hundred thousand wizards, is towering and majestic, while the computer-generated surreal sci-fi effects create an illusion of stepping into the Galactic Senate of "Star Wars." After the World Cup, the sudden appearance of Death Eaters causing chaos brings a chillingly ominous atmosphere that is seven-tenths similar to the Ringwraiths in "The Lord of the Rings" series. Moreover, the grand arrival of the two foreign magic schools at Hogwarts is a feast for the eyes; the scene where Harry, riding a Firebolt, plays a thrilling game of hide-and-seek with a Hungarian Horntail that breathes fire is exceptionally exciting.
The plot is insufficient.
The director abandoned many of the amusing little spells and trinkets from the original, and without the neurotic Divination teacher Professor Plautne, the adorable ghosts that float around also took a collective "leave of absence" in this episode. Additionally, Harry's vague admiration for Cho Chang and the distress following his heartbreak, as well as the humorous triangular relationship between Ron, Hermione, and Krum, were not handled with enough subtlety.
Inconsistency in the plot is also one of the film's shortcomings. The Quidditch World Cup at the beginning jumps too fast; Krum has just appeared, and the camera switches to the wizard tents where everyone is celebrating Ireland's victory, leaving many viewers unable to keep up. Overall, the film leans towards the Hollywood-style filmmaking formula: huge scenes, simplified storytelling, thereby sacrificing many of the unique British nuances. There is great dissatisfaction with the pale storytelling, believing it does not capture the delicate texture of the original as well as the first and second installments did.
behind the scenes production
The original creative team
Warner Bros. Pictures has appointed Mike Newell to direct a film adapted from J.K. Rowling's novel. The production team also invited special effects supervisor John Richardson, creative effects supervisor Nick Dudman, and three-time Oscar winner for art direction Stuart Craig (known for "The English Patient," "Dangerous Liaisons," and "Gandhi"), who was nominated for an Oscar for "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," as the production designer.
Screenwriters Steve Kloves, Craig, Richardson, and Dudman have participated in the production of all four Harry Potter films to date. Additionally, those continuing to participate in the Harry Potter series production include cinematographer Roger Pratt (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets), costume designer Jany Temime (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban), and visual effects supervisor Jim Mitchell (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets).
Music production
Due to the scene of the Christmas ball in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," the production team specially invited the soul figure of the famous British band Pulp, Jarvis Cocker, as well as the guitarist of the rock band "Radiohead," Jonny Greenwood, and the drummer Phil Selway, to join.
Jarvis will join two other musicians in playing the members of the "Magic Sisters" band in the film, performing three songs: "The Majestic Hippogriff," "Tonight So," and "Magic Things." Warner Bros. will release the soundtrack.
Shooting process
"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" began filming at Leavesden Studios in Hertfordshire, England, at the end of spring in 2004. Scenes were shot at Leavesden, Oxford University, Virginia Water in Surrey, Ashridge in Hertfordshire, and Nevis Gorge in Scotland.
The two biggest challenges in the production work were bringing the grand Christmas celebration ball of Hogwarts to the screen and how to vividly depict the three dangerous and exciting tasks of the Triwizard Tournament. The first task of the competition was Harry's duel with a huge fire-breathing Hungarian Horntail dragon. For this scene, the special effects department created a 30-foot-tall dragon equipped with flamethrowers. The second task required young wizards to dive to the bottom of a lake and battle a water monster called Grindylows to rescue their friends. The production team built the deepest underwater shooting tank in Europe, and Daniel Radcliffe, Robert Pattinson, Stanislav Ianevski, and Clemence Poesy spent a lot of time learning to dive.
Before the grand scene of the dance party began, all the young actors collectively took dance lessons. For this play, the art department transformed the huge auditorium hall into a winter wonderland of silver and ice. The costume design department produced a series of splendid evening gowns, including Ron's old-fashioned robes.
Box office results
The film "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" grossed over $200 million at the North American box office in less than 10 days.
