This DVD has really amazed me. I didn't go see it in theatres, and am highly impressed overall with the film. I do wish they would have been a tad more faithfull to the book, and added in more stuff...longer movies don't bother me at all. I WANT good movies to be 3 or more hours long. Really.
If the movies continue to get better after each one like they have been, then Goblet of Fire should be awesome.
(the Aunt Marge scene, btw, was done perfectly) |

It was pretty faithful to the book IMO, the whole Timeturner thing was done to perfection.
Mind you it'll be interesting to see GoF, that's my second fave book after OotP. |

Funny how I Just watched the movie around 15-20 minutes ago.
It's true that It pretty much differed from the book. |

I'm with Elmo on this one. Although I did find the movie awesome it didn't stay true enough to the book for me. |

Hmm....
Ok as a self confessed Harry Potter nut and a MASSIVE fan of this fiklm, let's tackle your points one by one....
"The actors/actresses have improved greatly. It's the new Director that messed this up. First, he BUTCHERS the book by adding in extra crap, cutting out GOOD stuff (The 3 Quiddich Scenes, not one short one >.<) "
- The other Quidditch games was superfluous to the story, however... I'll put everything I DID hate towards the end, lest there be spoilers.
"Also, Dementors CAN'T FLY. They hover a TINY BIT off the ground."
- It would make sense if they could Fly though, think about it, you wouldn't be able to get away from them. besides, they were creepy enough for me, and if they only could float, they'd look too much like Black Riders.
" On another note, in the begining of the movie, you see Harry under the blankets. What is he doing? MAGIC. Students aren't aloud to use magic out of school, that, right there, would pretty much get him in trouble."
- Using magic in front of Muggles isn't allowed. Perhaps Harry's allowed to do homework. I mean he's allowed to send Owl Post whist at home, and look at his Wizard pics though.
" I DO love the new robes though, but, I have a littly nity picky about that. If they are to get new robes before their first year starts, how do they know whether to buy Gryf., Sly., Huf., or Rav.? They'd have to either take a guessing game, or buy 5 robes, 1 pair for the first couple minutes of Hogwarts before they get sorted, and 4 after. They'd have to buy all house robes. If it was the normal robes, like the first 2 movies, they probably GAVE them a patch to patch on the robes after their sorted."
- Wizard clothes probably work different to Muggle ones. perhaps the robes change colours once a student is sorted, or the patch appears by magic or something? 
Ok, stuff that irked me....
Spoiler:
- No Cho! Although we do see her in the next film, makes sense....
- That Cheesy as hell ending, with the Firebolt. and the freze frame and the ARRRGGHHH, it sucks!

I'm going to go on and on about this, so be ready.
Move - The actors/actresses have improved greatly. It's the new Director that messed this up. First, he BUTCHERS the book by adding in extra crap, cutting out GOOD stuff (The 3 Quiddich Scenes, not one short one >.<) Also, Dementors CAN'T FLY. They hover a TINY BIT off the ground. On another note, in the begining of the movie, you see Harry under the blankets. What is he doing? MAGIC. Students aren't aloud to use magic out of school, that, right there, would pretty much get him in trouble. I DO love the new robes though, but, I have a littly nity picky about that. If they are to get new robes before their first year starts, how do they know whether to buy Gryf., Sly., Huf., or Rav.? They'd have to either take a guessing game, or buy 5 robes, 1 pair for the first couple minutes of Hogwarts before they get sorted, and 4 after. They'd have to buy all house robes. If it was the normal robes, like the first 2 movies, they probably GAVE them a patch to patch on the robes after their sorted. And is it me or is the script... mmm... a little cornier than the books?
