This evening, I got to sit in on the three hour preview of Harry
Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

I have to say it was pretty good. It followed the plot of the book
pretty closely (as the other three have done) although there were
some moments that seemed done differently from the book. I
don't recall a metal group breaking into "song" in the middle of
the Yule Ball.

The bit with the Marauder's map was taken out, but it was
covered over with plenty of other clues about the identity of...
well.. you know. And if you don't, I'm not ruining it for you.

The triwizard tournament is there in all it's glory, though there is
one bit that was just slightly different from the books. Well, I
think it was. I might be wrong, because I haven't read the book
in a while.

Other unnecessary parts were glossed over. The Quidditch World
Cup was shown long enough to introduce us to Krum, and then
it cuts to the celebration party with the attack of the Death
Eaters. The other tournament champions were not shown
fighting with the dragons.

All in all, though, I thought it was pretty good. I enjoyed it.
