This past weekend, I saw the film Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. As part of the popular Harry Potter book
and film series, it was definitely one to remember.
This film is mainly about a magical competition that takes place between wizarding students at Hogwarts
over the course of the school year. Harry has been entered into the contest, which is known as the Triwizard
Tournament, and many twists and turns make for quite the adventurous competition. True to Harry Potter
form, the characters encounter problems, tragedies, challenges, and mysterious behaviour that they are forced
to decode.

New characters were introduced in this film, which was an enjoyable aspect and added a new element of
intrigue that the previous Harry Potter films did not possess. Furthermore, this installment of the series
seemed to follow its literary counterpart the most closely and accurately. Also, this film was of a good length:
not excessively long but long enough to tell the story. Another great aspect of the film was the special effects,
particularly with regard to all of the scenes featuring the dragons.

This movie was also different from the rest because it had more story concerning the characters’ love lives. In
one particular scene, there was a dance that all of the tournament contestants were to attend. The characters
went to the ball, and it was so much fun to watch. First of all, the scenery of the ball was exquisite, and it was
amazing to actually feel like you were there! This was definitely one of the highlights of the film.

Overall, this was, in my opinion, the best Harry Potter film yet and portrays the fantastical story of witches and
wizards and the world of Hogwarts extremely well. With the addition of new characters, the fast-paced nature
of the film, and the added romantic aspects, this movie was truly a great one.

Write a review of a film that you have watched recently. Don’t forget to talk about the
life skill creative writing
message which the film gives and your opinions on it.
