I've just finished the fourth Harry Potter book (... and the Goblet of Fire). It is really satisfying to read a book when I don't know the ending or haven't seen the movie. I can't wait to see Alastor Moody! This HP book is very, very dark. It's a bit like a Shakespearean tragedy. I can't see a film company showing child murder in a family show. I don't know how they will do it. I love the beetle thing. I can see that quite clearly in the movie. There's a lot of back story. Wonder how that will be handled? It would take a really l-o-n-g flash back to handle it. ... Well, better them than me.
The premise is a bit weak: a 14-year-old participating in a 17-and-above contest when evey magical thing in the world is done to stop him. Harry is getting just a little bit too special. But, it's just a story. Right? I sure hope the parts about Fred and George get into the movie. As Harry says, "I could do with a few laughs. We could all do with a few laughs."
